I can make Central Park in about an hour for those Manhattan races.

Actually it's rather amazing to me that a place as bucolic as Chester isn't farther away from the largest city in North America. I was just thinking today how much I enjoy living here. It's very beautiful, but it's close enough that I have contact with the city racing and cycling scene and of course, NYC itself. I do have half a dozen neighbors who work in NY City, two are executives, three are union construction guys (who may earn more $ than the executives).
