Was not too bad. But I did the park and ride so dressed for 56F (city) as opposed to 48F (Bloomfield).

Looked at my cell phone for the time... ooops. I was seven minutes early, and that was the local train I'd just missed. The express came in and left on time, with me in it.
Congrats on the brevet. I never get more than 1h 30m to 1h 45m ride time in one session nowadays. So my endurance is probably crappy. Where in NJ are you? Central?
