I took yesterday off. Was originally going to do a movie date with the wife. But the movie selection was not good (many others made the Avengers movie look good). Traffic seemed interesting but was not in the mood to see a human trafficing movie. Today was a nice ride in at around 49F or so. It warmed up a bit the closer I got to the city. I took an older route (Bergen Tpk -> Broad St -> Rt 5). Rt 5 is nice in that its a more gradual hill than Ft Lee Rd. It also has a decent shoulder for most of the hill. Only drawback is that the road before it (Bergen Tpk and Hendricks Causeway) can be a little bumpy at some points. Also the intersection before Broad is a little crappy. But not too crazy if you respect the light and stop for the traffic going out of Edgewater Ave right after it. I started to sneeze my head off after I got to work. So I know that spring is here if I'm sneezing. ;-)
