the problem with all of the hate on jersey is the generalizations. some people in jersey suck, but a lot don't. some areas suck, but a lot of areas are great. there is more variety in the little state of new jersey than in any other.
anyway, i'm in nyc but if you guys decide to get together for a hoboken or jersey city ride, i'd definitely swing by for that.
so far it looks like fickster, kneebone, Azul the Cat, and @work are down for a ride. there must be more.
