Sounds good to me!

I have an aversion to taking my bike anywhere by car; prefer to ride from home. But if you're willing to hop on NJ transit we can meet at any station on the NE corridor, that would be cool. We'll start that thread when the weather's looking a little more promising.

That sounds perfect, I'm only a few bocks from the the Rahway station so that should work well. Now all we need is warmer weather!
