MILE NO. 0

Time: 4:16 a.m.
Place: George Washington Bridge, Fort Lee, N.J.

I have arrived in Englewood Cliffs, about two miles from the trench of the GW bridge on the New Jersey side. I've parked my car in front of a restaurant where it will sit all day and all night. The name of the restaurant is quite apt; It's called The Bicycle Club, of all places. I actually recall the restaurant from years ago when I used to live around the area.

It's about a block from the Englewood Cliffs police and fire building.

Anyway, I'm going to do about 15 to 20 minutes of stretching to kind of get limber and at 4:15 a.m. I can already see the northeastern sky already kind of lightening up. Ahead is kind of a dark blue.

It's extremely clear out, extemely calm. It's great bicycling conditions. And I'm pretty calm myself. I had a banana and an energy bar as I drove about 60 miles from Newburgh to here on the state throughway and the Palisades Interstate Parkway.
