Bike Trip to the Pallisades

Today I took advantage of the great sunny weather and biked with Stacey and Ryan and Mark, a couple of her class mates, over the George Washington Bridge to the Pallisades in New Jersey. After the monumental ride over the bridge, 10 minutes of cycling hell going the wrong way down busy vehicle streets full of roadworks got us to cycling paradise: towering sandstone cliffs, the expanse of the Hudson and the illusion that you have a stretch of unspoilt nature all to yourself.
