Just another weekend lollygagging in the tri-state area: 50+ mile bike ride from Columbus Circle to West Englewood, New Jersey and then back to Brooklyn on Saturday; 4 mile hike/scramble with 1,500+ ft. elevation gain on Breakneck Ridge followed by 2 single-pitch lead climbs on the Poison Ivy Wall, and topped off with poached pear and quinoa salad, blackened shrimp grits, and caramel bread pudding on Sunday.

The local weekend warrior biking, hiking, rock climbing & scrambling: I could not think of a more appropriate and awesome way to celebrate one year of healing, strengthening, and post-shoulder op recovery!
