Cold Ride To Work

HHT Southern Extension

12/22/11
The section of the Henry Hudson Trail Southern Extension between Texas rd (Matawan) and Greenwood rd (Marlboro) that had been closed for environmental cleanup is now open.

I had a late afternoon meeting at work. I decided to ride in on this cold and windy 30 degree day. Of late I have been riding on route 79 with it's large shoulder. Today I took the HHT and to my surprise I found the southern extension was now open. In addition I learned it runs adjacent to my job, how convenient. The trail is 4.5 miles of my 10 mile commute. This will make a much safer route in those twilight hours.
