I finally did it!!!!!

Welcome to the commuting world and congrats! I'm very afraid of bridges....its really a fear of heights. I've got a small one on my way to work. It plays with my mind from time to time, so I admire the fact that you can go across a mile long bridge.

It sounds like your work place is really bike friendly. How cool

Thanks! I went to lunch with some co-workers, and when we pulled into the parking lot afterwards I had that momentary fright moment of "where is my car?" then I remebered, its home in my garage NOT using any gas.

yes, obie, its the Mid-Hudson. You're familiar with this area I take it?

I've never been crazy about bridges either, so this was a big mental hurdle for me. This is the bridge:

Wow. That bridge would sure give me pause. For once it's not the traffic but fear of heights, irrational as it may be. Well, once you've done it a million times it'll be no big deal. You've got brass ones for sure!

I've been on that bridge but not on a bike. My ex husband and his family were from that area - Middletown really.
