Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Back in New York. Now THIS is a train station ~6 mi from Grand Central to the Battery makes it ~130-135 for the weekend (can’t be sure bc my app died a couple times, and I took some detours) 010
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The train is taking me and Rex back to New York. Harry Nilsson on the earbuds — Nobody Cares About the Railroad Anymore… I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City 110
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Unironically, hooray for America. The Hudson Valley is gorgeous. This is one bit they haven’t managed to fuck up yet Look at the view from the Poughkeepsie train station 110
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Behind the sushi bar was the perfect place to watch fireworks over the Hudson River 110
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Made it to Poughkeepsie just in time for the skies to open up like Noah’s Flood again. Crazy that both ends of my trip were bookended by Biblical weather I took shelter in the sushi restaurant for some protein and rice and a beer. Job well done 120
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026From Brewster the trail runs on the North side of the mountain ridge and climbs ~350 ft (450 to 800) over ~10 miles. Then it’s all downhill to Poughkeepsie My legs are feeling pretty weak — I’ve done about 80 miles in the past 18 hours. Scenery’s nice tho 130
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026This bit outside Carmel was nice. I gained about 700 ft elevation yesterday. The first section today sheds about 300 ft as it follows the mountains East to Brewster. Then the trail turns back North/West and starts climbing again 120
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I was too tired to post updates yesterday but the Empire State Trail ruled. Nice and smooth, great scenery, mostly shady, not too many hard climbs. I did another 50-60 mi and made it to Poughkeepsie by sundown 120
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Made my way north out of the city and up the trail to Mahopac late last night. The historic (derogatory) Mahopac Motor Inn gave me shelter for the night, but no hot water grrr 120
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026The finest New York cuisine — the Recession Special at Gray’s Papaya. Perfect bike fuel too 120
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Rain finally stopped, producing this insane sunset. It did break the heat — the rest of the ride was much more pleasant 130
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Hopefully the rain breaks the heat and doesn’t just turn the city into a sauna for the next several hours 130
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Mere seconds after setting out on the Empire State Trail the skies opened up with the wrath of God — pelting rain, wind threatening to blow me off my bike. At least I’m not hot anymore! 130
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Kicking off my Divorced Guy Era with a quick bike trip from The Battery, NYC, up the Hudson Valley to maybe Poughkeepsie. That’s if I can manage ~100 mi in this crazy heat. We’ll see! 250
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Got my new helmet and kit bag just in time for my weekend jaunt from The Battery, NYC up the Hudson Valley to Poughkeepsie 231

Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I know for sure Parc Güell isn’t real, because people can’t actually travel to other dimensions 042
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Shockingly, *she* is a fairly green “breaking news reporter” Major breaking news, this. Maybe she got it mixed up with “braking” news? 110
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 27/04/2026I finally understand why Stiles was wearing this shirt 000
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Seems like every country has its “Super Patriots” 1204
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 14/04/2026In the wide shot you can see his arms are up in celebration before the ball even reaches the basket. Awesome 110
Matt Cramer @mattcramer.bsky.social · 05/02/2026He deleted but here’s a screenshot. Why is it always some guy named Graham 2120
