I guess they don’t have many volunteer fire departments in NYC.  You don’t get 
paid, you get dragged out of bed at weird times, but you do get a cool 
fireman’s helmet.

kind of like this one from another local VFD

Well, you're doing much better than I am. I haven't ridden my Bike for 
months. When I do, it is usually for accurately measuring Race Routes 
using the Clane-Jones method. I have a Trek road bike - hopeless for off 
road with those thin tyres.

I call that my “anyroad” bike.  It is suboptimal for technical uphill offroad, 
but the day before I went on a somewhat shorter ride where I rode up pavement 
and back down the hill on trails.

Sunday was 29 km and 620 m of climbing (according to Strava)
