Springsteen and Boardwalk Bike Ride

This morning I woke up with sun shining and figured I should get myself bike on my bicycle and head towards either Asbury Park or Long Branch.

I headed towards Asbury, as the wind appeared to be going against me and I figured and catch it on the way back to Oakhurst. Once I got going, I realized we had a nice west wind - so either way I was doomed. But the weather was great.

By the time I made to Convention Hall, I noticed that there were around 20 people mingling around and security was parking cars. I forgot that Bruce Springsteen was rehearsing in Convention Hall for the release tour of 'Magic'.

Given that I was a bit tired, I waited for 5 minutes, then continued my ride to the Casino - or what will become the NEW casino. Madison Marquette has breathed new life into the boardwalk redevelopment. Where Asbury Partners stalled and scared everyone, MM has shown they can make things look good.

Back to my bike and back to Convention Hall. After another 5 minutes, Bruce pulled up the service ramp in his Range Rover, grinning at the few fans waiting to catch a glimpse and parked his RR in his usual spot on the promenade of Convention Hall.

Now all I had to was ride against the wind back to Oakhurst.

So back to work.

Now I have to find my daughter and star reporter for asburyboardwalk.com a couple "press passes" to the rehearsals. More on Bruce Springsteen on asburyboardwalk.com
