Please pave Bridge Street in Salem, already!!

31.2 miles to Manchester and back. New personal record on the Ayube bypass, 1:42, average of 27.3 mph, 10th overall. Average ride speed, 15.1 mph, max, 30.4 mph off the bridge
  To the person in the black Mercedes SUV, thank you for eventually hitting your brakes while I took the corner from Beach to Union heading south. Seeing that big old grill coming toward me sure gave me a shot of adrenaline to tackle the Forster Road/Susan's hill climb. Note to all you people behind the wheel, pay attention!
  Happy Patriots Day. Rode to Manchester and have these observations:

• The Salem bike path ends at the Palmer Cove Park and Playground. There is no route marked back out to Congress Street and Hawthorne Boulevard that I could find. This is a huge mistake. The bike path would be used more if it was market to allow riders to bypass Lafayette Street, although every Cross street in the Point has an annoying STOP sign on it.
• PAVE BRIDGE STREET IN SALEM ALREADY!! editor's note. Crews have listened to me! On April 18, crews gouged out the pavement for what looks like more trench work. Way to go!
• Very few people ride their bikes on Marathon Monday.
• More people ride their cars on Marathon Monday and seem to be in a big hurry.
• I know the folks in the Beverly DPS do a great job, but do you think some of them could pave the pot holes on Route 127?
• Cross Lane, Foster Street and Common Lane in Beverly Farms may as well have cobblestones on them, which is good training should I ever race in Amersterdam
• Don't complain when you have an awesome ride!
