"Hi,

Important revised info for those wanting to go on a ""C"" night ride to the Lincoln Tunnel(yelling and screaming, permitted). The original start time was listed 11:20pm, Chelsea Piers, this Sat. night. This is a big mistake, my fault. Sorry Peter and Anthony...

ACTUALLY, it starts 9:23pm. The reason for the early start is that the George Washington Bridge closes at 12 midnight. Then I would have to make this easy C ride into a forced A18 run before the GWB closes. No way, baby.

Also, be sure to bring non blinking front and rear lights. And no pannier/backpacks.

Take care and hope to see you at the ride.
Alfredo

legal to ride the tunnel?

Please forgive me ingorance, I didn't know it's legal to ride through the tunnel. So is this by special arrangement? Or it's always ok to do it certain hours of the day?

It's by special arrangement. You can't cycle it otherwise.

yes, Neile's right

Just finished the ride before 1am. 35 people went and got their ya-yas out in the Tunnel, escorted by Port Authority officers in patrol cars.

We had no rest stop worries. There are two places I knew were open 24 hours/365 days a year. Guess?

This ride had been done by other leaders, but I have led it for the last seven years, plus last night.

Time to sleep,
Alfredo
