someone from CRCA rode river road and apparently it's way messed up. Huge landslides making it totally unrideable. Bummer.

For those who do hill repeats there.
The hill at the police station is fine, a little gravel, a few branches, but rideable.
Also thanks to the guy who helped me out the this morning when I was left a CO2 short- my employer thanks you!

Additional mudslides have compelled the closure of Henry Hudson Drive (""River Drive"") from the circle at its intersection with Alpine Approach Road in Alpine south to its intersection with Dyckman Hill Road (Palisade Avenue) in Englewood Cliffs.
This roadway is at present impassable and will remain CLOSED to all traffic (including bicycles) while repairs are made. It is anticipated that repairs will take over a week to accomplish.
This notice is in addition to the closure notice sent earlier today (and which is copied, below).

"I had an abbreviate ride this past Saturday, coming in from Bklyn and just doing RR - before the current slide.
The road was OK, but there were twigs, branches and 2-3-4"" rocks strewn about. There were also snow-ice glacier like areas coming out of the Palisades. I though, then, if they were the route a slide would follow. This thaw time of year, when the ice recedes, is slide time.
Be careful!"
