Anyone know if the GWB south path will be open on Sunday 9/11?

I just now subscribed for the alerts, but I could not find any notice advising of closure this Sunday.

Does anyone know if the route will be available in electronic format - Google Maps, GPX, or the likes?

I am aware that their website states that they don't release the cue sheet until the morning of the ride, but I was wondering what my options are if I want to use my smartphone or a Garmin computer for the ride.

Join Jim and Ed on the classic route to Mamaroneck Harbor. We'll use our best "A" riding skills for a smooth classy ride. We'll pick up lunch at the Italian deli and picnic by the harbor. Return via the Riccardi Bypass.

For anyone interested in learning more about racing or just wanting to ride an A/20 pace for ENY, join up with the riders from the Siggis / NYVC team who will be out for the ride.  We’ll be meeting up around 6:45 in Sakura Park, keep an eye out for our blue and white kit (I’ll be riding a white Giant).  We’ll leave around 7 once the group is assembled.  If you’d like to learn more about the team (even just what our kit looks like so you can find us on the 24^th), check out http://www.siggisracing.com/.  This will not be a hammer ride, just a group ride at an A pace.  We’ll stop for all mechanicals, etc. 

Although there is a small chance of rain tomorrow, our ride is ON.  Consider bringing a shell in case of rain.  

The route is 72 miles from Grant's Tomb to Tarrytown.  Those who'd like to ride back to the city it's another 20 miles or so.

Below is a link to the GPS profile.  This is a route with plenty of rollers so we will take it easy.
