Tuesday/Thursday morning laps in Central Park
Linda Wintner is out of town this week. Her ride is still on; we will gather at Engineer's Gate (5th Ave and 90th Street) as usual at 5:45 AM. I will have a sign-up sheet for anyone who has not signed up on-line.
For first-timers, I am easy to spot -- I'm the guy with the folding bike. See you tomorrow morning.

Hutchinson Atom Comp Road Tires (Black/Red) for sale
I bought these tires and decided not to use them. I bought them on sale for $25 each (regular price $66) plus shipping. I will sell them at discount off what I paid - $20 each. This is a great deal if the color works for you. 347 385-0998

River Road Closed
Status of West Side bike path north of GWB
This may seem like a silly question at this stage of the clean up, but does anyone know whether the path north of George Washington Bridge to Dyckman Street is passable, or is it strewn with fallen trees, limbs etc? I am guessing that if the latter, the clear-up crews have higher priorities, so it may take a some days to clear. For that matter, does anyone have information on what the path is like south of the bridge, down to midtown. I took the Subway this morning, but I am itching to resume the bike commute as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for any information.
501 & 9W Cresskill-Piermont in good condition
minor debris on sides of road
1 tree down on one lane in Rockleigh--same in Demarest--I would expect them to be cleared today
River Road closed--Police said it would probably be a few days not a few weeks
Huge improvement in Piermont--yesterday's flooding mostly abated--stores and major roads open
I'll try to check out Bradley/Tweed this aft
At least it don't cost $8K ...
"Nick Turner drove past a group of 16 construction workers sitting on a curb, and 32 eyeballs locked onto the car he’d built. A guy walking into Office Depot laughed with delight and said, “I knew the economy was bad, but this is ridiculous!” Outside a bar the other night, drunk people were lining up for rides, hanging off the back of the car and asking how they could get one, too.
CANCELED - Pedal & Paddle - Coming September 10th
CANCELED - Sea Kayak Connecticut has withdrawn due to a scheduling conflict. We'll try again in late Spring 2012.
Join Ken & Marilyn Weissman on this all-class ride to Piermont, where we'll meet the folks from Sea Kayak Connecticut at about 10 AM. Then instead of the usual pedal to the Runcible Spoon, we'll paddle kayaks--under the Tappan Zee Bridge to Nyack--seeing all those beautiful homes we view along Piermont Avenue with fresh eyes... from the river side. Marilyn and Ken paddle this easy, scenic route monthly in season.
Westside Greenway Path- Any news?
Thinking about riding to work from 181st to Battery Park using the greenway path. Any first hand experience on the current conditions?
Where is the last stage of the USA Procycling Challenge airing today?
It was suppossed to be on today at 2pm on NBC but the storm has overtaken their broadcast. Anyone see where it is airing? On a side note: Versus has had a hard time getting the broadcast of the race without picture break-up, freezing and actually full on missing lots of the action. I was so looking forward to seeing the race brought to television and seeing the incredible mountain roads of the state I love, but I've been severely disappointed.
