Route from NYC to Montak

 

Can anyone point me to a route or "Q" sheet for a route, I'd prefer a north shore route if anyone has one. Thanks

Gun & Emily's "Climb Till You Drop" Ride on July 31st

Submitted by EMaynard on Wed, 07/27/2011 - 11:38am

Hi:

Gun and I are really excited for the last in our series of long summer rides. This one, true to its name, will involve a lot of climbing.

Because of the length of the ride, the climbs, and the heat, we are going to try to keep our rest stops brief so that we don't have to take a 10pm train home. For that reason, we recommend that people bring plenty of pocket food, as most of our stops will be to fill up on water and we are going to have just one longer stop, for lunch.

Looking forward to it!

Emily Maynard

Bars That Fold Flat

For many of you this may be un-cool, but for those of you who keep a bike in an apartment or in a closed space and find the handle bars make storing your bike awkward, check this out:

Unable to see Rides.

Hi Guys, I joined NYCC 20 minutes ago and paid via paypal but am not able to see the details of the upcoming rides. Is it because I am still new and my profile needs to be approved or is something funky going on?

Thanks.

bike in box: fit inside taxi?

Submitted by JL44 on Tue, 07/26/2011 - 9:31pm

I'm taking my bike on a bus.  First, I'm putting it in a box that measures 53" x 30" x 8".

Uh, looks kinda long...is that going to fit in the trunk of the standard crown victoria taxi cab?

(subway or friend with car not options here)

 

 

 

South Mountain and Saddle River ride is on (+route)

Submitted by AHolmes on Tue, 07/26/2011 - 8:04pm

Hi everyone,
The weather looks good, so our ride tomorrow is on. The cue sheet is at http://nycc.org/node/49085, and gpx/tcx files can be exported from here: http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=284881
Note that even though the cue sheet starts the ride at the Central Park Boathouse, we'll be starting from Grant's Tomb at 122nd & Riverside at 8:45am. We have a good group so far, so I think we're in for a very lovely and scenic day.

NYC to Boston (transporting a bike)

Submitted by amj2142 on Tue, 07/26/2011 - 3:42pm

Unlike the previous post asking about a biking route to Boston, I'm wondering what is the best way to transport my bike from NYC to Boston (just for the weekend). Am I allowed to bring my bike on the amtrak train? what about buses? anyone has any experience with that? Thanks in advance
