Anyone going down that way for the 4th?

If so, hit me up.  And, we'll ride.

Am I the only one who doesn't want to read about death and dismemberment on the NYCC message board?

If you read, say, a car forum (and way more people die in cars, even in New York City, than in any other method of transport), it's not all about death.

Why are cyclists so obsessed with or fascinated by accidents?  Just looking at the raw statistics, it's not like we have that much to worry about.

I hope I haven't offended anyone by expressing this sentiment.

I am wondering if anyone has information for rides around the Jersey Shore.  I found a route to get down there from Newark which I plan on doing, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for day rides I can do once I'm down there.  If not full rides, then even just somes good roads to ride on or sources where I could find such information?

Specifically, I'll be down near Point Pleasant / Seaside so rides around the Tom's River or even slightly further west would be great.

Ride details for this weekend's West Point trip:

Those who are not attending the entire weekend, but wish to join a ride may do so subject to the discretion of the ride leaders.

Thanks!

Rain,  wet roads. Back to cleep.

If you plan on climbing Bradley into Tweed, please take heed...right after you crest the top of Tweed and start the downhill, immediately after the second turn (the one that banks right) there is a LOT of gravel and some sharp rocks left over from last week's flooding.  I rode it Monday.  The gravel was dense, and it's okay to ride through, but trying to do anything but go straight is dangerous.  Not sure when/if they will "sweep" it or it'll just naturally get moved by cars. 
Also, this is pure hearsay, but River Rd is supposed to be hairy in the usual spots, also from the water runoff last week.

I signed up and already paid for the West Point 2011 Weekend. Unfortunately, I am now unable to go. If you're interested in buying my spot, please contact me at the email below in order to work out the logistics. Thanks, Bernadette Kilroy

I revised this ride, and it temporarily disappeared from the ride listings, but ride is on. We can decide that day whether to do Nyack or Piermont.
