Today's B SIG graduation ride to Cold Spring is on as scheduled.  8:00 start from 72nd street / RSD. 

By all accounts, any rain today will be in the form of scattered to isolated showers.  Please dress appropriately.

Congratulations to all 2011 B SIG graduates! 

Wayne, for the B SIG Leader Team

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow's Cold Spring ride returns to the city on Metro North.  Because of Metro North restrictions, we cannot reschedule the ride for Sunday if it rains tomorrow.  Since that's the case, we will ride tomorrow unless the weather is really bad in the morning.  Forecasts are a little sketchy right now, but it looks like it will not be an all-out rainy day.

I'll post any change to this plan by 6:00 tomorrow morning.

Wayne, one last time for the B SIG Leader Team

This Sunday, I'm leading a fast B ride to White Plains. Back in Manhattan shortly after 12 PM. 8 AM from Eleanor Roosevelt statue. It's a nice route on greenways and back roads through Westchester. Route and other information available at my blog entry for this ride. It is listed as B-18 for 51 miles. The plan is to ride fast to White Plains, stop for coffee and pastries then ride fast back to Manhattan in time to have Mother's Day luncheon with Mom.

Two unrelated questions. First, over the past couple of weeks I have not observed a great deal of police presence on the cp drive in the mornings after 8AM. I'm interested in hearing what other people have observed outside of the 6-8AM window.

Second, when I exit the greenway at 181 to access the gwb it seems that I need to go against traffic on two streets to get to a southbound street. Is there a way to circle around in the direction of traffic to myself pointed in the right direction?

Hi all,

Does anyone have an entry pass for the Bloomin Metric that they would like to sell?  Registration is closed and I missed it...(

I have a CycleOps Fluid2 Trainer, block and mat that's yours for the taking. Email me to arrange details, if interested.

I got a summons taking a quick shortcut the wrong way on the first avenue bike path. Just one block to get to a west-bound street. It was mid-morning on a bright, sunny day, I was going very slowly and there was no one on the path. Cops were sitting on  fifth street and turned on their lights, gave me a summons, asked me if I had seen the Post this morning. ("Of course not!" I thought.) Gave me a summons for $130.00. I locked up my bike and am afraid to use it since. Bikes aren't cars and they should only be ticketed if the behavior is dangerous, my opinion. I mean, it's gonna be impossible to edit my instincts to take shortcuts, so I really can't chance the prohibitive nature of this crack-down.
