Rode it last year, it's 3 lanes on both side and the surface was great, gps showed 6.7 miles 1 way. Think there was 1 light if i remember correctly, mostly flat but very scenic. I rode up from the bronx last year, which probably took 45 mins going through the south county/putnam trail. Can also get there by metro north but i'm not familiar with this.

They had more dates last year so i think they'll anounce more dates at a later time. Doing the 5 boro this sunday, but will definitly ride up the following sundays.

Is anyone interested in doing laps in the CP tuesday pm around 6.30pm.

See you at Boathouse at 8.30 am Tuesday 4/26/2011

Do any inexpensive Tour de France trips exist?  I am thinking of one where one bikes part of the course and then watches the race?  Either guided or self-guided.

Barring anything unforeseen and barring any wet weather/wet pavement, I will be at Engineers' Gate at 5:45am.  I look forward to seeing you then.

Loretta, Thais, and Danielle - please update your NYCC account information with an emergency contact name/phone number (that information is currently blank on the sign-in sheet).  Thanks.

Pedestrians and motorists, watch out -- cyclists are abusing their ticket to ride!

Forty-one percent of two-wheeled travelers observed on a pair of SoHo bike lanes last week blew through red lights, pedaled the wrong way, zipped along the sidewalk or rode outside the lanes, a Post investigation found.

The lanes that intersect Lafayette and Prince streets got plenty of use -- 7,182 cyclists rode them between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. over five days last week.

But reporters saw 1,759 of those riders -- 24 percent -- running red lights, narrowly avoiding collisions with pedestrians and cars.

I am planning to meet Jorge at NJ end of GWB 10 AM for a ride of about 50 miles perhaps as far as Rockland Lake to return to the bridge about 3
