All Ages Welcome/All Faiths (or lack thereof) Welcome

Hi Friends, mark your calenar for this very special event.

Wear your usual cycling clothes and bring your bike INSIDE the spectacular Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine for the 13th Annual Blessing of the Bikes.

I'm looking for a cue sheet (pdf, Word, Excel etc.) that includes the Presidents hills about 4 miles North of 9W at Palisades. Any version will do. I just don't want to get lost in that maze of roads.

Much appreciated,

I just returned from 10 days in Israel.  I brought my travel road bike and managed a few rides.  The scenery is spectacular and the roads are in excellent condition for the most part.  Road biking in particular is growing rapidly in popularity and I saw several cycling clubs on the roads.  Interestingly, two of these clubs out on their Saturday ride had support vehicles following the group - part for support and part for safety - drivers are a bit impatient and many are not used to cyclists.

I plan to return soon and would like to connect with some cycling clubs there to ride with. I would appreciate any connections or information regarding any clubs, particularly in the northern and northeast parts of the country.

Thanks.

OK, more picture-taking than riding going on this morning but the fog was so fascinating, I couldn't resist.  Photos here

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.
