Drive and Ride -- Bear Mountain

Submitted by smwdr on Wed, 04/13/2011 - 4:06pm

Hi All:

My friend and I want to drive to a location about 30 miles south of Bear Mountain, then ride doing the big hill and come back for about a 60 mile round trip ride.

Does anyone know of a good place to park and have a route to Bear.

Thanks!

WANTED - Thule Wheel-ON or off-brand equivalent wheel carriers

Submitted by CPerea on Wed, 04/13/2011 - 3:22pm

Looking for 3 Thule Wheel-on's (or their non-thule equivalent).  It's the piece that carries the front wheel when you use fork-mount roof racks.  I have a trip where I need to bring 3 bikes, 4 people, and a ton of luggage and won't be able to fit the wheels in the car.  I really don't want to pay the retail $35.  Anyone looking to get rid of some, or know where I could get them on the cheap?

Free Ride for $750?

Submitted by PStorey on Tue, 04/12/2011 - 8:44am

This may appeal to those planning to buy a new bike (or an Assos jacket and shorts).  Spend $750 at a participating bike shop and get one of Glen Goldstein's rides (North Fork Century, e.g.) for free.  See  http://www.nycbicycleshow.com/Bike_Shows/Buy_A_BIke_Get_a_Free_Ride.html http://www.nycbicycleshow.com/Bike_Shows/Buy_A_BIke_Get_a_Free_Ride.html.

VIP entry to 5 boro for charity for FREE!

Submitted by TLipshie on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 4:15pm

A board member with Bronxworks, a charity I post about endlessly, has offered to completely sponsor one rider. This means you could ride for free with a VIP entry and $1000 would go to homeless children. The catch is the last day to register is today, so you have to do this IMMEDIATELY! Here's the link

Watch it before the artist gets a cease-and-desist letter. (Even as legitimate satire.)

Using the Kissena track? -- Fat Cyclist's 100 Miles of Nowhere

Submitted by CPerea on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 3:08pm

Anyone know who to contact for permission to use the velodrome in Kissena park?  I'm coordinating a century ride for the NYC area followers of www.fatcyclist.com who want to ride the "100 Miles of Nowhere" together.  From fatty's website:

"The 100 Miles of Nowhere is a race without a place. It’s an event in which hundreds of people participate . . . all by ourselves. (Or with a friend. Or with 20 friends.)
