Did you know that the Bronx River is NYC's only true freshwater river?  The Bronx River was considered a source for NYC's drinking water in the early 1830's. By the end of the 1800's it was labeled "an open sewer." The river has made a comeback since the days of reckless dumping and now supports many forms of aquatic life like Alewife Herring and even a beaver named “Jose.”

Come be awed by its beauty and bike with NYC H2O and the Bronx River Alliance as we tour the Bronx River from its mouth on the Long Island Sound to its source in Valhalla.

Anyone not working this week up for some long daytime rides? I'm available Mon, Tues, & Wed (maybe Thurs too) and aiming to get anywhere from 50 to 75 miles in each day (ie- Orchards, Little Tor type rides). Would love to have some company. I'm an "A rider" but a slow one, especially on the climbs. I'm not looking to go fast, but a solid endurance/tempo pace without stopping much. If you're interested, contact me offline on: [email protected]

Looking for a used old frame for 100-200 dollars for my commuter bike. Size 58-60, preferrably steel black Peugeot from the 70s, but open to something similar.

Anyone have one of those they wan to get rid of?

email me at [email protected]

Gun,

Thanks for leading this terrific early ride today and thanks to Ernie and Phil for pulling and being good company!

Gun, when you have chance, please post the final mileage and elevation gain stats!

2 cyclists had I met on Metro North yesterday returning to GCT on the Hudson Line, reported they were stopped on their ascent of Perkins (Bear Mtn access road) about a half mile from the summit as the road was still covered in snow. A photo on a smart phone sure looked that way to me.
