Greetings! All,

   I hope this finds the community well and healthy.  I am interrested in riding from GWB to Mystic, CT.   Realistically, I should probbaly attempt it in 2 days, given all this heat we've received.  Any points of interest and a favorite places to stay for the night would be great.  I generally don't ride on my own so suggested routes would be nice.  I'm new to Komoot and use a Wahoo Element for navigation (usually pinned from RideWGPS).

Thank you for your shared knowledge. - Kirby

There were some signups earlier in the week, but by yesterdayish the riders had withdrawn. Ride listing here!

If the signup list stays empty as of 8pm tonight I will cancel the listing and just do an ad libitum ride in that rough timeframe instead. Thx!

Whaddya got?

I have some Pearl Izumis I didn't even like when I bought them 5 years ago. There MUST be some better. I hope there are better.

Although we are not scheduling train rides for NYCC, the public is not restricted to off peak hour for boarding trains with bikes.

Granted, you travel at your own risk and obey rules, meaning wear masks, without peak restrictions cyclists may take their bikes on any train.

For those who are not working, or have free time and feel comfortable riding trains during the pandemic, let it be known that individuals with bikes have never had such freedom regarding train useage. 

Last night I cycled from Nyack to Tarrytown on the new Mario Cuomo bridge bike path at sunset and returned to Nyack in total darkness after the sun has set.  The bridge was well illuminated and my front and rear lights were neded only to get home. (photo & details available) One evening last week Joan & I took a romantic stroll there.

Hi All -

As I've posted elsewhere, I think that it is a significant mistake for the NYCC to be having sponsored rides at this point (both weekly rides and ENY), and I would ask the NYCC leadership to reconsider their decision to allow rides.

Á Propos of safely getting in your training, we've added a new route to the Ride Library: The Hills of Northern Manhattan:  https://nycc.org/cue-sheets/nyc/120060

It has a number of virtues:

Hillclimbs in Manhattan outside of Central Park

I love the Hudson River Greenway.

But like a parent whose child who does not live up to expectations, I am beholden to chide it.

Just back from an out and back to the GW Bridge. 9 miles of riding the Greenway and I observed 3 bone head moves by users who surely would score higher on general aptitude testing. Two displayed the same mistake: they did not look behind them when they turned off the trail. Why is it that people who would never think of doing such a thing while driving a car never consider doing the same on a greenway?
