I also mentioned this in Pat's post. 

There still appears to be work going on, and the security man didn't know if this was permanent or temporary, but for now it's gone.  

Hi,

Has anyone done this route recently? Are there any issues with this route right now?

Thank you for any tips or suggestions.

There is a new sign by the entrance to the plastic jersey barriers on the NJ side of the GWB instructing cyclists to dismount and walk their bikes.  A construction worker today advised that police will be issuing tickets starting in a week for failure to do so, presumably to allow time for word to get out.  Apparently there was a pedestrian/bicycle incident.  It is narrow, as we all know, and the walk requirement is only for the length of the jersey barriers.  Just a heads up to all.

as a bit of trivia, we also learned today that that stretch is used overnight by oversized trucks to get onto the GWB and the jersey barriers are placed to provide the minimum width for such trucks.

Last year there was a contested election: the name of the winner was, obviously, announced; the actual vote was not. Why not? To spare feelings? We're adults. When we put ourselves forward, we can do so without being mortally wounded if we learn we aren't favored and even if we're overwhelmingly disfavored. That comes with the candidacy.

Neile has created the NYCC SIG/STS Train Request shared Google document for 2020. 

2 leaders have already contacted us for access to it. Coincidence that type A people would be in charge of A rides?

Contact me to get access to this document. I know, it isn't even Thanksgiving and we are dealing with Spring.

Looks like it will be 2 years befire the north walkway fo the GWB will be finished. This from the Palisades Park website

Many of us have gotten new bikes in the last couple of years that use thru axles instead of quick releases. If you've tried to mount such a bike to a standard, old-fashioned resistance trainer, you probably ran into trouble. I discovered the solution, which is a thru axle trainer adapter from Robert Axle Project: https://robertaxleproject.com/. I have no connection to this company; I'm just a very satisfied customer. They make it very easy to figure out what you need and how to install it.

I noticed on my way into work this morning, that the walkway on the Henry Hudson Bridge has been reopened.

That is a nice early holiday present, as it wasn't expected to re-open until April.

Also, there are now more  signs that state bikes must be walked.

I haven't had a chance to try it out as of yet.

Fascinating! but I am not sure why Bruce Weber wrote and the Times published her mini bio on today's (Nov 11) obit page.
