Following is information on closed roads and how to navigate around the closure of Hudson Terrace during the Gran Fondo New York on Sunday, May 20th.  I have received this information from Uli Fluhme—co-founder and co-organizer of the event.

First, the south sidewalk of the GWB is not affected in any way by the GF—and is open all day to everyone.

However, all of Hudson Terrace is closed to cyclists and vehicles both directions all day from the exit of the GWB to Palisades Avenue.  Also, Henry Hudson Drive (River Road) is closed until 5pm.

To get around the closure of Hudson Terrace:

 AFTER 8:00AM, take Bruce Reynolds Blvd to Lemoine Avenue/9W and proceed north.

Reminder: there will be no club meeting tomorrow night at Connolly's. The B SIG and C SIG graduations are on 5/15 and 5/22 at Connolly's. All NYCC members are encouraged to attend the B-SIG and C-SIG graduations.

Please note the following from the Central Park Conservancy:

The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) has notified us that it will be milling and repaving a portion of the Drive in Central Park as follows:

• West Drive from W. 90th  to W 72^nd St.
• Dates: May 7^th – May 12^th (morning of)
• Time: Work is scheduled to take place between 9:00PM and 4:00 AM; Equipment may be on the Drive before and after those times.

This is a curb-to-curb project for the entire length.

There will be heavy machinery and vehicles on the Drive.

DOT will be posting a VMS Electronic board and ROUGH ROAD signage as necessary  at key points.
