And to be more specific, what's the minimum termperature you would want to see before traveling over the GW bridge for a ride to Nyack or Haverstraw?  I'm relatively new at this and have begun rides from the UWS to Nyack when the temperatures were about 32 F here (and around 26 at the 9W Market).  But those rides haven't been much fun, and after riding every Saturday and Sunday for six months, I have found myself apartment-bound three of these past four weekends (a cold, the cold, rain/snow etc.) with little improvement to the weather in sight.  At what point do you say "too cold" and make other plans?

I'm dazzled by the fact Eden Weiss rode 244 days! (And, at that, with days off due to injuries in an injury-plagued year.) 

So how many days did you ride. Laps in the park count; commuting rides don't.

If you want mileage, there's Jerry Piven who rode only 141 days, but 8721 miles (down 15% from last year). That included fifty (as in 50) centuries!

Eden was at 7025 miles with two days to go.

But I'm more interested in days than miles.

Wouldn't you think if the primary objective of the PA patrolmen (they are all men and they do walk in two-s) walking the GWB path was to provide safety, they wouldn't walk shoulder-to-shoulder, but, instead would walk distant from one another to cover more of the span and reach "trouble" more quickly? But, of course, that wouldn't be as enjoyable as being able to continually chat with your bud. As the patrol is now organized, it seems having the police enjoy their tour of duty takes precedence over maximixing safety.

a friend said a tree was down on Sunday. Was thinking of trying to do 30 miles tomorrow

Dear Members,

Where is the 2018 mileage located?

The title says it all.  I'm looking to get a new saddle.  I would like to try it out before I buy.  Anyone know of a LBS that has a program?

Thanks
