Current gravel conditions, July 14th
Rode School Mountain, Wiccopee and Clove Creek trails today. You will need to use the Hubbard Trail go around off lower School Mountain as its water crossing is under water. Otherwise, these trails are in great shape. there was a small amount of erosion on Wiccopee just before it meets the Clove Creek Trail, but you can easily ride around it. This trail complex was well planned and executed; they understood water dynamics. The flat stone drain crossings had water flowing in them, but were not a problem to cross.
Fighting a red light ticket
Hello - I got a ticket for running a red light yesterday. Fairly sure I entered the intersection on an amber light but not certain. From where the officer was standing not sure he could really see the light as he was uptown from the light looking down. So he could only see the back of the traffic lights.
I would not be as motivated to fight this except for the fact that with the ticket on my record, fines escalate quite high if I get pulled over in the next 18 months.
A friend told me that there are lawyers who handle car traffic offenses for a flat rate. Has anyone here had any experience with this?
Thanks,
Dave

Garmin 935 altitude reading
My altimieter readings are all off. I did 4 CP laps. It said 3,428 ft. I went online and read tips for fixing this. It says to wash the back of the 935 with plain water. I did so. No change. Then soak and agitate every 60 seconds for 5 minutes in plain water. Nothing. Any suggestions?

WANTED: your input on city island fried seafood and ice cream ride
following the success of the jersey shore sandwich/brewery/ice cream ride, i'm keen to scout city island and surroundings to come up with a short, pretty route that's also somewhat recovery ride-ish and accessible to all types of riders.
Location to do FTP Test
Hi:
I'm looking for someplace to do a 2x10 FTP Test.
I have been using the Bear Mtn Climb, from the traffic circle by the lodge/carousel to the tower (once a year as my test), not sure that will be available in the near term. I'm in the NW BX, so places in Brooklyn/Queens are doable, but probably an all day trip. (ex: Floyd Bennet Field).
Places in Bergen, Westchester, and lower Rockland County are preferred.
Thanks.
