Recognition of the risks posed by UV rays has motivated scientists to study what’s going on in our cells when they’re in the sun— and devise modern ways to ward off that damage.

So long as I'm putting this on the MB, I seize on the opportunity to give my impression/report of my first full-on ClimBathon of the year...actually since last October.

1. The men's room at the PIPC Alpine station has a new urinal. Men will think it flushes automatically. It does not. (And, if history is a guide to the future, neither will a number--a big number--of men.

You can sign up NOW the these special club rides.   The Newcomers rides include nice routes to Pascask Brook County park where you will be treated to a great lunch. 

The Three Club Ride is new.  Come meet members from the Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey (BTCNJ) and the Westchester Cycle Club.

Both rides have A, B and C routes for all to enjoy.

Finally, I need help with set up for the Newcomers ride.  Please sign up with Brian's Prep Crew to help out.    Thanks again.

Hi fellow riders,

greetings from the UK

My son and I am riding down the East Coast from Boston to Orlando in September. So far we are stopping at Providence, New London, Centerport and Brooklyn and will be meeting our USA resident family on the Saturday evening.

On Sunday 9/10 we are looking to get to Somerset NJ via a visit to the 9/11 memorial in the morning.

The roads and bridges through Jersey look daunting and whilst I appreciate it is an adjoining state I wonder whether any of you can recommend a route for the first 10/15 miles

many thanks

Does anyone know of any good gravel/hard pack in the Great Barrington area?

Thanks

Didn't want to derail the Long Beach/Point Lookout thread. But it hit one of the area I wasn't too sure of.

Like others, I don't always ride perfectly legally: not dismounting on bridges with signs "Cyclist Dismount" being one of such. Other typical infraction is short stretch on the wrong direction, roads that are technically closed for construction etc. 

Hi,

I recently scouted the "Long Beach/Point Lookout" ride (RWGPS: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/21277820) and noticed both Marine Prkwy Bridge and Atlantic Beach Bridge are closed to cyclists (all cyclists must dismount). Anyone has any suggestion for that? 

Thanks,

Sina

Hi,

Anyone has the Garmin basemap for Great Barrington (Berkshires) and its srroundings based on openstreetmaps? 

If you have a detailed map for that area on your Garmin, can you send me the "gmapbmap.img" (for Edge 520) or "gmapsupp.img" for (Edge 705, 800, 810, 820, 1000) file via DropBox or something similar? 

You can find "gmapbmap.img" or "gmapsupp.img" inside Garmin folder on your Garmin GPS memory/SD card.

Thanks!
