Could this be (partly) using the old Putnam right-of-way?

I haven't seen news of this posted here, so I'd thought I'd mention it:

The DOT has begun a repaving of the eastern half of the drive in Prospect Park.  They started on March 13 and it is expected to take 5 weeks.  They are milling and resurfacing in sections, working overnight, so there is likely to be milled sections during the week for the next 4-5 weeks.

I've learned something interesting about Strava and max heart rate that may interest any Strava users and data geeks like me:

I've been using strava for 4 or 5 years now, and recently I noticed that my max heart rate, which is the basis for effort calculations in their system (I don't have a Power meter) was set at 190bpm, and hadn't budged.

190bpm is the nominal max hr for a 30 year old, by one standard formula.  I'm 57 years old. 

It says on their website that they automatically calculate max hr based on age, but of course one can change it manually.

So --- I wrote them to find out what was going on.

The "Map View" feature on the RideWithGPS website is brand new having been released about two weeks ago, and the RWGPS team is quite excited about it.  It works for both your free and premium personal accounts, and even more recently, for Club Account libraries.  

I focus on our NYCC Ride Library Club Account in this “Map View” demonstration video, but it will also work the same way for your personal accounts.

As for our library, it is made up of hundreds of routes created and submitted by all of you over many years, curated by the librarians, and has no equal as we've discovered looking at many other club account libraries from around the country.  That is because of you, the members.

Hello all, I'm in the process of recovering from multi-level cervical (neck) spine surgery, and was wondering if anyone else has had similar surgery and continued cycling.

I just accidentally withdrew from a ride. I think it would be good if when you withdrawal you get a message "are you sure you want to withdrawal from...."

New cyclist to NYC, looking to do more group rides and possibly get into racing in future. I see pretty much all of the A/B rides require paceline skills and noted "not for inexperienced riders". The SIG would be a perfect opportunity if I didn't work ~50% of weekends...

Any recommendations for learning these skills for someone who can't do SIG? The C-level rides don't seem geared towards someone trying to learn drafting and pacelining skills unless I am off base. 

Thanks for any guidance.

The whole length to the dam:

No snow. Some mud, but not predominantly muddy. However, the bike needed to be washed when home.

Very rideable.
