Metro North
Hoping to confirm this. Bikes are not just allowed on weekends but anytime that is off-peak, which for a New Yorker City resident would be a.m. weekday train heading North to Pougkeepsie or Coming Home from Pougkeepsie in the p.m.
Hoping to do another ride out by New Paltz and like the fact that there's an earlier train heading out than on the weekends. Anybody done this? I'd hate to get stuck.

Backroads or Bicycle Adventures
I am planning on cycling the Banff-Jasper route with either Bicycle Adventures or Backroads in August. They have similar trips scheduled; Bicycle Adventures is slightly less expensive. Does anyone have any thoughts about the difference between the two companies in general, please, or - for that route specifically if anyone has cycled on that trip? Are there any other companies I should also look at? Any thoughts much appreciated. [I have posted this same question on the Club Facebook page, FYI]

Irv Schacter piece in July 3 Wall St Journal page A15--photo doesn't look like Irv to me
I don't remember Irv ever smoking a pipe, with glasses, etc. Lots of mention of NYCC--July 5 tribute, Christy quote, etc. Anyway, I consider Irv and Hindy good NYCC friends and he is missed!
