Good thing the regular braking system still works. The "volunteer's" knees are probably not feeling good today.

[edit]: note that it's standard equipment to not rear end other cars. You have to pay extra to get the pedestrian detection system.

Hi Everyone,

I found the route in the link below in the ride library and was wondering if everyone would think this is a safe and feasable route to do as a solo ride tomorrow as I've never been on any of the roads past Schraalenburgh.

Hello all,

I am looking to take someone on their first century ride.  I would like to be somewhere scenic, like north of Cold Spring or up past Poughkeepsie.  However, since this is their first century, I was hoping to not throw 8,000 ft of climbing at them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

People,

I'm on to lead a B16+ group out of Babylon.  Notes:

- Adjusting for head-tail winds, we will keep to a disciplined 16-17 mph pace for the duration. I will ask all of you who can to take turns pulling.

- As I'm leading an early ride in Staten Island on Sunday, I absolutely-positively need to be on the 5:35PM out of Montauk.  So this group will not take a sit-down lunch. Rather we will be keeping all food-bio stops to 15-30 minutes.  Bring lots of energy bars.

- It's not a difficult cue, but I will have it prepped on Garmin and printed cue.
