New A ride for Sunday: Up and Over Bear Mountain
Join me for a moderately quick pace ride to the top of Perkins then down the other side of Perkins and back up.
The weather forecast for Sunday is clear and cool. Expect that the temperature at the top of Bear Mountain when we get there will be about 61F, while the temperature at our start at the Eleanor Roosevelt Statue shortly after dawn is 50F. So a day of layers....
In the event it is needed, you can get a train bailout at Spring Valley. Our return route passes very near the station.
Please note:

Sterling Forest Casino--Please Sign
This just came to my attention via the Appalachian Mountain Club. Apparently Sterling Forest State Park is being eyed as a possible site for the development of a casino. Please sign the petition below to speak out against this proposal.
For those not familiar, Sterling Forest is across the road from Harriman and is visited on many of our favorite cycling routes. It also contains some truly beautiful hiking terrain, including a section of the Appachian Trail.
Please note that the deadline for comments is Tuesday, September 30.
Now let's hear from the New York Times about cycling in Central Park
Address to 9/15 Town Hall with Polly Trottenberg
People,
Below is my address to the 9/15 Town Hall with NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. Its themes of personal and collective responsibility unfortunately anticipate what would transpire in Central Park three days later.
