We love to cycle on North Country Trail from Tarrytown to Carmel--extremely well maintained
Now I am told the trail is even better above Carmel! Any info or opinions?
Would appreciate any positive info--also car access info from Cuomo or Bear Mtn bridges

All-Class Ride(s)
Once upon a time, almost long ago, NYCC held three (3) All class Rides each year : to Bethpage, toTarrytonw, and to Harriman State Park, and there were no othe rrides scheduled for those days. Now, I understand that \there are other rides posted for Sunday Auig 14. Why? The puprose of the All-Class Rides is that the whole club - A, B, C and whathave you, ride to a common point and picnic together, and afterwards all ride back to CentralPark as a group. Too bad the tradition i not m( maintained'
(I wll be there by Uber.)

A 4 car head-on crash on 303 near Blauvelt caused multiple serious injures last week.
.
It made the local NYC news.

The little bike path on Greenbush south of Bradley is one piece of bike infrastructure I was always happy to use in Rockland county. 303 in both directions was closed for 10 hours as first responders collected evidence after the crash. The surveillance video from across the street showed the cause of the first crash. I got a view of the debris field from the crest of bikepath above the crash side as the last Ambulance raced off.

Important and Very Welcome Addition To Our NYCC Library
I take exception to the club pushing one company's sales promotion as a club event.
I think all bike shops and bike manufacturers and bike component and apparel manufacturers and bike tour operators would be delighted to have the club flag to its members their offering a show-and-tell about themselves and throwing in a ten percent discount to whatever they sell. The club publicizing some one company's sales promotion (a second time yet) to the exclusion of other companies as a club event seems an unfair tilt. (The club went through pretty much the same thing a few years ago as it repeatedly plugged a pop-up shop.) If you put the notice of the event in Marketplace and not flag it with the club imprimateur as a club event, at least that would be more appropriate.
NYCC Race Training Rides??
Anyone know what happened to the listings for the Saturday morning rides?
Are they still running at the usual time, or temporarily suspended or stopped for some reason?
Or just not updated recently...?
