Anyone up for doing 50 miles or so in Brooklyn on the weekends before it gets cold?
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to make sure I get lots of rides in before the weather gets cold. I'm doing Escape NY, 65 miles and just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in keeping up that sort of a length of a ride until the weather turns in November. So, I guess I'm seeking riders who might be interested in doing 50+ mile rides through October, starting in Brooklyn and heading out to different places and figuring out interesting rides. Currently, I'm at a 13-15mph pace on a mountain bike with slicks and looking to upgrade to a road bike by spring. If this sounds good to anyone.....the idea of 50+ rides on weekends at that pace, please do contact me and we can set something up.
Thanks and Best,
Jon Pauley
Accidents on 9 today, 09.15.13
Saw the wreckage of two accidents on 9 today. River Road was virtually closed off at the entrance, at about 930am as a dozen police and medical vehicles swarmed the entrance. I saw two officers wheel away two bikes. Don't know if there were others. Not clear if an automobile was involved.
A few hours later, 1130ish, a male in a bmc kit was laying on the shoulder of 9, northbound just south of the Alpine exit from RR. Police were on the scene and he wasn't getting up.
What a mess. I hope all the riders recover soon. If you have any additional information, please post here.
Ride safely!

garmin 810 or 510?
I rarely ever use a cue so not sure if I need GPS Mapping. What are the practical aplications of the 810/800 that you use that the 510/500 does not offer?
Too dumb to ride a bike. And now too dead, too.
I've always thought the Darwin Awards are apocraphyl. You never know who "awards" them. But I was sent a list today of this year's supposed winners--further casting doubt on their legitimacy since there is more than a quarter of the year left to be really stupid. Anyhow, here is--or was--the fifth place winner:
"Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor."
