IT's wet but do-able. Ride on.

I'm going to be in Ireland for about a week in July and would love to get in some riding. Does anyone have suggestions for either road or (easy) mountain biking?

I've read about this 42km rail trail that looks interesting: http://www.greenway.ie/Trail-MN-01.html but other thoughts are welcome.

I have received a few phone calls asking whether the weekend is happening.  The answer is a solid YES!  This weekend has never been cancelled; we don't let the forecast of rain stop us.  Pack layers since the forecast ranges from high 30s to low 70s.  If someone forgets their sunscreen, then it will be sunny.  If we all pack rain gear, it won't rain.  Whatever the weather, we are going to have a great time!  See you all in the Berkshires.

Late notice but, given the forecast, I've decided to drive up Friday morning at this point and maybe ride up there (i.e. from Sheffield) on the off-chance the weather has cleared.

In case anyone is  interested, I have room for two other passengers in the car (I can take three total including myself).

Hi.  New member here.

Is anyone here a cyclist from Queens?  I'm looking to perhaps lead some rides in the Queens area but I want some experience riding with a group first.

Come join the WCC for a great Memorial Day ride from Cold Spring Metro North Station!  We call it "Two Bridges for Memorial Day": In honor of the day, we will visit significant sites and scenic sights alike as we ride through this famous area of our region, filled with history of this country's eventful and fateful fight for freedom.  Arrive by 8:30 to leave at 8:45 (as not to interfere with the parade).

We just decided to change the route because of the bad weather forecast for tomorrow.  We'll be catching the 6:03am train to Wassaic and doing a shorter, easier route to Sheffield/Great Barrington in the Berkshires.  Please see ride listing for the details.

NYC Parks made a detailed presentation of its rationale for the hybrid paved-dirt treatment which includes considerable environmental remediation.  Rich Conroy and I joined a roughly even mix of community and cyclist-wheelchair speakers.  NY Roadrunners President Mary Wittenberg spoke *against* the Parks proposal, favoring a 100% crushed stone solution.  Committee finally voted 3 yes, 3 no, 2 abstain on a resolution favoring the Parks proposal.  The proposal goes to full CB8 in June.  All these votes are advisory.  Parks can proceed regardless.

Hello All,

We are not able to go to the Berks due to an unexpected medical situation, and have an available room at the historic Wainwright Inn in downtown Great Barrington.  Breakfast is included.  The inn is a favorite of the club members, and is within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops.  It is also a close ride to high school (for A&B riders), and down the street from the Day's Inn (for B&C riders).  It's rated as the best inn in town by several site including TripAdvisor, and the proprietors are very friendly and accomodating -- we've stayed there for the past 4 years and can vouch to that.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to arrive in the Berkshires with a bike?  So far I am dependent on good weather to be able to get there.  That may not be happening.  If you are driving and have space for a person and a bike, I'd certainly be only to happy to share expenses.
