A friend and I are coming into Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry.  He’s agitated because he’s running late for a dance recital.  

His plan was to get up to World Trade Center PATH by 3:00.  Hoboken by 3:30.  Shower-change and PATH back over to Manhattan by 5:00. 

But it’s already 3:30 and PATH is closed to bikes for the evening rush.  

It seems to be official now that Froome will lead Team Sky on the Tour while Wiggins is supposed to make do with the Giro. There was also quite a bit of back and forth between the wives and girlfriends. I have, probably unsuccessfully, posted the link below.

I think it's been a while since there was this obvious discord between two contenders on the same team. Probably Lemond/ Hinault.

Two items of interest for those looking:

(1) Parry House

Parry House - a B&B at 73 South St in Great Barrington (in town so no car necessary) - has three rooms available as of today, when I spoke to Roberta. Great continental breakfast (but not cooked).

I've stayed in all three rooms in the past - it's a low-key, friendly, centrally-located B&B run by Roberta Parry who, if you happen to need it, will also be happy to officiate at your wedding. 

Room #1 $95 shares bathroom with #2.

Room #2 $95 shares bathroom with #1.

Room #3 $135 ahs private bathroom and balcony.

Does anyone have a bike rack that they would be willing to lend out for memorial day weekend (I am happy to pay for borrowing too :))? I already have a rack for 2 bikes, but have 4 people coming so hoping to not have to buy another rack.

It is for a Mercedes '98 c class sedan. 

Thanks! Lauren

I just finished the B-Sig-16 and did decently well on the hills of Harriman and Bear Mountain. How much harder is the Gran Fondo NY? 

A lot of broken glass this morning.

Looking for a room (bed) in a house for Memorial Day weekend in the Berkshires for one male - me. :)  Anyone looking for a housemate?

Hey Everyone!  Could use some bike travelling advice here -

I'm travelling to Provence this July to partake in a cycling tour in the area - and I was wondering - can anyone offer advice on travelling/shipping a bike over?  Seems like it might be quite a hassle to carry a bike around on a plane or by train - so I'd like to hear what other people have done in terms of riding overseas with their bike.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'd certainly be open to them.  Thanks in advance!

Offering many thanks (and a round or two of the beverage of your choice, if you like) in exchange for suggestions/route maps/cue sheets etc for three-four 60mi-80mi routes in the Siena region of Tuscany.
