Western Highway status?
Western Highway between Blauvelt and West Nyack was closed post-Ida last fall. Presently, Google is showing it as closed for cars but not for bikes. Does anyone know if it is OK for bikes now?

Late C-Ride listing for Sunday February 27
Peter Storey and I have just posted a C-14 ride to New Bridge Landing for this coming Sunday, February 27. The ride is especially suitable for new members but all are welcome.
New Bridge Landing was an important place to cross the Hackensack River during the American Revolution. The "New Bridge" was erected in about 1887.
