Monday noon ride Froking Our Way to Piermont
Hi folks,
Douwe and I are doing a perambulating ride to Piermont, replete with a maple-bacon donut stop and oodles of hills to metabolize the porcine pastries....
However the link is temporarily malfunctioning, telling us that the ride has already happened.... This has prevented a few people from signing on (and has made a few people return to their Cartesian mode of reality-questioning).
So just know that the ride is on, and we hope that the glitch will be fixed before the ride actually (not virtually) occurs.

Free carbon bike
Hi old friends and new...I'll be in NYC the last week in November. Help me empty a smallish storage locker on the West side and my 24 inch (fairly large) carbon Specialized Roubaix Elite is yours, along with some other sports equipment. Of course, you could also sell the stuff. Vehicle helpful but probably cab or 2 will do. Bike is 7 years old but in great shape, not ridden in 2 years. All Ultegra components, Ksyrium wheels. If I had the time, I would distribute the stuff to Recycle-a-Bicycle and Housing
Works, but I just won't have time. [email protected]
RIP Danny Lieberman. We will miss you.
Found out this moring that Danny Lieberman passed away last night.
Danny got me started in club riding in '97. I showed up to the 5BBC Brooklyn Perimeter ride, had a great time, and was forever hooked on cycling.
Thank You Danny. We will miss you.
It turns out you regularly ride through the 2nd most expensive ZIP code in the U.S.
"It" used to be #1. This year "it" dropped to #2 (replaced, uh, by, umm, ahhh, my ZIP code). Where is this? Why, Alpine, NJ. As in above River Road. Who'd a thunk it?
I quote from Forbes: This is the fist time that a Big Apple neighborhood has topped our list. It pushed 2011's pricient ZIP code, Alpine, N.J. 07620 to No. 2. Alpine is a discreet New York City suburb where the median home price is $5.75 million, street addresses are regularly scrambled on GPS and residents include celebrities like Stevie Wonder and Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Henry Hudson Dr (aka River Road) - closed by the MS bike ride?
Does anyone know if River Road will be open Sunday morning (the 21st) during the MS bike ride?
The MS rest stop at the Engelwood boat basin opens at 8:15 so I would guess River Road will be open until about 8 am. Anyone know for sure?
Walnut Street in Englewood NJ now open
FYI .. Bottom (most western end) of Walnut St (between Lyedecker and Hillside) in Englewood is now paved and open for travel :)

Tarrytown - Poughkeepsie (via Old Indian; Foliage Ride)
If you've missed one of the other foliage rides, are still looking for one to do this Saturday, and you can handle an A19-20 pace for ~75 miles, come join us for a ride to the Old Indian Ridge from Tarrytown Saturday morning. This listing went up this morning, so (obviously) you wouldn't have seen it as an option prior to today. The node can be found at:
NPR: Instead of Surgery, Man Pedals Off the Pounds
Great recent NPR story about a man's weight-loss efforts, and a cycling community's embrace of him:
