The Elm St. entry to the South County Trailway in Ardsley was obliterated by construction last summer.

After completion of the new Westchester-Sports-something building, a new access to the SC Trailway off Elm Street has been created, just past the new building.

I've scheduled a ride to Greenwood Lake for 8/5. The route goes through Harriman Park. The ride is front-loaded with climbing: the first 23 miles have 3200 feet of climbing in roughly 3 segments.  This is a no-drop ride -- and that also means no dropping me on my own ride. If you're not yet a strong climber, this ride will help if you have the endurance and perseverance. If you are a strong climber, you'll have the opportunity to push yourself then wait for the rest of the group at the top.

Ther's a chance of a little rain this afternoon, so bring your Metrocard in case you want to take the subway home from the Bridge.

Tomorrow's Pedal & Paddle ride is on! We're still meeting at GCT as planned, and taking MN to Noroton Heights Station (the stop before Darien.) The outfitter and I will confer about the weather at 6:30AM tomorrow morning. Should conditions change, I'll post on the Message Board before 7:00 AM.

We may truncate the bicycling route as conditions dictate, but unless there's lightning and thunder and/or heavy rain (we don't go on the water in these conditions,) treat this ride as though you're expecting showers and dress accordingly. So, bring your bike rainwear, Marilyn and I always use bike rain gear for kayaking in inclement weather.

Most noteworthy are the conditions of incarceration.

Westchester Series 2 ride is ON, but weather forecast indicates a chance of getting wet.  So, the ride might be cut short as there are plenty of bail-out locations along route.   Bring your metro-north train pass.  

we're hoping it won't rain.  if it does, we'll bail at lunch on metro north.  it will give us more to kvetch about.  see you at 7:30.

Right now the forecast is decent for the morning, and decent enough for the afternoon. Check the message board in the morning to make sure, but if no posting assume it's a go!

The original weather forecast was for 20% less likelihood of rain on Sunday than on Saturday and 5 degree cooler temperature. So the ride has been changed to Sunday (and since then the predicted rain is now only 10% less likely and the difference in temp. only 2 degrees).

No limits on participants at this late hour, but let me know if you are coming. Use the e-mail icon.

Sunday. 8:30. Boathouse. 60 mile. 18MPH. 6 uphills.
