Lunch in Haverstraw?

Submitted by CHelfet on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 4:14pm

Deli/sandwich shop recommendations?  Pretty picnic sites, preferably on the water?  I'm heading that way tomorrow, Saturday 23rd, and would love not to have to pedal around town hunting down lunch.

Thanks in advance!

New ride leader vest - women's

Although my new ride leader incentive award vest is a "medium", it's a little "large" for me. Let me know if you have a small and want to swap.

Late B-ride listing for 6/24: Early Sunday Palisades

Submitted by DHudes on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 3:52pm

 

Join me for a morning's group ride to the Palisades Market for coffee via River Road. We'll come back along River Road as well to enjoy the fresh new pavement on Alpine and avoid the question of where to move left for the GWB. At nearly 3000 feet of elevation gain, there is plenty of climbing on this route. We will undoubtedly spread out some on climbs; where we do, we will regroup where it levels off.  We will return back to the start by noon.

Reporting Aggressive Drivers

Submitted by MHanson on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 9:11am

I was riding South on Fort Washington Ave when I got run off the road yesterday by a driver turning onto the GW bridge at 179th St. from Fort Washington.  I managed to get their plate number, but not the make of the SUV.  Is it worth reporting this driver?  Has anyone ever bothered to report an aggressive driver, and what was the outcome of reporting them?

Lost eyeglasses on the Brooklyn Bridge!

Submitted by AHendin on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 6:02am

I find this difficult to believe, but I suspect I somehow managed to, stupidly, leave my regular eyeglasses out of a protected space, on my bike, while cycling home Tuesday afternoon. I heard a clatter at some point, possibly past the halfway point heading for Brooklyn, before the southern anchorage, but when I stopped I didn't find any open pockets in my gear as I once did a couple of years ago, and it didn't occur to me that I could have left my freakin' GLASSES on my freakin' RACK, or, if I had done something so completely incomprehensible, that they could possibly have hung on from 91st St. When I got home and didn't find them I figured I must have left them at work. Disaster! Idiotic fried brain! HELP!
