Planning to head out on Satuday morning from Manhattan, around 8:30 AM. B-15 or so. May go as far as Rockaway....to there, round trip from Manhattan is close to 60 miles.

 

Across the Manhattan Bridge, on to Prospect Park West, along the water under the VZ. Anyone else game?

 

 

 

Ride to Montauk: Friday check-in = later 100 mile start in Babylon?

Submitted by mnoble01 on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 9:21am

Hi - does anyone know the process for starting the 108 mile ride from Babylon if you've checked in the night before? The site says the checkin is 6-7, but if I've checked in can I show up at 8 and still do the ride?  Reason I ask is there are a few trains from Penn that show up in Babylon between 7:30-8. The only train that gets in between 6-7 leaves penn at 4:53!!

Thanks

Matt

Looking for a bike for my 6'5'' friend.

Submitted by Tbird on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 7:15am

Hi everyone...I'm looking for a road bike for a friend of mine who happens to be 6'5''.  None of my local bike shops have bikes for rent or for purchase that would be appropriate for an indiviudal of this size.

Does anyone know where one can buy or rent a bike that would fit my friend?  Or does anyone have a bike of such a size, and would be willing to sell that bike to my firiend?

 

Thank You.

Demonstration this Sunday...Traffic Snarls

Submitted by CWaaser on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 10:07pm

There is to be a demonstration this Sunday afternoon.  Participants will muster on W. 110th St. just above the park and then walk down Fifth Ave. to 79th St.  "...at least 35 buses are expected."  I don't know what time it will start, but word is they don't have a permit, so there's likely to be a police presence. 

Happy Father's Day!!

Does anyone have a favorite cue sheet that they'd like to share? I've found a few in the ride library but I'd be glad for recommendations.

 

Thanks!

No comment except that now we will likely not be able to enjoy watching him perform in Ironman Triathlons in Nice and Kona.

Okay, okay, okay – I’m not going to sit here and allow myself to be dissed by Betsy like that. I hereby announce the "second half of the longest day of the year double 1/2 century". Huh? The what? You had just better show up, Betsy!

Tuesday, 6/19, 5 PM – as in “evening” – at the boathouse. Over the bridge, up River Road, regroup at the top of Alpine Hill (no bathroom stop – just regroup), to 9W, thru Piermont to the Runcible Spoon. 10 minute stop and cruise back on 9W.
