Elmsford missing link in South and North County Trailways to be completed
At the dedication of the newest section of the South County Trailway last week, Westchester County Exec Astorino announced that the county is purchasing necessary easements and will soon begin design of the last remaining piece ....presently a nasty section that takes cyclists off the path and through industrial Elmsford.

Need help planning a ride
I have entered a new ride plan onto www.mapmyride.com It is listed as, 'Princeton to New Hope' and provides the route for a ride I have done myself a couple dozen times in years gone past.
I need some help working out the hundreds of other details, which include taking NJTransit from Penn Station to Princeton Junction, and riding to the Borough (not sure this would be a good idea as roads into the Borough are a bit treacherous), or taking the Dinky connector train from Princeton Junction into the Borough; but this might be tricky as the Dinky is only one or 2 cars and might be cramped with a bunch of bikes.
Also, I have never lead a ride before, so I will need to enlist the aid of an experienced co-leader.

"Five Boro Bike Race"
Saw a link (titled "Scratchbread Makes Protein Bars for 5 Boro Bike Race") on one of my daily reading blogs that led to this:
Bed-Stuy bakery SCRATCHbread offers cyclists cheesy treat at race - NY Daily News
The "race" is the TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour, of course
Let's all laugh for a second at the idea that everyone who doesn't ride bikes much thinks that everything we do is a race.
