House available for Berkshires weekend

Submitted by cchaput on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 6:23pm

Hello,

It's about time to start planning for Memorial Day weekend! My wife and I have a simple but comfortable house on a beautiful, secluded property to rent for the Berkshires weekend - and other week/weekends year round. It's located in Hillsdale, NY close to the intersection of Route 22 and 23 (about 10 miles from the base of Bash Bish) and would be a perfect location for cyclists coming up for the Berkshires weekend.

Anyone ever parked their beater bike outside of the new Yankee Stadium while watching a game? I'm heading up there tonight and am considering locking my bike to a street sign, etc. I think that the folks at the stadium will probably not let me bring in my helmet, which is my biggest concern.

Any thoughts on locking up a bike and helmet out front of the stadium for 3 hours? Alternatives, other than mass transit?

 

Thanks!

pacific coast bike trip this summer

Submitted by ztaxin on Sun, 04/15/2012 - 3:23pm

Hello fellow NYCCers!

I am taking off some time this summer to do the PCH bike trip.  It is one of the most beautiful trips in the world (so I've heard), and is super easy to navigate.  I'm planning on camping and I have a tent and all that jazz.  I'm happy to do the trip alone, but thought it would be fun to train and/or go with some other enthusiasts.  My dates are tentative--mid June to early August.  I have to be back by August 5th for a wedding, so I'm planning on doing a mid-summer thing.  I won't be free until June 15th to start.

The PCH trip is roughly 1500 miles, which is only 50 miles a day for 30 days.  Not too shabby!
