South County Trail condition between Hartsdale and Elmsford

Submitted by mhsimkin on Sun, 09/12/2021 - 3:13pm
I rode the South County trail this morning to/from Elmsford on my road bike with 25c tires.  However, I didn’t quite make it to Elmsford.  There are two issues:
 
1) There is approximately 1 mile that is dirt.  This starts just after the wood planked bridge by the Great Hunger Memorial.  It has not really rained for the last few days, so the dirt was rideable, just slowly.  I expect that this section will be paved at some point between now and November.  I don’t know when.  I don’t know if they are waiting for a nice long stretch of dry weather to let the remaining mud dry before being paved or if they are still working on fixes.
 

Caution on the bottom of Clausland Mountain Road

Gravel spread on the bottom of Clausland Mountain Road for approximately 1/2 mile by the local DPW, if you are climbing, it is annoying, if you are descending, it is dangerous.

ENY 65 mile gravel route scout ride?

Submitted by GrittyCityKitty on Fri, 09/10/2021 - 5:29pm
Greetings! I see that there are a few scout rides for the ENY routes but none for the 65 mile gravel ride. Anyone inspected in leading one or has access to the route info so I can scout the route on my own? Thanks!

Cannondale Synapse Carbon Seatpost KP102, Seat clamp will not tighten

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Wed, 09/08/2021 - 10:26am

A friend's Cannondale Synapse with a KP102 seatpost has a seat clamp that will not tighten. Apparently replacement parts or replacement seatposts are not available. He reports that the aluminum sleeve that the seat-locking mech. fits into, that should be stationary, is rotating.

The NYCC is not the 5BBC

Submitted by KJohnson on Tue, 09/07/2021 - 3:12pm

I’ve been extremely disappointed in what I’ve observed on recent NYCC club rides. I haven’t seen a bicycle with a kickstand yet … but I’m worried the day is coming! For the most part the NYCC is a semi-competitive, road cyclist club. The 5BBC is a noncompetitive recreational bike club. We cycle, they go on bike rides. I’d like to share some thoughtful opinions and advice for NYCC cyclists. If you want to look like a cyclist here are some tips:
