going to rain....booo......see you Thursday

Due to the weather forecast for tonight and Tuesday the Ridgewood Pancakes for Lunch ride may be canceled. Please check the message board at 8:00 AM on Tuesday Sept. 6 for cancelation notice.

Thank you Pat Mullen for an incredibly beautiful and well run ride yesterday. I highly recommend this very well thought out island hopping journey.  Try it, at least once.

Rockland County's Highway Department periodically spreads loose small stones on the roads up there.  They claim that this extends the road life.  However this year the dissipation of the small stones has been slower than usual since their spreading about three weeks ago.  They still cover the roadway in many places, especially at the intersection of Tweed and Bradley (CR's 5 & 38).  This can be treacherous for cycling, especially on hilly stretches. I hope the stones are gone by the time of my next weekend LoHud ride in early October so we can use those roads.

I rode in the Westchester Cycle Golden Apple on Sunday and had a great ride- the route was beautiful and well marked and there was a marshal everywhere there needed to be. Lots of challenging hills- and homemade ice cream at the end!

Tony - I can't find your email address on the site so if you email me (using the link on the left) I'll send you that ride list we discussed.

cheers,

george
