A friend and I did a Bear ride today -- we're coworkers and company management gave us all the day off -- and this was my first chance to check out the newly-reopened, now paved Jones Point path.

Wow, buttery smooth, so much easier than riding on the shoulder of 9W (significantly uphill and) broadside of it. Some uphill, but not nearly so difficult as the parallel bit of 9W. Great views.

Honestly I think it makes the 9W corridor route my preferred way to get up to Bear now. The Harriman route is messed up 'cause PIPPD doesn't want us doing the connect-7-Lakes-Drive merge-across thing any more? Not a worry, it's no longer my preferrd way to get there anyway.

Hi all. We saw what looked like the D-Sig of the NYCC out on the trails in Alpine, NJ. Welcome!

Don't forget to support the local folks at PalisadesMTB.org that are advocating on the behalf of (dirt) cyclists throughout Bergen County, Rockland County, and Orange County. We're also a local chapter of JORBA, who are advocating throughout the state of NJ. We need cyclist to join our organization and show support for finding more places for cyclists to ride safely while respecting our natural surroundings. 

You can find out more here... https://www.palisadesmtb.org/

Happy Trails! 

Hello all - just a quick note to point that the NYCC Covid ride guidelines have been updated slightly as of the November board meeting.  You should see the change under the ride listings, on the right in the guidelines section.

Please take notice if you're traveling by mass transit or using inside facilities during the current surges in the area.

Have a safe holiday everyone.

I received a 2019 Ride Leader Jacket (XL) that is too large for me. It's brand new has not be used.  If anyone has a large and wants to swap let me know. Thanks. Paul H.

The Jacket has found a new home.
