NYCC Labor day weekend in Poughkeepsie

Submitted by MBaker on Sun, 08/12/2018 - 5:53pm

Hope you can join us in Poughkeepsie for Labor day weekend. I've rented a great house from Saturday til Monday. House is less then a mile from the Hopewell Junction rail trail and the walkway over the Hudson. 

Tentative plan for the weekend: Day 1: 2 bridges ride (~44 miles, 2700 ft). Lunch at Tito Sanatana Taqueria. Afternoon swim (pool in house)

Day 2: Bike to Rhinebeck, lunch at Bread alone (mainly flat ride, ~30 miles). Afternoon swim or trip to mansion or ARTOMI. Dinner at Local111 in Philmont.

Day 3: Swim, then bike the rail trail. 

There are plenty of things to do in the area, and the roads are so bike friendly! 

All rides will be posted on the listings. B 15-17 pace, we'll accomodate other speeds too! 

PIP Alpine Ranger Station Hours

Does anyone know the hours for the ranger station?  I'm thinking about trying to do Henry Hudson Drive/River Road one morning before heading to work.  I just would either need to refill my water bottles at the ranger station or make sure I carry extra.

Thanks

Well, discretion is the better part of valor. The forecast is just too daunting, so we’re canceling. Look for a reschedule later in the month.

Submitted by JBlackburn on Sat, 08/11/2018 - 6:55pm

Too much uncertainty in weather forecast.  Ride is rescheduled for Sunday September 16.

So sorry but the weather forecast for tomorrow is miserable.

Please join us on one of our future Welcome rides - 8/19, 8/25 etc.

The big three from the Lance era can't seem to stay out of trouble. That's excluding Landis and Hamilton.

Morning Tickets en route to GWB

Submitted by ckulesh on Fri, 08/10/2018 - 12:48pm

This morning we had a group of 6 meeting at GWB for pre-work River Road.  We meet at the bridge, so folks were riding up separately.

Out of 6 riders, two (!) received tickets this morning on Fort Washington Blvd - mind you, this was between 5:45AM and 6:00AM.  From the description, seems like it was one undercover car that was doing the tickets. 

(Meanwhile, the yo-yo's who climbed around the locked gate onto the GWB suffered no penalty, except an eye-roll by the PA worker who saw them as he approached to remove the lock....they saved themselves about 90 seconds....just sayin')
