B-STS RAINOUT! No ride tomorrow or Sunday

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Fri, 05/11/2018 - 2:21pm

Ugggh! Rain is now in the forecast all weekend, despite the forecast being mostly clear all week for our ride time.

Sending this notice early so that everyone can get enough advance notice to make good use of the time you're getting back...

Otherwise we'll hopefully see you next week for the final ride of the series on May 19...

S'bucks toilets for all!!

Harriman SP ride from NYC

Submitted by MarkDolan31 on Thu, 05/10/2018 - 9:32pm

Hi, I want to this ride this weekend. Have heard it is quite a popular route. Just wondering if people think it is a good ride to do from Manhattan? Also if anyody has a link to a route I would really appreciate it, can't seem to find one in the ride library. Many thanks!

Apologies if I'm not looking hard enough, but trying to find a ride in the library with an out & back to Bear Mountain starting near GWB.

Would appreciate any recommendations, including rest stops/rest rooms, etc.

Many thanks

John
