I rode the Joseph P. Clarke Rail Trail today and it is now complete all the way up to Blauvelt. (It starts at Oak Tree Rd. between Piermont Rd./Rte. 340 and Rte. 303.) There are still signs at Greenbush Rd, where the trail used to end that says the new section is closed, but it is in fact open and really lovely. When you get to the new end at Western Highway in Blauvelt, just make a left on the sidewalk to get to the pizza place (which also has pasta, salads & wraps) with plenty of seating both inside & out, and Louie's Ice Cream Stand just past the pizza place (with plenty of outside seating).

Confirming it is safe before 12 noon. is that correct?  Taking the first train to Poughkeepsie. Thanks

Hi

I am looking for a ride up to the Berkshires on Friday morning.  If you or anyone you know has space for me and my bike, can you let me know.

Thank you

Those who've tried them can attest -- training rollers are an amazingly fun way to really get fit and master cadence and balance.  Despite how it may appear, surprisingly easy to get used to too.

I think one is available on the Marketplace Forum   ;)

Dear fellow Cyclists,

I will be visiting NCY June 7th-23rd and would really like to fit a ride in. I will not have a bike with me, so I am looking for recommendations for where I can rent a road bike. I can already see a number of rides I could join...the newcomers' one on Sat 9th being ideal - but not sure if I can sort a bike for 8:45am (unless anyone knows a shop open early?).

I'll be bringing all the rest of my kit with me, just need the bike and someone to ride with :-)

Regards,

Matthew Anthony

I know the GFNY is not bike racing; nevertheless, did anyone from the NYCC racing team ride it? (I eschew "compete.") If so, who and how did they do? I know of two club members in their 60s who rode it. Who else did and how did you do?
