Hi!

Does anyone have room in their car for my bike, a weekend bag & I? I’m looking for a ride to the Berkshires, ideally leaving post 3 pm on Fri. 25th. I bake good cookies and am happy to chip in for gas $! I’m in Queens but could meet up in the city. For those who don’t know me I’m a co-leader for C4’s with Paul.

Thank you,

Shannon

There was a police car at the Mtn Circle this afternoon. Coming from Rt 6 west (verboten!) I did not want a confrontation and ordered to divert to Cedar Flats/Mott Farm, 9W north to get to Peekskill. Granted we were on mountain bikes. We diverted to 7 Lakes Drive south, taking the first left onto the 1779 Trail going east and south.

I know of the old reliables from the GW bridge north to Nyack - Strictly, 9w Market, Bunberry, Runcible Spoon - but north of the Spoon my knowledge drops off.  Are there any cyclist hangouts in Haverstraw where one can stop, rest, use the bathroom, eat and drink a bit, and not worry about having to lock one's bike?  How about north of Haverstraw, to Jones Point?  (I'm slowly working my way up to Bear.  I've not been at this for long.)

Just in case folks were planning to descend 7 Lakes heading north from Tiorati Circle, you should know that inclement winter conditions have pitted the road with gargantuan craters. Since you may be descending at 30mph, this can be especially treacherous, especially since some of the less perspicuous calderas are lurking near the center of the road toward the end of the descent.

(Not that anyone would illegally cross the highway afterwards to get to Bear.)

Spoke with the supervisor(Chris) of Palisades Parks- at the top of THE HILL-Alpine Police Station(2nd floor is Parks Offices!!!)

Discussed that the southern part was patched and asked about ALL THE POTHOLES-was told they are very busy with OTHER things, but will be TRYING TO GET TO THEM IN THE NEXT WEEK-as Gran Fondo is the 17th

Keep alert until then

Can anyone give me a tutorial on this? I've tried youtube, reading instructions, etc. already. If you can help me, pls email- thanks

Need a Recommendation for an Orthopedic Doctor/Surgeon in NYC for a Friend with a broken foot. Below 14th Street would be ideal. Please advise and thanks

FYI, if you are thinking of dropping down from Riverside Drive to the Greenway using the new bridge at 153rd it is closed. A reopening date is posted. I can't find any online information...but I think the posting indicating reopening in late May.
