Within the next 18-24 months, we should see the opening of the shared use path across the new "Mario Cuomo" (Tappan Zee) Bridge. They are conducting a survey to get an idea how the path will be used. You can fill it out at http://www.newnybridge.com/shared-use-path-surveyproject-team-seeks-input-on-path-usage/. Think about what a boon this will be - you could actually ride up to Nyack or Rockland Lake without using the GWB! Or you could do a long ride up the west side of the Hudson and then cross the bridge to take the train home from Tarrytown. Lots of interesting possibilities.

Richard is one of a dozen or so A and B ride leaders who have responded to my request that A and B leaders lead one C ride this year. He is the first to actually do it, today (I only sent out the request about a week ago so this is not meant to reflect on others -- yet).

The ride itself was great. The route was just right for C riders with maybe just a teeny bit extra. The group followed the example set by its leader and rode with skill and a really good sense of group riding discipline. As a result we all had a good time (I was on the ride).

Thanks to Richard -- it's guys like you who make us a club and not just a bunch of cyclists.
