GWB South path closure this Friday pm and Sat am- SEPARATE FROM THE GFNY CLOSURE ON SUNDAY
We have been advised by the Port Authority that due to construction on Temporary Bridge 78 Span over Hudson Terrace, the GWB South Bike/Pedestrian Path will be closed starting Friday, May 20th at 10 pm until 10 am Saturday, May 21; the north bike/pedestrian path will be open. THE NORTH PATH REQUIRES YOU TO WALK UP AND DOWN 171 STEPS, LOCATED ON 6-8 STAIRCASES AT BOTH NJ NORTH AND NYC NORTH ENTRANCES. Plan alternate routes if you are not inclined to shoulder your bike.
50 mile route suggestion for Sunday
Any suggestions about a good 50 mile route away from GFNY that goes starts by either Cold Spring, Garrison or Peekskill and stays on that side of the Hudson.
More ideas from accross the pond.. Cyclist light priority..

Looking for an UWS Tandem Rider
Hi All!
My name is Sheena -- I'm a blind bike enthusiast looking for partners willing to do Tandem biking with me. I live on the UWS, but am game to go anywhere! Please email or call me anytime for us to figure something out.
Thanks!
Clove Platte Rd, aka Devil's Kitchen
I was unofficially requested to give my impression on ascending Devil’s Kitchen, officially known as Clove Platte Rd. There is a NYCC ride up it planned. Certainly others can bring more to the table, but I'm happy to share what I know. As a disclaimer, I’ve only done it perhaps 3 times; some racers do it multiple times in a single race. Perhaps I was asked because I am a veteran of Mt Washington, having a great day in the first Newton's Revenge. I believe I've done it every year since 2001, even getting in the practice ride the year it was canceled. I'm almost as old the the mountain itself.
Looking for a good bike shop in Manhattan for eTap tuning
Looking for a bike shop based in Manhattan that really knows how to setup eTap systems. I've got a slight issue with my front derailleur not shifting perfectly. Many of the bike shops I've encountered so far don't have a lot of experience or expertise with eTap and aren't very helpful. I've read online that it's a very precise setup so I'm looking for a bike shop that really knows what they're doing with this. Thanks a lot!
Berkshires weekend: Seeking one or two riders to share a zipcar from Manhattan
Greetings,
I have a zipcar reservation from 3 PM Friday the 26th through 3 PM Monday the 29th, in uptown Manhattan. It's a Jeep Renegade, which should hold up to three people and bikes (wheels off). I can get a rear rack too, just in case.
It's gonna run about $500, so I'd be happy to cost-share with one or two others.
