A plow or other large vehicle took the entire curb (steel and all) away from the concrete squares which make up the curb we go up/down when entering/exiting the GWB ped. path on the NY side.  The authorities have been alerted, but PLEASE be careful!  There is barely enough room for one person to safely enter onto the sidewalk.  Take an extra minute and be curteous to others exiting!

We are holding the C-SIG Classification Ride today as planned.  Please arrive at 10:30.  It will be quite chilly, so dress in layers, wear warm gloves, use toe warmers in your shoes or booties over them, and if you have one, wear a balaclava to cover your head, neck & face.  See the clothing chart for more on this: https://nycc.org/sites/default/files/Clothing%20and%20Accessories.pdf.

Try in so far as possible to arrive by subway to avoid cycling on city streets.  We know the park drive is clear and rideable, but city streets are in various states and some may be hazardous for riding.

Due to messy road conditions and problems with the bike path on the GWB, we are revising our plans for tomorrow.

We will meet at the Boathouse in Central Park (roughly 74th Street on the Central Park drive) at 10:30 AM. We will have an extended class, and then the individual groups will ride laps together. We understand that the Park Drive is clear and rideable. On the other hand, we also understand that many of the city streets are still problematic. Therefore, if you don't feel comfortable riding, or if you find the streets near you unsafe, that's fine. If you can still join us for the class, that would be great and probably beneficial. 

Does anyone have a report on the condition/rideability of the QBB Bike/Ped Path.. ??

Canceled. We hope to see everyone next week!

Does anyone know if the Central Park Drive is rideable at this point (Saturday afternoon, 18 March)?

Ice? or well cleared?

Experiencing a high degree of cabin fever, but I don't want to kill myself trying to do a circuit or two of the Park, either!

Thanks, Jim

Hi everyone. Please write to the Port Authority of NY and NJ asking why the bike path hasn't reopened. Yesterday was in the 40s so any residual ice should have melted. And tomorrow should be a beautiful day and I'm sure many of us would like to ride. 

Rescheduled for Sunday at playground just north of Grant's Tomb on Riverside Drive (124th Street) Be there at 9:30. 

Out of an abundance of caution, the ride is canceled. 

Hope to see everyone next week,

Nick + the A-STS Leaders

Postponed until Sunday.
