On Sunday, October 25th, there will be a ride to the 9W Market, open to both members AND non-members. There will be rides for C-13 and C-14, and B-15 through 17. 

The leader team, of twenty (20) experienced NYCC leaders invite all of you reading this message board to come and join us.

as this ride does not use the regular ride submission form so that we could include cyclists that are not yet NYCC members.

I got this route from a friend and did it once before, but slowly.

If anyone wants to do it with me tomorrow, I'm taking the day off while the weather is warm. Meet GCT for 8:46 train. I'd say I'm an A19 rider but it's mostly rollers on gravel so I go slower. I'm using my CX bike with knobbies, which helps a lot. It's only 50 miles but it's maybe equiv to 80 on asphalt.

I'm in need of a photo of the Market on 9W... I want to use it for a little something being put together for Sunday, 10/25... If you should happen to have a photo that I can use on the carousel (opening page of the club website) please reply below... Ideally, the pic would be of the Market itself.

Thanks,

George

should be ready in 2018--I hope I am still alive then to use it! Journal News Oct 12 page 1

Thank you Sabina & Rob for organizing a lovely day on (and off!) the bike. Great route, great company. Your time/efforts are appreciated.

Same time (9:30). Same place (Boathouse). Same curmudgeonly leader. 

I.e., the portion that is closed off to vehicular traffic? The thought has occurred to me many a time, and I was wondering if I should retain my heightened level of vigilance throughout the entire six-mile loop, or if I can let my guard down (even by just a tad) while in the upper half of the park. I am pretty sure I know what the answer is, but nevertheless wanted to see if anyone had any anecdotes or personal experience to share. Mostly, I'd like to avoid 'gotcha' tickets (e.g., I go through a red - not even pausing to Idaho stop - because the coast was clear and an LEO jumps out from behind a bush and pulls me over, etc.).
