Does anyone know if the mountain/gravel trails are open at the Scout Camp in Alpine, NJ?

Hudson Terrace southbound is closed for construction

Submitted by jzisfein on Thu, 01/26/2023 - 6:48pm

There's a big hole and lots of construction equipment. At Sherwood Ave you have to go over to 9W then return to Hudson Terrace at Bayview Ave.

Alternatively, you could avoid 9W by taking Summit St and back roads to Myrtle Ave. I will be going this way on Sunday's ride to Cresskill. Scenic but hilly and with 1 short flight of stairs.

The ride is a "go."

Help with wireless provider ...

Submitted by NWeissman on Sat, 01/21/2023 - 4:13pm

Last week, after years of using AT&T, I switched to Spectrum—who resells the Verizon wireless network. The cost is significantly lower because I already have Spectrum at home, but I've gotten more "no connection to the internet" episodes in one week than in ten years with AT&T.  This is mostly New York City use with an excursion out to Farmingdale.  

So now I'm strongly considering going back to AT&T.  I don't do much data streaming, but coverage—particularly out in the boonies—is paramount.

Has anyone done a bike fit at Ride Brooklyn? Other bike fit referrals?

Submitted by adamaston on Sat, 01/21/2023 - 2:52pm

Hi all, I'm hunting to refresh my bike fit. Among some options I'm considering is the fitting service at Ride Brooklyn on Bergen in Park Slope. My favorite LBS for routine service -- great staff, fair prices,  community oriented, comfortable working on high end road bikes. Link to their bike fit offering below.

Curious if anyone has tried a bike fit there? Also seeking other referrals for a bike fit, if you have anyone you'd recommend I consider.

Thanks for your thoughts.

accessing Hudson River Greenway from W 79th

Submitted by HBorgeson on Thu, 01/19/2023 - 10:11am

This morning I tried to get to the greenway, north-bound, from W 79th. I thought I was following bike detour signs, but I ended up on very bad pavement and then encountered multiple flights of stairs. What's the preferred route?

Century rides

Submitted by David Regen on Mon, 01/16/2023 - 9:20pm

I'm looking to do 2 or 3 century rides in 2023 and I'm looking for recommendations. Yes, I know about the Grand Fondo, it's on my list, but I'm also hoping to find centuries in New England and maybe down south. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Is it permissable to ride a bike on this trail in Harriman?

Submitted by Michael Tapp on Sun, 01/15/2023 - 5:59pm

Is it allowed to ride a bike on the trail that starts at mile 3.5 on this route? 

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12885266

I am asking because I have heard that you can't ride bike on trails in Harriman. And it is enforced. 

On sattelite view it def looks like a hiking trail. Any intel will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

 

Bar accessory doohickey questions

Submitted by isaacb on Sun, 01/15/2023 - 12:34pm

Hi:

My cycling saga's latest episode is a new (to me) road bike. The drop bar does not leave me enough space for the accessories I've grown accustomed to from my flat bar bikes; Garmin, headlight, bag, bell, camcorder. See picture below (headlight is under the Garmin.)
