I'm finally pulling the trigger on a custom titanium bike. After a lot of research, I've decided to go with No. 22 - locally made and I really liked the access to the founders of the company during the research phase.

So how is it now? Is the stretch from the end of the F train back to your ride start at Civic Virtue (you know what I mean - the junction with Union Tpke) rideable now? Several years ago we planned a back way over safe streets -- do we still need to use the back way?

GFNY Training and prep - anyone else prepping for May?

Submitted by neil_e_whitfiel... on Mon, 02/17/2025 - 4:34pm

Bit of a multi-part question here so aplogies if this isn't the place.

Skippable backstory:
I graduated the B-18 Sig a few years back but have been off the bike for a while. I'm 48 and a few pounds the wrong side of 200. For some insane reason me and my brother-in-law have signed up for the GFNY (I've done it twice and have rolled home in the final thousand). And thanks to this awful weather, I am already behind in my preparation. 

So...

I want to do a pretty robust 12-week training program starting March 1, with the aim to be ready to go on May 18th.

My questions:
