Berkshire Weekend Information Packet

Cue Sheets for Berkshire Weekend

Hi all,

I'd like to get from the GWB to City Island at around 10:00 on a Saturday.

What bridge do you recommend? 207th or 181?

Fordham Rd to Pelham Parkway?

Thanks in advance,

-Erica

I was thinking of taking the metro north as close as possible and then riding to Sheffield Saturday... Sunday and Monday are looking nice so we could still get some riding in then.

A traveler emailed me with this question... I figured it's best to post it here because I'm not certain of the most comfortable route from Summit to Fort Lee. Considerations:

* This is at the end of a very long journey, so a route that avoids hills is probably better than a route that charges directly up them.

* There isn't a time requirement stated here, so if the route is a little roundabout, that's ok.

* "Safe" seems to be a big factor here. Unfortunately the direct line from Summit to Fort Lee has a lot of towns with dense urban traffic. 

Thursday morning's ride is officially cancelled.  That said, if the roads are dry at 5AM, Christy and Jackie will (unofficially) be at 5:45 at Engineers Gate.

Whatever you choose to do, have a great weekend of riding and we'll see you next week!

Not sure when, but have heard that access will be limited at some point.

The weather forecast is bad.  See you next week.
