Right now I have basically 4 rides that I do.  

-Henry Hudson Drive to 9w to Piermont and back via 9w

-Bike Route 9 to Bear and back

-Bike Route 9 to StonyPoint deli returning via Buckberg Mtn /Gate/South Mountain Strawtown etc

-Clausland Tweed to Mainstreet returning via Piermont Road

What's a good additional route staying in Rockland County. I prefer including some decent climbs and would like to keep my rides under 100 miles.  Any ideas? RidewithGPS links appreciated.

We need someone to step forward to plan the rides out to West Point, rides for Saturday at West Point, and returning home on Sunday.  We have many cues and routes from prior years, so it should be a fairly straightforward task.  Kindly respond, if interested, to [email protected].

for example - how do I compare 90 miles with 7500 feet of climbing to 120 miles with 2500 feet of climbing?

Assume round trip...ie no net climbing for either ride.

... in the Sheepshead Bay area... a young woman at work is looking to pick up a bike (must be my fine example!)... she's interested in Trek (Verve) and Giant (Rove 3) "fitness" models... she's a "newbie" and a shop that would take good care of her would go a long way.

Thanks in advance,

George

Metro-North Kills Their Last Bar Cars

A bit of levity in this otherwise sad story: "The bar cars have been something of a unicorn for many Metro-North riders."
