Submitted by HSchiffman on Sun, 04/06/2014 - 3:37pm

If someone had posted this, I missed it. It was confirmed verbally by the owner of the Country Deli just off the trailways in Millwood. BTW, they bake great bread.

I took this off the Westchester.gov website:

NOTE:

Lost Fitbit One at GT Saturday Morning 4/5

Submitted by GBedi on Sat, 04/05/2014 - 5:14pm

I lost my Fitbit one, burgundy, in the ladies room at Grant's Tomb approximately 9:15 Saturday morning.  The A Classic riders came into the bathroom as I departed.  I'm hoping against hope that someone found it and picked it up.

Cycling in Tuscany

Submitted by BBehrins on Fri, 04/04/2014 - 6:36pm

Hi. I will be in Tuscany in 2 weeks. Can anyone recommend a bike store or company, perhaps operating out of Florence, where I can rent a good road bike and perhaps ride with a group?  I see tons of advertisements for weeklong bike vacations, but I am just looking for a day rental and a good ride thru the hills. Thanks.
