Anyone subscribe to or ever see a copy of Boneshaker Magazine - an ad-free quarterly published in the UK?  I learned about it here: http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/publication-boneshaker-magazine     It looks pretty cool!

A study is a start -

I was wondering if anyone has a cue sheet for riding out to Montauk from Brooklyn.  Or, do you have a detailed map of a route you have taken?  Thanks!

The new bike lanes (both directions) are completed on Cabrini and 177th St., so we can now be both legal and protected approaching and leaving the bridge.  It's interesting that they put an eastbound bike lane on 177th St. - we now have the choice of turning right and going to Haven or turning left and going up to Ft. Washington. 

NYCC does not permit the posting of evening rides in the park, so consider this the "formal invitation."

Clip in and roll out at 7:30pm Wednesday from the Boathouse for three laps along with a few Harlem Hill Loops mixed in. Followed by beer and burritos on the outdoor patio (indoors if too cold) at Chipotle on 52nd between Lex and Third.

An email stating your intension to participate, while not required, would be welcomed.

I'm looking into arranging an overnight trip next summer, and wanted to try and figure out the general level of interest.

The plan is a two-day trip to traverse the entire Delaware & Raritan Canal Towpath.  The canal route is mostly finely-crushed gravel and some dirt sections.
