Firstly it was a great time!  Thanks Jerry and Antonia for leading!  

Unfortunately my phone died just as I got home, so I lost all the yummy Strava route data.  If anyone Strava'd the ride, can you let me know if I could get your Strava handle, follow you and review the route?  Still learning, and it really helps!  Email me at [email protected] - thanks!

I'm headed to Poughkeepsie next weekend to take a friend on a ride. He's not used to long distances, so I was thinking we'd do Poughkeepsie > Beacon > Newburgh > Poughkeepsie. Since I don't have time to scout, I have a few questions.

1) What are the road conditions like? Generally decent on both sides? I've ridden 9D from Bear Mtn Bridge to Cold Spring - is it similar?

2) Is there any preference for what direction we go in? I'm planning to use the Walkway Over the Hudson and the Newburgh Bridge. It looks like a simple hills first vs hills last question, but I'd be interested to know if there's anything else I should consider.

All,

I am heading to Vermont to pick up my daughter from camp next weekend, and will have enough time to head out for a ride. Her camp is in Weston, but anything in the area will be fine (Ludlow, Chester).  I'm looking for a 50-100 mile route, including some hills (shouldn't be too hard to find in VT).  You can send Strava links, Map My Ride, Google Maps, whatever.  

Thanks in advance!

Police parked there pulling you over for not making full stop at stop sign. They are giving tickets to everyone. 

The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey announced on August 15 that it will begin providing shuttle service for pedestrians and bicyclists who wish to cross the Bayonne Bridge. This free service will operate Friday-Sunday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

If you have one, please email to me at [email protected] ASAP! Thanks

There's been talk on other threads of an NYCC clubhouse at an "undisclosed location," but it sounds like Rapha has one in the works, for which it now seeks three staffers: http://www.rapha.cc/work-at-rapha#job26

I have my eye on the "New York Cycle Club - Barista" job. Many thanks to the NYCC board for forging this exciting partnership!
