Is out of commission (as of Sunday 4/15) for the foreseeable future.  It has a sign and a heavy bolt on the door. The water fountain and "W" is still operational.

Have a backup plan for your group dehydration regiments.

Last year I was able to find a Garmin file for the route.  This year I can only find a cue sheet without any uploadable file.  Does anyone have a route file for this year's Gran Fondo or can direct me to it's location, if any?  Thanks!

Hello,

It's about time to start planning for Memorial Day weekend! My wife and I have a simple but comfortable house on a beautiful, secluded property to rent for the Berkshires weekend - and other week/weekends year round. It's located in Hillsdale, NY close to the intersection of Route 22 and 23 (about 10 miles from the base of Bash Bish) and would be a perfect location for cyclists coming up for the Berkshires weekend.

Anyone ever parked their beater bike outside of the new Yankee Stadium while watching a game? I'm heading up there tonight and am considering locking my bike to a street sign, etc. I think that the folks at the stadium will probably not let me bring in my helmet, which is my biggest concern.

Any thoughts on locking up a bike and helmet out front of the stadium for 3 hours? Alternatives, other than mass transit?

Thanks!

Hi, anyone reccomend one, thanks
