Die Hards 4,5 and 6: routes and holiday schedules.
Submitted by HWoods on Thu, 12/15/2011 - 11:49am
In the interest of giving a little more time to plan holiday ride schedules, here's what we'll be doing for the next 3 weeks:
1) Sat 12/17--We're going climbing. 29 miles, no lunch stop. Using Tim McCarthy's saucy local NJ cue sheet called "Dead Presidents" we'll climb to stay warm and get a really solid hill workout in before the holidays. It's a climb at your own pace and regroup at the top kind of thing. Plan a relatively early return, the cue sheet is in the ride library.

BarMitts
Submitted by EWeiss on Tue, 12/13/2011 - 7:39pm
On Sunday I did a ride up Gate Hill to Lake Welch with my Rockland buddy Bob and we used BarMitts for the first time. The starting temp. on Sunday was about 30 and windy. The BarMitts are neoprine mittens that easily slide over the hoods of your handle bars and are fastoned with two velcro closures. They are easliy installed and removed. They have them for Shimano, Campy and SRAM (the same for both) and for mountain bikes (straight across bars) and come in small, medium and large. You can use thin long finger gloves inside the BarMitts. I used the Assos Early Winter gloves with the Assos thin liners, inside the BarMitts. You can take your hands in and out of the BarMitts easily while riding.
