After one of the worst winters in Berkshires history, the battered and beaten Bash Bish has been mostly repaved. The worst part was the switch-backs and those were done first. Now it's as smooth as glass and sports freshly painted lane lines. Hitting one of the 4" deep potholes at 5 or so mph was like going over a speed-bump.

Gawker had a story this morning about police ticketing in Prospect Park:

Weather.com says 38 degrees and super sunny at 9am tomorrow--it'll be a beautiful day but it is time to break out some, if not all, of the winter gear.

To take advantage of what Fall color is left, we've built a cue that starts with Alpine, then rolls along the Clark Rail Trail to Bradley for a little more climbing in the trees, then spin down into Nyack for a muffin, espresso, or egg sammy. Then we'll peel a layer and lay down a nice brisk run home in the sun on Stateline/9W (perhaps breaking into 2 squads based on relative speeds of the group.)

If you're signed up and want the cue sheet, email me.

See you tomorrow!

Anybody know how River Road is at this time?

Can you take road bikes on it now or is it a hybrid ride?
