In the event you didn't get Glen's funny email announcing the postponment of the North Fork Century this Sunday I am passing the word. Please make sure to pass this along to anyone you know who might not be able to get emails.

Submitted by ACorless on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 12:29pm

A couple of us are riding from Woodlawn (last stop on the 4 train) to Poughkeepsie tomorrow.  100 miles, A21 pace, departing at 8am from Woodlawn.  This is a scenic ride with a decent amount of climbing - message me for the cue sheet if you would like to join us!

Six Gaps / VT

Submitted by gblosser on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 9:27pm

My friend and I will attempt "Six Gaps" in Rochester, VT at the end of September and I want to glean any inside tips you all may have.

If anyone has ever ridden Six Gaps, or any hilly Vermont ride for that matter, please feel free to send any and all advice my way.  We have the route / cue sheet, but are still looking for places to stay and places to eat (i.e. the important stuff).

Thanks!

ps...other than Bear, River Road, and Bradley/Tweed, any recommendations for training would also be greatly appreciated.

 

 

59th Street Bridge at Midnight

Submitted by johnvic on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 7:07pm
I'm sure it has been asked before but how safe is the 59th St. bridge at midnight for a cyclist? What about walking? Yes, I know it's now called the Ed Koch bridge but I grew up in Queens.

Dear fellow cyclists

My name is Paul Singleton, I am from the Isle of Wight, a small island just off of the South Coast of Great Britain. I am contacting you firstly to introduce myself and to seek your advice. At this moment in time I am putting together a team to take a Cycle Challenge from New York to Las Vegas. We are planning to set out from New York in March 2012 and we need to be in Las Vegas by the end of April 2012.
