From years back, I recall that the Broadway Bridge had grates that could swallow wheels and riders were directed to use the sidewalks. Last week, while soloing up Broadway, I noticed cyclists using the roadway. Has the grate situation improved? Am I misremembering this bridge? Thanks.

The weather forecast is just too grim for riding on Sunday; wet and cold. I have re-listed the ride for Monday the 31st starting at 10:00 AM which as of now is when the rain is supposed to stop.

This is a relatively easy ride to Tappan and back and if the weather turns bad we can shorten the ride at Demarest, cutting the distance from 35 to 25 miles.

I posted a limit of 12 plus the leaders. I hope we have to deal with a larger list!

I wanted to share the below message that was sent to the Club this week. It's great to know we offer valuable resources to the cycling community as a whole.

Enable GingerHello! I see that the escape NY registration website has been launched, however when I try to click on it it doesnt work. I wonder if it is only me or if it is not yet available for registration.

Thank you,

If anyone has room in their car on the way out there or back. Thanks! 

I would like to access the most recent virtual club event "How to Organize Big Bicycle Events" held on June 11. Under the Events banner if one clicks on past events the most recent event listed is from Sept 2020. Not everyone is available to attend the live events and if possible, it would be great if the events could be archived. 

Hi folks,

Well, the forecast is looking rather grim for this weekend, and I'm considering changing plans and traveling without the bike.  What do people think?  Is riding on Saturday/Sunday/Monday going to be feasible or practical?  It's so hard to predict the weather -- just wondering what people are feeling at this point.

Anyone have a problem with hand numbness? It was never much of a problem before but it certainly was this winter--my hands felt cold unless I was wearing extra thick gloves. And now that it's warm, my hands feel a little numb pretty fast. My riding position hasn't changed; all my bikes (don't ask) are at least 10 years old. I'm hitting 60 this year, could it be related to aging?
