Looks like it will be an awesome afternoon to spin to Nyack

Anyone riding to Penn Station from Brooklyn/Park Slope next week for 5 BBC Montauk Century? Want  to meet up for that early morning ride over. Since I'm doing the 65 mi route - my sign in is at 6am. Thanks!

not sure where to take this.

yesterday (saturday may 7th) i was bicycling over the Brooklyn Bridge. there was some sort of charity-walk-event going on and the event-walkers were swarming into the bicycle lane.

i was caused to crash by one of these walkers who was in the bicycle lane, by the strap of her bag catching on to my handlebars

i tried to find an event organizer, or marshall but couldn't find anybody who would admit to being in charge.

Can someone please tell me how to send SIG photos to the club for posting on this site?
Thanks

OOPS, the ride expired on the Ride Board, BUT the ride is on. Tom will be leading the ride, beginning at Grants Tomb at 10:15AM. See you there.

Thanks to all the B-SIG riders -- especially the outstanding Whiskey group! -- for such a great time this season.  Now start thinking about leading your own rides for the rest of the season!

Meanwhile, here are a few more photos, from Cold Spring and Deep Westchester.

Work was in progress today on the grade behind the strip mall at Tuckahoe Rd. A retaining wall has been constructed to contain the path above the parking lot. Numerous, fresh piles of soil are evident beyond the fence where the trail ends just north of the Tuckahoe Rd underpass. 

Some sections of the Trailways have not fared well through the years. In places, asphalt has been placed over railroad ties. The result is a wavy surface with cracks. Ideally, these should be deconstructed and rebuilt. The commission working on paving the Van Cortlandt Park section understands the need to remove everything and install drainage sublayers.

Funding might become an issue to achieve a consistent surface that can be taken the whole length of the path at a higher rate of travel.

Wanted to contact another member whom I met on a recent ride. Any way to do this?

Thanks!  Jim

Planning a basic Nyack ride on Sunday 5/8, leaving around 9. B-17-18 pace.  Looking for someone to ride with.  Let me know if interested by calling 646-831-4989.

The C Sig is on. Groups 1, 2 and 4 will meet at 72nd Street and Riverside Drive. Groups 3 and 5 will meet at the Rambles Shed Area. There's a possibility of a spot shower so dress accordingly.
