Any suggestions for places to do hill repeats in Queens?

Something like Churchill or Walnut would be ideal.

Thanks.

B16 Central Park laps - Tuesday, 5:45am - weather report

Submitted by LWintner on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 5:45pm

The report on weather.com for Tuesday morning is pretty dismal.  But, I hate to cancel at 6pm the night before because you never know....  But, if at 9 or 10pm tonight it still looks dismal, maybe I will cancel and actually get some sleep for a change.  So, check again later to see what I'm thinking.

Regards, Linda

PS: Two of the people who signed up (MB and EN) do not have their emergency contact name/phone number in the system.  Please go into your NYCC account information online and add that information.  Thanks very much.

How steep is Palisades Park climb to Alpine

Submitted by DduCille on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 9:55am

Hey guys, been doing some searching and can't seem to find this info and this site still runs pretty slow.  I'm pretty sure I found this info in here several months back but I'm not sure.  I'm contemplating doing Gran Fondo NY and I'm trying to get a feel for what to expect on some of the climbs.  I've never been to BEar Mtn  but i've ridden palisades park up to the Alpine Police station.  Does anyone have the grade and length of that climb so I can reference against that?  

 

Thanks

Submitted by SRabin on Sun, 04/03/2011 - 7:12pm
