Hey All

I just joined NYCC. Been riding a lot this summer,but am new to the group. I don't have a ton of group cycling experience as I've just done rides with a friend all summer.  Would love to get some rides going as soon as possible. If anyone wants to link up and go for a ride let me know! 

Thanks,

-Corey

Without exaggeration, Liviu Goldenberg is riding better, stronger now than at any time I recall in the last, is it ten years? More?

Our club is aging so that turning 70 is no longer the signal achievement it was years ago but perhaps nevertheless worth noting. (As is the 50th anniversary a few days ago of Liviu's having arrived here in the US from his first 20 years living under communism--perhaps a more meaningful anniversary.)

Rider's Block!

NYC Parks Department will shut down HRG from 100 to 125 Street for repaving beginning September 28.  End date uncertain.

Riding from the UWS to Pelham pretty often these days (to babysit my Granddaughter), and trying to find the best route without too much Bronx traffic. 
Tried to get on the trail that links to the South County Trail in Westchester today. So, I was in VC Park and near the lake and golf course.  Huge fences that were impenetrable had signs on them that the trail was closed. 
Any work-around (or walk-around) suggestions most helpful. Thank you. 
(Meanwhile, I wound up going north along the west side of the park, and onto the trail in Yonkers. Problem is that the roads north of the park going East are pretty awful.)

anyone interested?

I seem to remember that cyclists would cross US-6/Palisades to continue on Seven Lakes Drive in order to get to Bear Mountain, although it may have been illegal. Is this true? If so, is it currently being enforced? Here is a picture of that area for what I want to do:

Thanks!

Is there any way to view, after the fact, the Jon Orcut session?

Probably cost more than my current go-to roadbike.....

Has anyone rode Arden Valley Rd since the storm a few weeks ago.  Was hopping to know if it was rideable, before I headed out there.
