We have a ride to State Line listed for next Sunday, 9/20

Does anyone know if the restrooms are open?

Is the route south from the park on Old 9W to New 9W rideable?

Has anyone successfully ridden through Lamont-Doherty from the main entrance to the exit at the north end (Ludlow Lane?)

Any intl is welcome.

Just a head's up, went to Bicycle Workshop in Tenafly today for a problem shifting. We were advised that they have a 2 week wait for repairs. They were very busy. They were unable to even give it a serious look   Things have changed   In the past they would have put the bike on a stand and have a look

Funny story: trudging my steel frame road bike up "Harlem Hill" today in the "slow lane", and, at the very top of the hill, a gentleman in full navy blue S-Works kit with matching bike and bright white socks passes on the right, looks back in my direction, and proceeds to hock a loogie at my front wheel.

I'll admit, I can be a jerk, but this was one of those times when I definitely was NOT being a jerk.

Any thoughts on hocking a loogie at someone in the middle of a pandemic? Is this a "pro" thing. (Just kidding. Sorry for venting.)

Hello -

The tires on my Specialized Allez Comp are worn out.  I have a 700X25 in the front and 700X28 in the rear (opted for this for improved comfort).  I have been riding a lot and for the first time speed is more important for me than comfort.  So, I'm thinking to go with 700X25 for front and rear.

When the perp realized that he was not going to win the tug o war with me over the bike and his friends weren't coming to his aid, he gave up.  There were a number of people & 2 (empty?) police cars at the scene.

She wrote nice long piece with color photos and map drawing including scenery, animal sightings, touristic  points of interest & culinary highlights.

She thought that the "best terrain of the trip was the Tarrytown-Yonkers Old Croton Aqueduct trail" She covered 72 miles in 3 days.
