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.

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
