Hardenburgh was open today
We were prepared to work around construction on Hardenburgh but found out, to our pleasant surprise, that it was open. There were no signs of ongoing construction just shut down over the weekend.
Lamont Observatory is closed unless you have a Columbia ID
The guard wouldn't let us into Lamont without Columbia University ID. He said it is now a permanent restriction.
Lamont was part of my favorite route to Tallman Mountain Park and Piermont.
You can still get to Tallman by staying on 9W, making a R on Washington Spring Rd (at the traffic signal, opposite Oak Tree Rd), then 1st L onto Woods Rd. https://goo.gl/maps/ytqUhXKnyyidWbhn8
Or if you want to pick up some goodies at 9W Market there's another entrance to Tallman just beyond.

Hi
I was at Trek bicycles today to look at trainers. Anyone have experience with the Wahoo Kickr Snap?
Riding from Poughkeepsie to Hudson, NY and in the Hudson area
Hello all,
I will be spending a week in Hudson and will be riding up from the Poughkeepsie MN station. Google Maps has me cycling the 42 miles on Route 9 to get there. Anyone have any experience riding on that stretch of RT 9 as far as how bicycle friendly it is and if an alternate route would be preferable? For example, 9G runs parallel to RT 9 for a good stretch.
Also any recommend routes or areas to ride to and around in the Hudson area? Thanks in advance!

Route, Points of Interest NYC to Mystic, CT
Greetings! All,
I hope this finds the community well and healthy. I am interrested in riding from GWB to Mystic, CT. Realistically, I should probbaly attempt it in 2 days, given all this heat we've received. Any points of interest and a favorite places to stay for the night would be great. I generally don't ride on my own so suggested routes would be nice. I'm new to Komoot and use a Wahoo Element for navigation (usually pinned from RideWGPS).
Thank you for your shared knowledge. - Kirby
