GFNY Road Closure Information For Sunday May 19trh

Submitted by RSchmon on Thu, 05/02/2024 - 10:31pm

Following is information on how to navigate around the road closures during the Gran Fondo New York on Sunday, May 19th, 2024.  I have received this information from Uli Fluhme—co-founder and co-organizer of the event. 

River Road (Henry Hudson Drive) and Hudson Terrace will be closed all day.

Therefore, cyclists will have to by-pass Hudson Terrace to and from the George Washington Bridge on the New Jersey side by using Bruce Reynolds Boulevard and Lemoine Avenue.  

9W is as usual closed Northbound from Alpine to Nyack from 7am to 9.30am. The detour is Closter Dock Road down to Piermont Road / 340.

Hi,

I have a Thule bike rack that holds 2 bikes. I will gladly lend it to the cycler for Memorial Day weekend, if you will also take me and my bike to Great Barrington for the weekend.

Thanks, Michelle

Does your bike computer give you a false elevation gain crossing the GWB?

Submitted by RRosenthal on Mon, 04/29/2024 - 11:00pm

If I read my bike computer correctly, it credits me with elevation gain coming up from the Hudson River, meaning a very false elevation gain by day's end. Is that correct? If so, how many feet do you deduct to compensate for it?

We're going to be scouting this week. I know that the trail is rough with a lot of rocks etc. Any recent problems we should be looking out for?

ISO Wireless computer (the simpler the better) with a sensor that works at over 30" distance to computer. My Padone+ is a disaster. Thanks.

Introducing Our Updated RidewithGPS NYCC Library

Submitted by RSchmon on Mon, 04/22/2024 - 4:41pm

For the past several years, our NYCC route library has been located on two websites: NYCC and RidewithGPS.  When, in the near future, the NYCC launches its new website we will have our library located on just one website: RidewithGPS.  We will maintain a library page on the new NYCC website but it will be informational only, it will not contain routes.
