Best way to Goswick Pavillion for the BBQ

Submitted by mhsimkin on Fri, 08/03/2018 - 11:28am

Hi.

I might need to ride by myself to the BBQ.  When I map this out via RWGPS, the routing has me using Rockland Road between 9W and Ferdon Ave.  Is there a better way?

Thanks

Roommate needed for Natchez Trace bike tour Oct 12 - 21

I've signed up for Black Bear Adventures' Natchez Trace bike tour in 2 months. Previously, I've toured w/ BBA on their spectacular Blue Ridge Parkway tour and loved it. Like the BRP, the Trace is a scenic parkway w/ great vistas and few autos. Think of a 500 mile long River Road!

Escape New York 2018 will be the best one yet

Because it’s the last one.

I’m kidding. I have no knowledge that anyone plans to discontinue ENY. 

I have your attention, though. And I have a feeling that we will be saying bye-bye to a contemporaneous thread, so I wanted to share something in a new thread in order to support the mission of the club and its members. 

We always have the option of continuing to run ENY in order to generate profit to be donated to charity. 

If we want the event to be successful, we need to have an open discussion about how to rescue it. Recent ENY events have barely broke even. People did work hard but attendance has been consistently off since the early 2010s.

Pop Quiz: distance estimate

Submitted by HSchiffman on Wed, 08/01/2018 - 10:51am

You are on "River Road" under the GW Bridge going south heading back to Manhattan. You look across the river and see the Hudson River Greenway on the other side. If you ride over the bridge, take the left on Fort Washington Avenue, down 181st St, cross the parkway on the overpass @182nd St, then down the greenway, what is your estimate of the total distance to the path under the GW Bridge on the Manhattan side?

Sure you can look it up. But see how close you come to the distance on the link below:
