UPDATE: The Mrs. and I have decided to rent a car, and no longer need help transporting our bags up. However, we now have *limited* space to help folks bring their bags up (limit 4-5 carry-on sized bags). We're staying in Sheffield (going up Friday morning, back on Monday); and would be willing to bring them up if you're willing to throw us some gas money. If interested, just reach out to me (contact info below), and we can figure something out.

Early bird registration for ENY 2017 ends May 31!

 On June 1, prices will increase from $45 to $60.  Do the math—and think about what an extra $15 could buy you!    

• One tube of Castelli chamois cream, for your high-end rear end.

BSIG team gray finished the 2017 Blooming Metric.  Jorge Negrin, Paul Rogalinski,  Jennifer Betras, Gina Palma, John Min, Eiwe Lingefors, and Ben Jackson.

So according to my Garmin:

• Avg. Speed:    16.7mph
• Elev Gain:       3,097ft
• Max Speed:     45.2mph
• Moving Time:   3:36

It compares with no other event.  It exceeded my expectations in many respects: perfect weather, route improvements,  food and drinks, and  friendly police from a dozen departments directing auto traffic to yield to passing bicyclists. Although I didn't need it, I noticed many roving mechanics driving motorcycles or cars quickly appearing and making repairs, the pre race information details, pre and post race festivities.

We have 1-A, 4-B and 2-C rides for this year's Newcomers ride to Pascack Brook County Park.  The rides are posted and you can sign up today!!  Lunch is on us!  Sign up now.  Thanks.

I am looking for someone to take my luggage to Birkshire ride this weekend for Memorial Day, or perhaps I could ride up in car with someone who likes a passenger.. Julia 917-224-1618

thank you

Hi,

This looks like a fun weekend!  Regarding the trains, I'm less familiar, is it Amtrak or Metro North that goes to Hopewell Junction or Brewster?  

Thanks!
