Nyack B16 ride start time moved from 9:00 to 8:00

Submitted by GRoss on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 4:58pm

I moved the start time to 8:00 AM to give is time to get in a decent ride and miss (hopefully) the rain. This will get us to Tappan around 11:00 and we should be able to decide then whether it's good to go for Nyack as promised or to cut it short either to Piermont or The Market on 9W. I still advise bringing a rain jacket and fenders if you have them.

Hi All,

Due to rain in the forecast for Saturday, we will do a quick spin to the market for breakfast, starting at Grants Tomb tomorrow morning.

Check the listing for current and future modifications.  We will do the Peekskill ride at a later date as soon as we decide what that is.

Does anyone compute by Citibike from the Upper East Side to Midtown, and if so, what is it like?  

Weather discussion for Saturday

Submitted by HSchiffman on Wed, 05/18/2016 - 8:34am

Saturday is a big day for our spring training series with lots of train rides scheduled. With 3 days to go (I'm writing this at 9:30 am), there is a system over Texas on the gulf that is supposed to morph into a significant rain event as it chugs up the east coast; timing will be everything. 

Weatherunderground has a total of 1.6" of rain forecast for our area with this event, with a greater than 50% chance hitting at noon. Accuweather shows it coming later in the afternoon, around 2. Over the last day, the time of arrival has been moving up, earlier in the day.

Visiting NYC in June from South Africa

Submitted by [email protected] on Wed, 05/18/2016 - 8:14am

Hi,

 

I'll be visiting NYC in June from South Africa. I'm in the middle of a training program for one of the longest mountain bike races in the world. I cannot afford to loose 2 weeks of training. :)

 

I need to ride some 50-60 miles 18th and 50-60 miles 19th of June.

 

I have 2 problems and would love some suggestion.

1. I do not have a mountain bike there. Is there places to hire some?

2. Where would I do these distances preferably not on busy public roads...

 

Regards,

Andre
