Join the Snow Devils as we share yet-another Social Sunday of challenging terrain, beautiful views, and all-day camaraderie, on several Harriman State Park trails, in our cars, and at our post-outing coffee stop en route to a 4:00-5:00 NYC return. We car pool, leaving 8:30 am from an upper west side meet-up.  

We're expecting ample snow on the ground--ice too--although it appears we'll be on MicroSpikes, StabilIcers, or similar footgear, and not on snowshoes.

FYI, as of Friday afternoon, ride is a go.

Weather looks good. I also checked with a bike shop in the area, roads should all be fine.

Check back here for further updates.

Does anyone know what the road conditions are in Bronsville/Yonkers/Scarsdale after today's snow storm?

No surprise there; he used to be a bike mechanic.

Also in the news today, this grim story: A life punishment for riding while black: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/04/us/florida-man-shot-by-deputy-is-awarded-23-million.html

Speaking about Mayor de Blasio's plan to build a trolley line from upper Queens to lower Brooklyn, 

"...Mr. Ravitch said the plan was 'brilliant.' He added, 'Not everybody's going to ride bikes.'"

All, can you please get the word out about two bicycles that were stolen from our basement in Harlem on 147th Street between St. Nicholas and Convent. This happened yesterday (2/3) between 11:44am-1:19pm.  I cannot attach pictures here, but there are on the NYCC FB page. Please get the word out and I have a detective at the 30th precinct work on this. Please share everywhere you can.

All,

My Electra Amsterdamn bike was stolen from 44th St in Hell's Kitchen. Please keep an eye out for it. Picture below is from

when it was new, 4+ years ago. The seat is different now, black, not brown.

Thank you,

Jon

Hey folks,

It's astronomically unlikely that anyone would have found a Fly6 on the road (or would report it even if discovered), but one was bounced off a seatpost yesterday after another belligerent NJ driver menaced us into some potholes.

Reply only if you happened to find it....

Here's an explanation of the sequence of construction of the new bridge:
