Please join us on Sunday, June 14th, for the FREE Riverdale Riverfest.  The mission of the Riverfest is to bring people down to the Hudson River in Riverdale to encourage support for development of a bicycle/pedestrian Greenway along the Hudson River in the Bronx that would connect with the existing West Side Greenway in Manhattan.

A few of the many highlights of the festival are 1) one and a half hour sails on Pete Seeger's iconic sloop, the Clearwater as well as sails on the schooner, A.J. Meerwald, ($25 cost), 2) a headline performance by the iconic band Blood, Sweat and Tears (5-6:30pm),  and 3) a Transportation ALternatives BIKE VALET (free)!

Hey Folks,

Heart Across America - a cross country ride that started in Palo Alto, is finishing in NYC on Sunday, June 14th. It was started by Sean Maloney, who was Intel's CEO-to-be 5 years ago before he suffered from a stroke. After recovering, he is cycling across America to bring attention to stroke and preventative steps that everybody can take (fortune.com/2014/10/30/intel-maloney-bike-ride-stroke/).

Just wanted to put this up as an FYI:

Cyclists lose court battles with owners of animals involved in collisions.

Here is an official list of where dogs are and are not allowed in Central Park, and where they are required to be leashed.  One might think a leash is always required but that is not the case. Note, dogs are allowed off-leash in areas around the main loop road from 6-9AM; in other words, exactly where & when many riders would be likely to try and squeeze in laps.

Hey there, I'm thinking about putting together an NYCC ride on the Columbia Trail.

The Columbia is a former rail line, which was converted into a hardpack trail, about 15 miles long.  It's got a slight incline, but is generally flat and fairly easy to navigate.  The road is relatively smooth, so it can be done on a cross bike, possibly other road bikes as long as your tires are wide.  There's also an ice cream parlor in High Bridge, near one end of the trail.

An out-and-back will be around 30 miles, with a few extra miles for ice cream. ;)  

Can anyone recommend a NYC Marathon Coaching/Training program?

Has anyone done the 16-week program at JackRabbit geared for the NYC Marathon?  Your thoughts?

Can anyone recommend a club similar to NYCC for running?

Thanks.

I have to go to Atlantic City and then to Margate.  Does anyone know of a bike route from New York City to Margate, New Jersey, or at least Atlantic City?
