Sorry folks!

The weather tomorrow looks too unsettled for the ride, with potential thunderstorms.
 
We hope to reschedule the ride in the coming weeks.

This is about how our brain and body work together—or not—to ride a bike.

I did this ride last year.  For some reason, it does not generate a cue sheet.  Does anyone know how I might generate one from this ride without rewriting the entire route?  Below is the link for the route and the ride.

Red Light Tickets in Central park

Submitted by branimal on Thu, 05/28/2015 - 8:07pm
I went to CP this past Sunday and all the cyclists were stopping at the red lights. Spoke to a roadie and apparently the cops are out giving tickets for blowing lights, and for exceeding the speed limit. This was sunday probably 2pm, so the park was packed

Anyone know if the cops are out ticketing there early in the morning or later in the evening? I'd like to do laps in CP but stopping at each light is painful.

Thanks.

Good thing the regular braking system still works. The "volunteer's" knees are probably not feeling good today.

 

[edit]: note that it's standard equipment to not rear end other cars. You have to pay extra to get the pedestrian detection system.

Question About This Route To Nyack

Submitted by rbeda on Thu, 05/28/2015 - 11:35am

Hi Everyone,

I found the route in the link below in the ride library and was wondering if everyone would think this is a safe and feasable route to do as a solo ride tomorrow as I've never been on any of the roads past Schraalenburgh.

Recommendations for a scenic, not so hilly century ride?

Submitted by danimal on Wed, 05/27/2015 - 7:50pm

Hello all,

I am looking to take someone on their first century ride.  I would like to be somewhere scenic, like north of Cold Spring or up past Poughkeepsie.  However, since this is their first century, I was hoping to not throw 8,000 ft of climbing at them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

 

It was bears, now its turtles

It's that time of the year again.  large turtles crossing Western Hwy to lay their eggs!  Volunteer turtle crossing guards are being recruited(I'm serious) and cyclists should use caution there.
