OT  Parks Supt Gorton advised me that walkers and bicyclists should travel on the right side of the path. Bikers should approach peds with caution and announce their presence and pass on the left of the walkers.  Also-- a bit of good news from him: Phase II of the rail trail, the link from Greenbush Road to the Blauvelt Library on Western Highway is currently under construction and should be finished early next year.

1) We will start on time. I promise, I'll be at the start point no later than 9:25 AM.

2) I will have a cue sheet with regroup points after each major climb marked as well on the route map.

Anybody know a good 45 - 55 mile loop in westchester/conn  area..

Have a car so starting point /parking  can be anywhere on the loop..

Yeah I know about the ride library... But anyone got particular faves.. 

Tomorrow looks like a great day for a ride..

SUNDAY, May 31 - Team RWB + NYCC = Staten Island Loop

START: Meet 09:10AM at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal at Whitehall Street in Manhattan, by the bicycle boarding area, for the 09:30 AM ferry to St. George. 

SPEED/DISTANCE - C14/43, B16/43, B18/50

WHAT: NYCC is reaching out to our members who military veterans and those who support them by getting Team RWB (Red White & Blue) involved with NYCC.   This ride will include C14, B16 and B18 groups, as we would like to involve as many riders from Team RWB as possible. 

Is the official status still only open for cycling on Sundays?

If so, why are training rides scheduled during the week, etc??

Thanks!

I'm interested in either forming a group or joing a group riding in the TD Five Boro.

Anyone interested please send me email ([email protected]).

Thank.

On a ride Sunday, I intended to go through Tappan on Oak Tree Road, only to discover that the way is blocked due to bridge construction at the western end of Oak Tree. It was possible to detour by going through the park to the north of the bridge, and over a small bridge behind the Tappan Library. It would probably also work to go around the bridge on Main St., Washington St., and Washington Lane.

Are we using the north side of the bridge weekdays ??

FYI: there is a half-marathon (along with a 5K and 6K) starting from Ross Dock and going to at least the Alpine Boat Basin this Sunday morning in Palisades Park. There are events in the afternoon but they are confined to e.g. boat basin. I recommend avoiding River Road this Sunday morning.  

PIPC had multiple notices and signs out yesterday that this was coming Sunday May 3rd and it is featured prominently on the front page of the website, with link to event specifics for details. The event is a fund-raiser for the park.

Does anyone here use CycleOps trainers?

I have been doing simple intervals with some YouTube videos and I also do 30 minute light spinning for recovery days. It's been good but I want to focus on climbing. I'm an okay climber but lose energy after a good climb. Hardscrabble killed me! I got the CTS DVD for Climbing. Should I do it a few days in a row or do you skip days like you do with weight training?

Any training at home advice is appreciated.
