How is 9D coming south from Beacon into Cold Spring? I've driven it once or twice, and I don't remember great shoulders, and perhaps a scary tunnel through Breakneck Ridge?

South to Garrison from there looks fine, and then I'd probably use 403/Cat Rock Road to get up to Route 9.

Alternately, would it be better from Beacon to go northeast into Fishkill, and pick up Route 9 southbound there? I notice that this is the official NYS bicycle route 9 routing in that part of Putnam.

Thanks!

He got back on and finished 3rd I think.

NY state legislature passes bill allowing anonymous, wealthy donor to cover costs of improving small section of Route 9W for cyclists.

Nice piece in the New Yorker on Steve Fulop, the cyclist and somewhat quixotic mayor of Jersey City: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/06/iron-mayor

There was a sign today indicating that milling and paving of Hudson Terrace--presumably from where they stopped it last year up to Palisade Avenue, will start on or about April 13th.  

Dunno if I'm a latecomer, but I just read Jay's scintillating account of his cycle trip there. What a great post: http://nycc.org/node/74157.

I'm contemplating a bike frame lifter for my new mixte. Has anyone tried it?
