B17 FF1 SATURDAY CANCELLED - SUNADY ALTERNATIVE - Fall Foliage Ride Series Ride #1: Croton Dam
Fall Foliage Ride #1: Cancelled
Due to the possibility of wet roads in the morning and into the afternoon, we have decided to cancel this ride. There are several twisty descents on narrow tree lined roads. Wet leaves and uneven road surfaces do not make for safe riding conditions.

GIRONA
Anyone do a bike trip in Girona. Wondering how it compares to say Mallorca. Thinking about some good Spring rides for 2015.
Welcome Home, Grace Pineda: Astoria, OR ~ Portland, ME, 3670 Mi./45 days...Age 57 11/12ths!
...and through snow in South Dakota.
And, yes, I got her permission to mention her age--which is what is really noteworthy about this ride and why I mention it.
Mega $million Alpine County & it's mansions that we often bike past
Possibly the priciest zip code in the country.

So that's what that was (dead bear)
I saw this ominous scene on the West Drive of the Park yesterday afternoon but kept pedalling. I'm relieved it wasn't a human tragedy, although a bicycle was involved. Weird tale.

NY cycling moment of sorts
Riding east on 110th street north of CP someone yells at me from a passing car "you A&&..le get in your lane". I rode up to the car at the next light and this is the conversation that ensued:
me: "excuse me, did you say something to me"
passenger (male): "you are an A&&..le you are supposed to be in your lane"
me: "I am in my lane. I am allowed to ride where it is safe for me - away from parked cars in case someone opens a door"
passenger: "Because you will fall if you hit the door?"
me: "yes...and you should give me 3 feet clearance too."
passenger: "not me she is driving"
me: "Mam, would you please give me three feet?
driver: (giggles)
