Ticketing in the park this morning

Submitted by BMirell on Mon, 08/25/2014 - 2:27pm

As I crossed the park on the 72nd street transverse this morning at 9:15, there were 2 cyclists, no, sorry...one cyclist and a bicycle rider, getting tickets. The cyclist was in a kit and looked the part and the bicycle rider was a (helmetless) woman, with her kid in a seat on the back of her bike and her bag in the handlebar basket. They had just gone thru the light as they passed the entrance to the bandshell.

Ride safely.

Fred routing question

Submitted by Sir Roger on Sun, 08/24/2014 - 9:06pm

I was out "Fredding" today. ie taking a slow leasurely ride, My route took me up around Lake Tappan and various other bodies of water. A beautiful day. Slow Fred like long stop off at Piermont and back on the low roads.

My question is. Is there a less vertical way of getting back up to Hudson Terrace without having to do Walnut, which is where almost every ride over that way seems to return.  I have no problem doing lots of hills when I am pushing it, but when I am out for a Fred I don't particularly want to finsh the ride leaving organ meats by the side of the road

Great new bakery in Nyack

Submitted by BMirell on Sun, 08/24/2014 - 4:26pm

It's been there for over 2 years but I just found it. 

The best all natural, gluten free baked goods I've ever had. Also have Veg. Lasagna, mac & cheese and a few others. Their specialty is a rum cake that's perfect for 2 people. No way of telling that it's gluten free and it's absolutely habit forming. Bike friendly and a clean bathroom. Lots of seating for a group. 

Flour Buds - 116a Main street. Going north toward the Runcible, make a left on Main and it's 3-4 blocks on the far right hand corner. 

Good wishes to club newlyweds.

Bicycle Ride for Next Summer ?????

Submitted by AResnick on Thu, 08/21/2014 - 5:01pm

Just got back from 2 week long rides mostly in Oregon(part in Northern California).  The organizing group is Bicycle Rides Northwest(internet-look them up).  Most of the trip was on extremely traffic free roads. Some of you might be interested.  Any questions email me or call me(on club list) 

PS they carry all your stuff; and it is usually camping as the towns you stay in sometimes do not have motels!!
