There is a lot of bee activity on the Southern Trail just north of Woodlands lake.  I was stung last Sunday and friends reported on two separate occasions within the past two weeks of running into bees as they rode past the lake area.  There must be a hive close to the trail.  Approach the with caution.   

(edit: thanks Antonio! I updated the title to better catch the eye of Putnam / S County / N County Trailway users. Everyone be careful out there! -BV)

Transportation Alternatives sent over this event description to us officially as a club for sharing, and I got it in my inbox as well and I'm proud to be a TA member and volunteer, so if you're interested, take a look:

Update!  We have finalized details for the Ice Cream Social.

We'll be at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, at Pier 1 / Brooklyn Bridge Park.

A tip of my helmet to you, Steve.

Hi,

Was wanting some advice on riding from NYC to Fairfield.  I had a quick look at the ride library to see if there was anything there but nothing jumped out at me.

I'm guessing therefore that i need to create my own route and so would like ssome advise on the best way to do this.  I have also just purchased (yesterday) a Garmin 810, but haven't had a chance yet to see how i can utilise it.

Any suggestions greatfully received,

Thanks,

Alex

probable destination: Pearl River

OK, I took the MTB out today for the first time ever. The jury is still out on why people ride those things, but I want to give it a fair shot. Two questions:

1/ I got pretty lost. I can't find a trail map for VC Park that doesn't suck. Any tips?

2/ What do the tortoise/hare signs mean? There are no words.

3/ I saw some "no bikes" signs at random spots. I rode one trail and then I saw a "no bikes" sign for the first time as I was leaving the trail. Is there any enforcement? Is there any way for me to see the real rules for the trails?

Thanks.

Hey Folks,

As promised a few months ago, we're pleased to introduce Badging capabilities to better recognize the accomplishments and contributions of our members. We're starting small with recognizing the 2014 SIG Graduates. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding 2011, 2012, and 2013 Graduates as well as SIG Leaders for those years.

Assuming all goes well (when does that ever happen??) we'll look to add other badges (100+ Ride Leader, Past Board Member, Best Dressed Cyclist, Bianchi Lovers, etc...) Ok, the last 2 probably won't happen for a while 

(Thank you Neile.)

pushing back the ride to 12pm rain is supposed to stop. we meet at #4 subway Woodlawn and shorten to Peekskill.

stay tuned.
