Train service out between Garrison and Peekskill. Rock slide caused by track work. Bus service only. This will be interesting with a recumbent

I just posted a C-13 ride to Harsdale for tomorrow. This leaves very little time for the ride to get posted and seen by the masses so I figured I'd mention it here as well.

I haven't been able to ride for a while (stress fracture) and I'm looking to get started again with a nice, gentle C ride.

The ride departs from the Loeb Boathouse at 9:00 am.

And here's why we don't paceline with areobars

It's on the resurfacing schedule this week:

Of course, they'll repave up to 169th, but they're of course milling the road up to 179th north of there, whomp whomp

It would be pretty interesting (like a freaking miracle) if they could clean up the UCI…

Talansky left the Tour this morning with injuries. But a hard look at his diagnosis, sacroiliitis, reveals that it is caused by crashes, and can lead to lung infection, which he has

Oddly enough, I have the same injury, so learning about his diagnosis was very helpful to me. Too bad it's too late to do anything about it , at least in my case.

In his case, recovery will be slow, and is not so clearcut. Sad. He's now the fourth top rider to abandon the Tour due to injuries, and the second one after colliding with Simon Gerrans. 

The condition may also be the cause of his lung infection. Thus, this is something we all might be aware of, being cyclists. Sacroillitis often is caused by being hit by a car!!!!

Rapha is running a "Tour de France" Happy Hour every night, and have reserved seats for us on Thurdsay, July 24th.  That will be Stage 18, which is a mountain stage.

Please make sure to sign up, so we have a head count.

Suggestions appreciated for post-ride, pre-train food (either caz dine in, or take to train) in Beacon NY?

I recall some group rides ending at one place up high over the RR station that had a large patio - - name?

Any others good? Main St. looks like it has quite a few.

Am looking to bike in France in early October. Does anyone have a good tour group they've used besides VBT or Backroads that was really good and not super expensive? 

Merci!
