For the next few weekends (including for the Newcomer's Ride), the A train is only running as far as 168th. This means that getting to/from the GWB, you won't be able to get off/on at 175th. The good news is that 168th has an elevator.

Also, I got the following report about road conditions in the area: The lower part of Fort Washington was milled. In two weeks that will almost certainly be paved. Leaders should take a Broadway bypass for any segment of Fort Washington that has road work that week, in case the DOT proceeds northward with their work and leaves a section unfinished.

I am planning to do my usual Wednesday morning ride from 72nd and Riverside Drive to Battery Park City and back this Wednbesday, July 1st, meeting at 6:15 am at the Eleanor Roosevelt statue. I submitted a ride listing but unfortunately submitted it late, so it may not appear in time.

It's a great ride. Hope you can join me.

any idea who holds the record?

Hi:

I would be interested to know if there is anyone who would like to do a shorter C ride on Saturday or go to the Quarry and seeig West Point instead of doing the longer ride.

Thank you.

Does anyone know (or know who I can contact) regarding whether bikes are permitted on inbound to GC Hudson Line trains on Friday, July 4th?  I know there are some restrictions with regard to outbound trains for the Holiday Weekend.

Thanks!

the promise of no more greasy hands..

This for NYCC members only,

If you are interested in joining a bunch of your NYCC buddies at Gran Fondo NJ, on Sept. 7th, and participating in one the best cycling events in the country, you should register before July 1st, to take advantage of a special NYCC team discount, which goes down on July 1st and the registration prices goes up. In order to access the special NYCC discount, you must first log on to our web site, as a member. You will see the promotion and the registration link for Gran Fondo NJ on the home page, again, only after lgging on. Their Medio Fondo (62 miles) was voted one of the 50 most beauiful rides in the USA, by Bicycling magazine. 

Taking Piermont road has become very crowded with bikes and cars sometimes competing for lane space, has some rough patches and police issue. While it means more climbing, the alternate path I've been using has the advantages of fewer bikes and a much greener surrounding.  I've been bypassing Nyack and Upper Grandview by veering off 9W to 340/Kings Highway to Clausland, Bradley, then down Mainstreet to toward Runsible spoon to South Mountain Road and after completing a loop around Rockland Lake, returning via Lake Road to Strawtown Road, to Western Highway and rejoining 9W via Kings Highway.
