Riding in Delaware
I will be in Willingmington, DE next week. Does anyone know of any good rides in that area. Anything close will work; I have a car.
Can the Port Authority Save the Planet? - NYT
The article's focus is on ecological management of the Hudson River estuary, but the principle that PA fulfill its historic function are a manager of regional transport infrastructure is easily extended to having them reorganize it on a sustainable basis.
In that context, investing in a modern bike paths across the GWB to facilitate NO-emission travel for a dollar per trip (if that) is a heckuva lot more cost effective than subsidizeing LOW-emission vehicles for up $7.50/trip.
I added the GWB bike path point to "Comments". Please feel free to "Like".

Has anyone ever rode the Tour De Pink charity ride? I was thinking of riding this year--

Thanks

Olana - a fast ride in the mid-Hudson Valley
I know it's an early train but that will allow us to start riding before 9 AM in Poughkeepsie. It's 84 miles loop with lots of miles on nice roads with wide shoulders including NY Bicycle 9. I'm open to making the ride a bit longer in consideration of the long day but I thought this was about right. I'm also open to trying to up the pace to 19 but I'm only willing to commit to the listed 18 pace. It's a lovely area and I think the views from Olana will be quite nice.
Catskill Gran Fondo/Devil's kitchen
I'm contemplating signing up. Was wondering if someone who is familiar with both Rockland climbs such as Clausland,Ash,Bear,Little Tor etc could contrast it with the Devil's Kitchen climb. My Garmin if it's accurate seems to tell me I've climbed as steep as 17% for short distances, however the site for Catskill Fondo has mention of climbs hitting 22%. I looked the route up on RideWithGPS but it's still hard to putinto context so hoping someone who has done the route can chime in. Thanks
Lesson learned - bring at least one new tube with you on a ride
In search of some legal help...Fort Lee NJ
Long story short I am being charged with being on the GW bridge when it was closed for the accident...so I am seeking some suggestions or advice since I will need a lawyer for my case. Does anyone know a criminal defense lawyer in Fort Lee that works within that system who I could get to represent me in my case? I have a crystal clear record (up until now I guess) and it should be simply reduced to just a fine, but I want to make sure that I don't leave any room for anything else to come out of this.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter,
...and you thought I was unrelievedly, unregenerately anti-cop
This weekend I saw something I had never, ever seen. In 44 years of cycling on Riverside Drive, I had never, ever once seen a driver stopped for speeding. I saw it this weekend.
