I was thinking of taking the metro north as close as possible and then riding to Sheffield Saturday... Sunday and Monday are looking nice so we could still get some riding in then.

A traveler emailed me with this question... I figured it's best to post it here because I'm not certain of the most comfortable route from Summit to Fort Lee. Considerations:

* This is at the end of a very long journey, so a route that avoids hills is probably better than a route that charges directly up them.

* There isn't a time requirement stated here, so if the route is a little roundabout, that's ok.

* "Safe" seems to be a big factor here. Unfortunately the direct line from Summit to Fort Lee has a lot of towns with dense urban traffic. 

Thursday morning's ride is officially cancelled.  That said, if the roads are dry at 5AM, Christy and Jackie will (unofficially) be at 5:45 at Engineers Gate.

Whatever you choose to do, have a great weekend of riding and we'll see you next week!

Not sure when, but have heard that access will be limited at some point.

The weather forecast is bad.  See you next week.

Go to: 14andhudson,com.  Located directly across Piermont Ave from Bunbury's it is owned by husb & wife team Eric & Paula Woods.  He is a CIA grad and has been exec. chef at Blue Fin in the W Hotel NYC since 2005.  Seafood will apparently be the specialty.  The #14 is lucky for him--he's the youngest of 14 children!  Paula told me that cyclists are definitely welcome

Looks like I'll be able to attend after all but need room/share for me only on Friday night and two rooms (me + others) for both Saturday and Sunday nights.

I likely have a backup plan but just throwing this out there in case anyone has any better options.

The gates N & S of the bridge are chained closed for cars.  Bikes can go around the chains &  easiily ride around the rock.  I think it happened Sunday  & assume it was after the Gran Fondo passed.  Additional rock slides in the area can't be ruled out.
