So Metro North New Haven Line Bar Car Double is no longer, and the Connecticut Shoreline Ride has slipped away. Sic transit gloria!  We couldnt have one without the other.

Due to yucky weather and wet roads, we're canceling our ride to the 9W Market.  We will reschedule the ride for Sunday, May 18.

Bring Rain Gear.

Damn! This is a great route and it annoys the heck out of me to put up a cancelation. But I've already sent notices to all the listed participants for the ride as of mid-afternoon and thought I'd better put up something here for any potential late comers. Simply put, the weather forecast for tomorrow is too capricious - IMHO - for me to take a large group on 1.5 hour train rides each way. The morning is likely to be misty and soupy, if not rainy. The late morning and early afternoon might end up working out to be warm, muggy and dry. But there is a definite chance of some T-Storms out there for the mid to latter part of the day. Which means potentially 3 hours of train rides for all of 50-60 miles of good riding at best. Not a great risk/reward balance in my opinion.

For more information regarding the alternative plans for Sunday, please see the Classic message board.

Douwe

Meet 9:00 AM downstairs at 241st/Wakefield (last stop on #2 (transfer 180th from #5) for a Greenwich/Armonk/NYC triangle ride. A Ken/Marilyn Weissman touristy ~11-13/mph pace, some hills.

Four riders so far. Please contact Ken Fri or Sat to sign-on. NYCC members only.

Due to likely inclement weather, the B16 "Jersey Fresh" ride is now set for Sunday.

If we hustle, we might get to the Horse Park in time to see some show jumping....

Any further updates will be posted to this thread.
