PIP just told me that the section from Ross Dock south will be closed for the weekend because they were not able to completely remove the boulder.

They also told me that we will still be ticketed going down the forbidden hill section to access RR.

I think that if the NYPD had a bike patrol it would be more sympathetic towards the challenges of riding a bike in the city.

I've just submitted a C-14, 50-mile impromtu ride for Monday.  Don't know how long it will take to appear in the listings. Please sign up; don't just show up.

Just want to thank all that made it to the GARMIN training event last night, put on with NYCC, SPCARBON Bicycles, Tekserve and Garmin.

Cue Sheets for Berkshire Weekend

Hi all,

I'd like to get from the GWB to City Island at around 10:00 on a Saturday.

What bridge do you recommend? 207th or 181?

Fordham Rd to Pelham Parkway?

Thanks in advance,

-Erica

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!
