The section of River Road just south of Nyack where the road passes under I-87 adjacent to the Tappan Zee Bridge is dangerously narrow and blind.

There is lots of construction on both sides of the road, a rough road everywhere and the more than occassional jerk in a car who can't wait to get around us.

I came accross this listing today..

In the listing the person talks about Racing.. I have emailed them to see if they are running un sanctioned races. This is troubling and could have a negative effect on many of us.

Anyone know anything about this. ??

Due to rain this ride is cancelled

Is your idea of a commuter bike the one with the 10 speed super record rather than the 11? Insist custom is the best way to go? This is a day for you. 

Parlee for those that don't know is a Mass based manufacturer of largely Carbon roadbikes known for their custom frames and high quality. Or in the words of Ferris Bueller "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." 

I have a friend coming to NYC in a few weeks. He is an avid cyclist and would like to do a ride or two while here. Does anyone know of an LBS or other business that rents higher end bicycles by the day?

If someone had posted this, I missed it. It was confirmed verbally by the owner of the Country Deli just off the trailways in Millwood. BTW, they bake great bread.

I took this off the Westchester.gov website:

NOTE:

I lost my Fitbit one, burgundy, in the ladies room at Grant's Tomb approximately 9:15 Saturday morning.  The A Classic riders came into the bathroom as I departed.  I'm hoping against hope that someone found it and picked it up.

Hi. I will be in Tuscany in 2 weeks. Can anyone recommend a bike store or company, perhaps operating out of Florence, where I can rent a good road bike and perhaps ride with a group?  I see tons of advertisements for weeklong bike vacations, but I am just looking for a day rental and a good ride thru the hills. Thanks.

Thanks
