The Threat to the Palisades... (NYT link)

Submitted by GeorgeArcarola on Tue, 03/25/2014 - 8:04am

I would think that having four (4) former governors of New Jersey write a piece for the Times is pretty significant... it also would appear, from this, that LG doesn't give a damn...

The NYCC gear page still has the old stuff on it.. shouldn't we have pics of the new stuff on the NYCC site..

Also I am going to ask again... Is there going to be a new NYCC cycling cap.

I am sorry to do this again but it's just too cold for me so I'm canceling.  Let's hope Thursday is better.

Babies on Bikes - seeking riders interested in a babies on board ride

Submitted by DNeff on Mon, 03/24/2014 - 1:11pm

Warm weather returns, but this year newfound responsibilities are keeping me away from the STS.  Anyone out there interested in an organized group ride where we stop for diaper changes, playgrounds snacks and hopefully not mechanicals?  I'm hoping to stay in shape pedaling a 45lb Ute... with a 21lb baby and likely another 15 lbs of support gear.  Getting from Brooklyn to the Palisades might be challenge enough for Max's attention span but I'm going to give it a shot.  Drop me a note if you're interested and if there is enough interest, I'll post a ride.  Anyone who just loves babies and wants to be a buffer is welcome to load their bike with groceries and come out for the haul.

 

PS, sing along optional.

South County - North County to the Croton Reservoir.

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Mon, 03/24/2014 - 1:08pm

Was clear enough last Saturday. I went around the park, so can’t comment on that section. Otherwise reasonably clean to the Croton. Ice patches in the areas of constant shadowing at some of the bridges and at the end of all the tunnels. One tunnel (Hwy 100?) was severe enough that I had to walk the last 15’ or so. Milwood has apparently used the trailway as a snow storage area with large mounds remaining, but it was easy to get around on the streets. The further North the more areas of snow/slush/ice encroachment but none severe enough to require getting off the bike.  I’m guessing things might get iffy North of Yorktown Heights.
