I rode the Medio today -- what a beautiful ride and day. The route was shady, quiet, and well marked. Rest stops were well spaced and well staffed. There were even cheerleaders at the first one and there was plenty of food. Spirits seemed high among riders of all abilities. There was even a sponsored bike wash-and-lube at the end, if you were willing to wait for it.

Only down side for me was the need for a car to get there, because of the early start. But I was glad to be done early too, so there's that.  I am publicly thanking the organizers for reaching out to NYCC and running a great ride.

Saw a guy on a Citibike riding up the ramp to the GWB

This is how you should put your bike on the roof rack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40EZ1cYzdE

I hear he can also ride fast.

Strawtown Rd is a scary mess right now! The road surface is chewed up (presumably to prep for repaving), and there are PILES of gravel all along the edge of the road. We had about a foot and a half of "rideable" space - if any pothole or swerving car had pushed us off that line, we would have gone down. I'm a dirt road, cyclocross, gravel rider, I don't say this lightly. The funky turn-to-stay-on-Strawtown was especially bad, with gravel across the whole intersection, sometimes over an inch deep.

The bad conditions started just north of the intersection with Germonds/Old Mill Rd and continued approximately three miles to just south of Congers Rd.

Does anyone have any further information about the cyclist related accident on southbound 9 today, about halfway from alpine and home, at about 1230-1pm?  Traffic was stopped in both directions, four ambulences, a few police and a shouldered Audi.  Seemed to be some sort of organized ride with the amount of cyclists that were pulled off to the side of the road.  Looked like a mess.

I hope injuries aren't too severe.  Be safe y'all.

I assume the are getting ready to pave it but there was no indication when it would be done

CHURCHILL!

Beware: the police were out ticketing for going through red lights on RSD at 9AM this morning even with a full stop.
