Weathercast says thunderstorms on the mountain.

Hi all. As I recall, bikes are once again okay on outbound/off peak NJT trains these days, right? (thanks in large part to Neile W's efforts--thank you, thank you!). Does anybody have a view on whether I'm likely to be ok taking my bike from Penn Station to Princeton Junction on a Thursday morning? Website implies yes, but thought I'd take a poll.

As background, I'm planning an NYC to DC ride over just two days, and I think I'll need a transit leg in there to keep it fun-long rather than 'i hate this'-long. Current plan is early AM train to Princeton Junction, then 120mi to Holtwood, PA on day 1, followed by 100mi to DC on day 2.

Thanks!

Of note, the odious stretch north of Lawernce Street at Dobbs Ferry.

Also south of Elmsford. However, the latter has a few foot length sections which have been excavated but not yet filled. You can cut to the side of these without a problem.

But when will we see the Van Cortlandt Park section user friendly? To grant passage to a runner going the opposite way on the first wide, muddy piece I cut to the less than perfect eastern side only to find ruts dug up by motorized wheels. Avoiding these I touched foliage on the fence only to find poison ivy growing in the mix. No good deed goes unpunished. 

"As the name would indicate, they specialize in providing insurance coverage to cyclists and their bikes. The A-Rated insurance company was founded last year by Dave Williams. He is a lifelong cyclist and got the idea after spending 20 years in the insurance industry watching customer after customer be disappointed with their home owner’s or renter’s insurance when it came to bicycle coverage."

Does anyone have any recommendations for an attorney with some bicycle law experience?

Thanks

Hiya, 

Thursday morning's 'On the Dole' ride has been canceled due to the extraordinary heat. I'll be at a city cooling center after cashing my unemplyment check...

Can anyone recommend a good endocrinologist who is familiar with endurance athletes?

Hi - I'm riding up to Wingdale, NY in Dutchess County to my kid's summer camp and am looking for some route advice.

I live on W 100th street so my plan is to take the 1 train up to Van Cortland park and ride the saw mill river parkway bike path (south county trailway) to the North County Trailway to the putnam trailway and eventually on to a variety of roads that get me up into dutchess.

My naive attempt is here:

Any suggestions/alternatives apreciated. 

Also, anyone interested in heading up the same direction is welcome company.  I ride 18-20.  You can take the train home from wingdale.

Thanks,

Josh
