We realize we may have to cxl or re-schedule this ride due to the threat of severe t'showers in the afternoon. By starting one hour earlier we may be able to get the ride in. Nobody wants to be on the top of Perkins Memorial Drive during a T'shower. Plus, there may be MNRR issues, also. Stay tuned.

Hi. Can someone please forward me this ride as a tcx file? My email is [email protected]

I would like to upload it ASAP into my garmin. 

Thanks!

Dear fellow Riders & NYCC Members:

I have just become a member of NYCC after registering for the first time to participate in the ENY 2013 (looking forward!). I have been cycling for three years and I love it! Especially the various century rides I have been participating in. I am looking forward to making friends here and to meeting riders to hit the road with on occasion.

More fantastic news from Amtrak: A pilot program is starting to test out bikes on board the Ethan Allen route.

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!
