Probably asked before, but could not find the answer.

Is there a way to go from Sebago lake in Harriman state park to Bear mountain without having to get on Palisades? 

We were riding north on Seven lakes drive when we got to the roundabout…  in seemed that in order to get to Bear, we had to get on the palisades (decided to turn around).

Thanks

South NJ Bike Clubs

Submitted by nicku33 on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 6:33am

I'm looking for reccomendatations for a friend whose dad lives in South NJ, and is looking for groups to cycle with. He tried a local bike shop but the group was a bit fast for him and he got sick of being dropped. 

Any reccomendations for groups in that area that organize speed-graded group rides ?

Lost Wheel

Submitted by gpeng on Sun, 06/23/2013 - 9:12pm

Had a bit of hectic day yesterday, and while packing up my bike and my friend's bike into my car, I managed to leave my front wheel on the grass or leaned against the stone wall next to a parking meter on Hudson Terrace near the GWB in Fort Lee.

I realized my stupidity a couple of hours later and sped back, but alas no wheel to be found.

In case anybody found it, please let me know - it's a red-rimmed handbuilt and I can name the sub-components.  And of course, a reward.

Thanks,

George

Sun screen recommendations 
 
Today I had an issue with sun screen dripping in my eyes.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a sun screen that won't drip in my eyes?
Thanks
 

Seeking route from Bear Mt to New Paltz

Submitted by Komanoff on Fri, 06/21/2013 - 6:56pm

A month from now I'm riding from NYC to Montreal with my younger son. Alex, age 15, is a strong cyclist so long as conditions aren't too adverse (rough weather, scary traffic, getting lost).

Day 2 of our adventure is from the Bear Mt Inn to my cousin's house in New Paltz. I know there will be heavy-duty hills/mountains, esp'ly toward the start.

I've mapped out a few routes but am not confident of my ability to stay on course (virtually the entire terrain will be new to me). If someone has a reasonably no-brainer turn sheet, please send it my way.

Many thanks.
