Rain all day.

Cold.

High winds.

Not my idea of fun.

See you all on a better ride day.

Looks like another rainy Saturday.

We hope to see you on another ride.

The weather gurus seem to agree - tomorrow will be a good day to clean your closets, not ride your bike. 

Saturday's forecast: rain, high of 53º. Monday's forecast: sunny, high of 73º.

I am a weather wussy.

Conclusion: Tomorrow's ride is rescheduled for Monday. B-18/19. Same time, same place, same route: 9:15-Boathouse-60 mi. -River Rd (aka HH Drive)>Sneden's Landing>Bradley>Tweed>Tallman>Ike.

Hi All,

There is stiill room for 4 more on this Sunday's  100 mile ride from Montauk to Dix Hills with a stop for dinner at my Mom in Dix Hills. Train leaves Penn 6:45AM / Jamaica 7:10 AM.  The route I have is 101 miles with 2940 feet elevation gain. Maximum elevation 282 feet at mile 95.3 . Noticeable climbs: mile 12.4 for 1.4 mile (+160 feet looks like reaches almost 4% at one point); mile 85.9  for 250 feet gain in 9.4 miles with a max gradient of 7% (followed by a 100 feet elevation loss in about .2 miles max gradient almost 5% and rollers for a mile then it's downhill for 1.2 miles, left and mild downgrade for another half mile to dinner).

from South to North:  The new restaurant opposite the NJ end of GWB bikepath and next to EconoLodge will open soon named "GW Grill".

IT's wet but do-able. Ride on.

I'm going to be in Ireland for about a week in July and would love to get in some riding. Does anyone have suggestions for either road or (easy) mountain biking?

I've read about this 42km rail trail that looks interesting: http://www.greenway.ie/Trail-MN-01.html but other thoughts are welcome.

I have received a few phone calls asking whether the weekend is happening.  The answer is a solid YES!  This weekend has never been cancelled; we don't let the forecast of rain stop us.  Pack layers since the forecast ranges from high 30s to low 70s.  If someone forgets their sunscreen, then it will be sunny.  If we all pack rain gear, it won't rain.  Whatever the weather, we are going to have a great time!  See you all in the Berkshires.
