Late notice but, given the forecast, I've decided to drive up Friday morning at this point and maybe ride up there (i.e. from Sheffield) on the off-chance the weather has cleared.

In case anyone is  interested, I have room for two other passengers in the car (I can take three total including myself).

Hi.  New member here.

Is anyone here a cyclist from Queens?  I'm looking to perhaps lead some rides in the Queens area but I want some experience riding with a group first.

Come join the WCC for a great Memorial Day ride from Cold Spring Metro North Station!  We call it "Two Bridges for Memorial Day": In honor of the day, we will visit significant sites and scenic sights alike as we ride through this famous area of our region, filled with history of this country's eventful and fateful fight for freedom.  Arrive by 8:30 to leave at 8:45 (as not to interfere with the parade).

We just decided to change the route because of the bad weather forecast for tomorrow.  We'll be catching the 6:03am train to Wassaic and doing a shorter, easier route to Sheffield/Great Barrington in the Berkshires.  Please see ride listing for the details.

NYC Parks made a detailed presentation of its rationale for the hybrid paved-dirt treatment which includes considerable environmental remediation.  Rich Conroy and I joined a roughly even mix of community and cyclist-wheelchair speakers.  NY Roadrunners President Mary Wittenberg spoke *against* the Parks proposal, favoring a 100% crushed stone solution.  Committee finally voted 3 yes, 3 no, 2 abstain on a resolution favoring the Parks proposal.  The proposal goes to full CB8 in June.  All these votes are advisory.  Parks can proceed regardless.

Hello All,

We are not able to go to the Berks due to an unexpected medical situation, and have an available room at the historic Wainwright Inn in downtown Great Barrington.  Breakfast is included.  The inn is a favorite of the club members, and is within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops.  It is also a close ride to high school (for A&B riders), and down the street from the Day's Inn (for B&C riders).  It's rated as the best inn in town by several site including TripAdvisor, and the proprietors are very friendly and accomodating -- we've stayed there for the past 4 years and can vouch to that.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to arrive in the Berkshires with a bike?  So far I am dependent on good weather to be able to get there.  That may not be happening.  If you are driving and have space for a person and a bike, I'd certainly be only to happy to share expenses.

A massage therapist at the end of an organized ride in Sonoma reccomended Cordyceps for better oxygen in your muscles or something. I'm always a sceptic, but curious if anyone has ever heard of this?

The rides are posted for people who want to take a train to/from the Berkshires.  Go to Rides/events, select Upcoming Rides and signup for a space on a train/ride. See you in the Berkshires.

As a possible Plan B for the weekend, I am thinking of taking the train up Saturday morning and riding to Sheffield from either the Wassaic or Southeast train station. Is anyone else interested in doing so? I'm willing to ride at anything from a B17 to A20/21 pace. Please email me if interested. ...Roommate still needed too.   -Rod Ciardullo
