Hello All,

I’m a recent C-SIG graduate and I’m looking for ride marshals and SAG drivers for my charity bike ride I organize, the NYC Tour de Cure.  The routes are 20M (Ft. Lee), 45M (Piermont), 62.5M (Nyack), 100M (Bear Mountain).

It’s a great ride and you’ll be able to enjoy Brooklyn Brewery beers and Mable’s Smoke House BBQ at the finish line!

DATE: Sunday, June 2nd

Location: Hudson River Park's Pier 84

Please email me at [email protected] if you’re interested.

The following (in blue) was spoken as part of a eulogy of a wealthy man.

We're planning a variation of last Summer's Westport, CT Pedal & Paddle on Saturday, August 4th.

Instead of MN to Darien, biking to Westport, paddling on LI Sound, biking to Fairfield, then MN home, we want to bike from the GWB to Piermont, launch kayaks at the Gazebo, paddle up-river under the Tappan Zee Bridge (awesome,) lunch at Nyack Town Park (maybe have Runcible send sandwiches down to the water side,) then paddle and pedal back to the city. Take it from me, those lovely homes we see when riding on River Road are even more spectacular from the Hudson side.

If enough members want to participate, we'll hire an outfitter, and put this together as an official A/B/C ride. Let us know.

Weather forecast, clear this morning, 70% chance of thunderstorms in the early afternoon. The ride, unfortunately, is cancelled. I plan to re-list the same ride for next Saturday.

It's not bad outside now but 70-80% chance of rain, t'storms & wind predicted for Newburgh, Carmel, etc. Bummer.

Weather forecast does not look promising.  

rain/thunder still predicted likely throughout the day....bummed to have to cancel the ride.

It looks pretty certain that we are getting rain tonight so I am canceling the ride.

Hey all,

Anyone with local knowledge care to comment on the differences between this route:

and this one:

between Smithtown, NY and Greenport? The latter hews very closely to NYS bicycle route 25, the former sticks with Sound Avenue and Suffolk County 48 instead. IME, Sound Avenue/48 is less trafficky, but contrariwise there're more towns and services along route 25. Enough wineries on either if we want to choose one to stop at.
