9W & NJ/NY ride report - Thurs 3PM

Submitted by SRodetis on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 3:24pm

Many blacked out areas and not all have generators.

 

9W north highly passable as are many roads. We only went to Palisades Market, then cut west toward the reservoirs.  On side roads, occasional "get off and walk round a tree/wires . . or chose to go under them".  Also numerous narrow spots where debris at side of road forces cyclist into traffic lanes. Not all cars were patient.

 

Not many stores open.   Food/bev sources open at present are : Palisades Market on 9W; Tenafly Deli, Rivervale Deli.

 

 

 

Hudson Greenway Closed again @ 59th

Submitted by CWaaser on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 3:16pm

As of 3:00 p.m. today (Thurs.) the Greenway is closed north of 59th St. for as far up as it is in a City park.  I believe the section that is in a State park is open.  (Not sure where that starts.)  This time they have put sturdy fencing at the 59th St. entrance to keep cyclists and pedestrians off.

Submitted by nymultisport on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 2:21pm

C/B Ride, ~40 miles, 9:30 AM, from Eleanor Roosevelt Statue (72nd & Riverside.)

No advance sign-up. No waiting around. Just show-up.

Plan is to head downtown, cross the Manhattan Bridge, head east past the Brooklyn Navy Yard, thence north on Kent, etc. to the Pulaski Bridge, then continue north on Vernon to our favorite pizzeria in the shadows of the TriBoro Bridge.

Possible stop at the new FDR Memorial on Roosevelt Island on the return route. Many return options available.

Email us if desired. Otherwise, just show up!

Does anyone know what the situation is on any of those?

I'm thinking it's washed out. Anybody know?

East River Greenway

Does anyone know if the East River Greenway is open north of 59th Street? I'd like to avoid the added traffic on 1st Ave if possible, but I have no idea how affected the greenway was on the east side.
