The Jersey Shore
A lovely ferry ride to Sandy Hook, 73 miles on the bike down to Barnegat Inlet and back to Point Pleasant on a perfect day, excellent pizza & brew, and a lo-o-o-ong train ride home. Terrific Day! Thanks, Mike.
Ticket in CP tonight
So I was riding on the west drive and the light at 90th street was red. There was a cop car there so I slowed down, looked to see if any pedestrians wanted to cross (There were two standing on the path but they made no move to cross) then rolled through. I've done this several times before with a cop there and have never been stopped. Next thing I know I'm being pulled over along with another guy. Cop comes out and proceeds to tell me that the rule is I can't go through a red light in CP. When I tell him there was an agreeement that allowed it when the park is closed to traffice, he changes his story to say there was a pedestrian in the cross walk. Not wanting to make things worse, I gave my ID and waited for the ticket.
Website Update: July 2012
Hello...
It's been a while since I've written one of these... The last few months has seen mostly backend and ENY related work.
Early this morning, we released a check at ride sign-up. Systematically, members will only be allowed to join one ride per four hours. There is an exception for CP & PP loops. For example, one could ride loops in the morning and then to Nyack with NYCC.
We are still tweaking the messaging. If you see any issues, please drop me an email: [email protected].
Next up: ride waitlists.

Update on NJT low platform bike boarding - BAD
Somebody really screwed the pooch on the new low-platform bike boarding policy.
We had eight cyclists stranded in Port Jervis after being denied boarding on the 5:27PM out of Port Jervis. Conductors' instructions on low platform procedure was explicitly at odds with what's posted on their website. A couple hours on the phone with NJT-MNR Customer Service got us onto the 8:49PM.
Similar reports from two other cyclists in Otisville and Hoboken.
If you are making plans to bike in NJT, I'd recommend to continue to avoid low platform stations until further notice.
Hunter Loop
Did this ride happen already? If so I am curious how the roads are up there considering the hurricane hit that area hard last fall.
Tuesday "C" Ride - Bronx>Greenwich>Armonk>Valhalla>Bronx Triangle
C-Touring-pace, about 45-50 mile - Bronx>Greenwich>Armonk>Valhalla>Bronx triangle on Tuesday. Meet 9:00AM downstairs at the 241st St/Wakefield Station; last stop on the #2 line. We plan to depart promptly at 9:15 AM, so allow yourself 50-60 minutes from midtown.
Expect about 90% tree shade on our outbound route as we hop-'n-skip along the Hutch, cut through SUNY Purchase to King St., then take beautiful Bedford Rd on our way to an indoor/outdoor lunch at Mariani Gardens in Armonk. Rt 22 and the Bronx River bike path account for most of our return route.
Please let us know if you plan to join.
