I am looking for a route to get from Storm King to hwy 293 - that is, climb Storm King (South to North) towards Cornwall and then to get back to Bear Mountain/Seven Lakes Road, I see there is Mountain Road just before the town of Cornwall (after descending Storm King on the North Side) that runs into Reservoir to Bog Meadow to Highway 293 to Highway 6 to Seven Lakes.  Does anyone know this route and the roads?

ALso, off of 9W  I see there is a Mine Road in Fort Montgomery to HWY 293 if we chose to avoid Storm King.  IS anyone familiar with this road?

thanks

Gypsy Donut in Nyack - NYCC 20% Discount on coffee and donuts

Submitted by David Schloss on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 7:19pm

Hey all - I'm the former president of the Rockland Bicycling Club and the owner of Gypsy Donut and Espresso Bar in Nyack. 

I wanted to invite all NYCC members to stop by as we're the most pro-cyclist shop in the area and we've got incredibly awesome coffee and espresso  (as well as iced coffee, iced lattes, iced tea, lemondade...) and handmade donuts. We also do fills on water bottles (weekends we put out iced water, but you can always come in for bottle fills inside), have a pump, keep a multi-tool behind the bar and we're going to start leading shop rides soon.

There's a discount of 20% for all NYCC members and your friends. Just come in and say you're with NYCC and it's yours.

Hello everyone,

I rode with the group Jody was in.

Anyone on Strava?

Thanks and great ride this morning,

Tony Busino

p.s. Can we petition the local news stations to start including Central Park traffic in their traffic reports?
