Gran Fondo Garmin File

Submitted by smwdr on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 12:33pm

Last year I was able to find a Garmin file for the route.  This year I can only find a cue sheet without any uploadable file.  Does anyone have a route file for this year's Gran Fondo or can direct me to it's location, if any?  Thanks!

House available for Berkshires weekend

Submitted by cchaput on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 6:23pm

Hello,

It's about time to start planning for Memorial Day weekend! My wife and I have a simple but comfortable house on a beautiful, secluded property to rent for the Berkshires weekend - and other week/weekends year round. It's located in Hillsdale, NY close to the intersection of Route 22 and 23 (about 10 miles from the base of Bash Bish) and would be a perfect location for cyclists coming up for the Berkshires weekend.

yankee stadium

Submitted by MBruckner on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 3:30pm

Anyone ever parked their beater bike outside of the new Yankee Stadium while watching a game? I'm heading up there tonight and am considering locking my bike to a street sign, etc. I think that the folks at the stadium will probably not let me bring in my helmet, which is my biggest concern.

Any thoughts on locking up a bike and helmet out front of the stadium for 3 hours? Alternatives, other than mass transit?

 

Thanks!
