Independence Day weekend group ride, anyone?
Group Ride (Sat & Sun)
Jul 01, 2014 at 04:54 PM
I'll be around David!
Jul 01, 2014 at 07:31 PM
Anyone with a preference for Saturday or Sunday? I'm open for either.
Jul 01, 2014 at 09:11 PM
Either one is good because I am FREE!!!
Jul 01, 2014 at 10:08 PM
Bear?
Jul 01, 2014 at 10:23 PM
Sunday is better for me if we're going long.
Jul 01, 2014 at 11:32 PM
If I don't go mtbing, I'd be game for bear on Sunday. Something long and hard
Jul 02, 2014 at 01:58 AM
Thinking about a nice spin on Saturday. 60-80 miles. Thinking about zone 2'ing that jam... so moderate.
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?
Thinking about 8am BB folks.
Jul 02, 2014 at 02:08 AM
I'm thinking about some family man (...er person) hours. Like 6am BB...
Jul 02, 2014 at 02:52 PM
@Jules - If I manage to wake up early enough, I'm in for family person hours on Sat, but might be wheel sucking. I'd like to save something for Sunday's long ride.
Jul 02, 2014 at 04:53 PM
Most likely in for Sunday.
Most definitely out for 6am.
Jul 02, 2014 at 05:38 PM
What is "Sunday's long ride?" Wormhole, Rockland Lake, Orchards, Bear Mountain? Who's the ring leader?David Yang said:@Jules - If I manage to wake up early enough, I'm in for family person hours on Sat, but might be wheel sucking. I'd like to save something for Sunday's long ride.
Vlad, I very well might be up for your Saturday ride. We could do an Inland Jersey special. Upper Saddle River, for example, even with the commute to and from Brooklyn, puts you in that mileage range.

No solid plans yet, but Wes's Bear suggestion seems pretty good. Open to other suggestions and ride leaders.Marc Bertucco said:

Orchards could be nice. I'm coming off of a midseason break and not sure I wanna go from 0 to 116.
Jul 03, 2014 at 04:48 PM
I'm down with that.
Jul 03, 2014 at 04:53 PM
I'm in for either. I'd be interested in a more casual pace if we head up to bear since I'm not in good enough shape to hammer there and back.
Jul 03, 2014 at 07:42 PM
I'm down for donut/endurance pace to orchards.
Jul 03, 2014 at 08:16 PM
Anyone also up for a straight forward jaunt to Piermont and back on Saturday? Looking to keep the pace higher and the stops short to get back in time for potential afternoon summer fun.
Jul 03, 2014 at 08:20 PM
As if there's anything more fun in the summer than an afternoon of bike riding. Jeesh....get it together Konrad! :-)konrad said:Anyone also up for a straight forward jaunt to Piermont and back on Saturday?

Definitely looking to get out both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday hopefully long and hard, then Sunday is just whatever feels fun.
Jul 04, 2014 at 08:58 PM
So, tomorrow, Saturday, Joaquin and I are confirmed for BB8 GW9 for a long hard ride. Any other takers?
The plan is Rockland Lake by way of Alpine, Bradley, and Watertower, and then we hammer the heck out of things down 9W until we hit the GW bridge again.
Stops are "JP style" (just long enough to fill bottles and buy treats to eat on the bike). We can do some regrouping on the longer hills as needed, but in general, you should probably only come along if you're up for a very challenging ride, or if you're cool with breaking off and doing your own thing when you feel like it (which in my experience is likely to happen about the time Joaquin hits his groove coming back from between Nyack and Piermont. Dude hammers.)

^^CORRECTION: that's 7 BB 8 GW
Jul 04, 2014 at 10:59 PM
Dang. Anyone want to meet up at the BB at 8, GWB at 9?
Jul 04, 2014 at 11:48 PM
I'll be at BB at 8 Saturday.
Jul 04, 2014 at 11:49 PM
Same
Jul 05, 2014 at 12:02 AM
If I can wake up early enough, 6am BB. If not I will join the 8am BB crew.
Jul 05, 2014 at 12:43 AM
Me too Vlad...I'm in. 9am GWB start. I'd like to do a 60-mile-ish ride bridge to bridge. New Jersey wormhole style. Hopefully the gang has time for such a thing.vlad said:Dang. Anyone want to meet up at the BB at 8, GWB at 9?

Nice group ride today. Lots of Kissena's at the start, two groups. 1/2 went up to Piermont, while Vlad, Patrick, Wes and I went out to Upper Saddle River, NJ for fun times. Zone 2-ish on flats and rollers, more aggressive stylings on the climbs. 56-ish miles bridge to bridge. Fun times!
There was a guy in an NYU kit at the start, he mentioned something about emailing with Whitey. Anyway, then he disappeared, and I was worried that we weren't welcoming enough, (I was sort of spacey at the time myself) but the guys assured me that they invited him to ride with us. So that's good.
Also, good to see Eloy out there...he managed to instigate Vlad and I into a townline sprint. Vlad took it. Hopefully we'll see more of the original KCC cross fanatic this fall!

Konrad and I hit up 9W to Mattie's where he proceeded to go at a "moderate" pace. I had to do my best cuddles impression by clenching my jaw, and hung on for dear life.
