I love JP wormhole rides. Revisited and passed by an old house I lived at in Nyack when I was a chain smoking 21yo punk. The hill it was at top of is just as steep as I remember it.

Indeed the burrito was excellent. I think they just won at the Vendy awards.

Alrighty non-cross racer folks: Tomorrow, Saturday 9/27 - very chill, easy ride up to Alpine or Piermont.  I would like to start at 7am Brooklyn Bridge if possible, but please reply here if 8am is preferable.

8AM Brooklyn Bridge/9AM George Washington Bridge

See ya'll there.

Sounds like a great plan. Chill sounds good and it may just be Alpine for me. It will be the maiden journey of my new steed so I will be taking it steady

Picture?

I'm down.

I'll be at the BB.

Kayt, Thierry, Vlad, Yang, Ian (riding a Fiamme equipped Italian steel museum piece -- photo please) > RR to Piermont. Back thru the forest. Great ride, Yang tore up the sprints, Vlad megawatts all day

Megawatts is right my friend. Crank axle snapped in two in the west village. Holy WTF?! Yang's got pictures. Rode the A train back to BK.

Vlad the destroyer destroyed his axle.

No bullshit

Nice work Vlad.

Dayum Vlad!

Sunday 10/5/14,

9am GWB anyone?

9am GWB , I'll be there. On a schedule\will probably do Sparkill and back.

JP what's your ride plan / timing? I may join or do FBF. Haven't decided yet.

hope to be back at the bridge by noonish.

Ok. Looks like I can't make this now. Have a good ride and stay warm.

Y'all missed a good one.

Lot's of new stuff encountered, thanks to JP for keeping NJ interesting. 

The course above was essentially a rollercoaster.  This is the vertical grind.  Behind josh is a 120-140 degree left-hand turn.  After the top, it's downhill, and then it flattens out about 300 meters before the turn, so even the guys in front have to scrub off a ton of speed before turning onto the hill.

Bummed I missed this one.

Hey team...so, it's a rare opportunity that I decide not to race a cross race on a weekend day in the Fall, but I need to save some money, and train, so I'm going out on SUNDAY for a LONG wormhole ride. Company is welcome and encouraged.

Ride parameters. Start at 9am. 4+ hours bridge to bridge minimum; 1st hour easy, active recovery, chatting, etc. After that picking up the pace to endurance/tempo. If JP comes I will try to beat his head in on at least one climb, but other than that a very social ride. Probably one stop of about 15 minutes.

Alternative: If there is specific demand of at least 4 other KCC riders, I will change my plans and lead a long SLOW group ride.

Let me know.

In, but will split off to get back to brooklyn earlier. I'd like to get some climbing in as well.

Le sigh. First hall pass in months to ride up there but I've got 4x15 just above threshold to knock out.

4 x 15???? FOUR....yikes. No rest for the weary. I'm exhausted just reading that workout. No wonder I had to tell you to slow down at Gloucester.

LOL. Going fast doesn't seem to be the problem... it's turning while going fast that seems to be my undoing :P
