Group Ride (Sat & Sun)

10705 comments · 111606 views
Route from Brooklyn Bridge is up the West Side Highway and usually cutting over to Riverside Dr. via the 72nd Street Dog Run (though that can vary). I've been on rides where we've meet Kissenas along the West Side Highway around 8:20. Better to meet at GWB at 9:00 am if you can't make the 8:00 am BB departure, though. 
Agree with Kayt, its probably best to meet at the GW rather than trying to catch people on the way.  That being said, getting to 12th st at the west side path about 8:25 I usually catch or get caught by those coming from the BB - riding slower/ faster dependent on my timeliness helps as well.

I'm sure if someone wanted to wait along the path and got to a point early you could meet up with people on the way, but in the winter it doesn't sound too fun.
The bunch is usually at 23rd St around 8:15am, 72nd street just before 8:30am. If you want to join the group as they ride up, simply leave a few minutes earlier and ride south towards them to meet them as they ride up the W-Side bike path.
This weekends rides sound awesome- shame I missed out on them but I've been battling some knee issues recently. All good advice from Marc, John, et al. Can't wait until I can get back out there again. Maybe this weekend I'll hang on the back for a few hours if my body cooperates. 
Who is going out Saturday?

Who is going out Sunday?

I can do Sunday, not sure about Saturday yet.


I am up for Saturday 8/9am. 

Bradley to Nyack to Matties café for change-up maybe? Be warned, you will be waiting for my X-mas-powered-climbing-challenged ass when the road goes up. #Gravy
I'm in for both days. 8am BB.
Let's dance
Johnny and I went head to head with Josh in tow, on what must have been the most beautiful day in the history of the universe.

Guess who won?


[Spoiler]Everyone. [/spoiler]
I am going to head out to the velodrome for laps galore on the track bike Sunday morning (12/28) . Time tbd based on how the weather forecast shapes up, looking to beat the rain, probably going around 8am.

Any and all are welcome to join (road or track bikes) - probably going to ride about 160 laps \ 40 miles .

One of Mattie's customers' "winter bike". Pretty trick. image
Will probably hit Cunningham tomorrow on the cross bike. Around 9:30 am for about 2+ hours.

Will try to drag my bloated carcass out tomorrow. Will definitely be doing the "slow and easy" route to Piermont.
I'll be out there tomorrow. Hopefully it won't rain.
Raining. Bummer. I'm out.
Same.
Ditto
I went out today. Nobody was at the GWB around 9:12 when I rolled thru and I didn't see much of anybody out on the roads either. It was nice, generally. Wet, but no real rainfall. Knocked out 58 miles or so in the hinterlands of deepest New Jersey. Overall good day. Next weekend will be colder and will also rain according the weather reports today. Still going to brave it-- Hope to see some faces out there!

Craig,
Sorry I didn't join you.  I was feeling banged up from hitting a wrought iron fence on Saturday (had to one-up Sharma) and with most of my family sick and everyone I expected out sending regrets, I assumed no one was going.  It looked like a nice day.  Now I'm sick.  Could have used the time outside.  

next time.   I rarely get deterred by rain.  (for those who are, get neoprene gloves and booties, a real rain jacket, backscratcher fender and wind-front bib tights and you should be able to manage.)
Hi All-

I'm planning to ride 4 hrs New Years Day (Thurs) and again on Friday. Crappy weather Sat and Sun (snow and rain is in the forecast) will dictate shorter 2hr or so rides for the weekend. Aiming for 10AM GWB Thurs and Fri. Come one, come all...
dude, stop effing with the formula. it's 8am BB and 9am GWB.
If weather holds, you know it:

Cunningham Park tomorrow (Dec 31st 2014) on Cross bikes. Around 10:30 am for about 2 hours.

Happy new year Kissena.
Will do a few laps in Prospect Park today -- Jan 1st 2015!

Anyone going out tomorrow (Sat)?
Yeah, I'm likely. 8am BB.
Cool. I'll be there.
