Running late, I'll be in hot pursuit on the bike path, 
Well that hurt...my throat mostly as I've not ridden outside in awhile...sorry y'all had to see my pale, unshaven legs.  Sorry bout all those allergy induced snot rockets (I'm with you Sir Bradley)...Jules is soon to be free of high rent, hipsters & NY attitude...free as a bird...and this bird you can not change.
As far as my front brake playing the intro to Freebird for 2 hours...YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

Well that was a bit emotional. Thanks so much guys - it really means a lot to me that you all came out. Some from as far as the Island of Longs and Eloy even interrupted his #hotness practice to pace us for a bit.

Good times indeed! Thanks one and all.

Eloy where is that? Also might join you for a bit on the trails, though I might try to do more traditional cross stuff on grass.

That's the pavement-iest part of Cunningham ever.  Let me know which entrance.
GWB Sunday 9am.

any joiners?

Ya, I'll join in. I haven't been over the bridge in a while...
withdrawing from tomorrow morning, sorry
Great ride to Piermont today. Greg, Will, Giacomo and I took low road. Those three attacked some hills while I chomped some coffee cake and watched Compton claw back at Zeven. Then Brian showed up for some paceline back. Good times.

I expect to ride by the tennis parking lot at 9:30, will be at the west side entrance 9:35ish. Text works to find each other too: 347.225.1058
I overslept and missed my window to make it on time, so I'm out. Have fun guys!
Eloy finally got me to enjoy Cunningham today.  Had an excellent time, thanks dude. Sorry I got lost for a while there and being patient with me. There is a fast flowing, don't-have-to-worry-about-logs section on the east side that felt awesome to ride fast on.

To continue my praise for a 1x drivetrain, it is at least 300% better than the ancient 3x7 setup I had going.  Shifted flawlessly. Eloy is a he-man so rocks a 27t, but I certainly appreciate the 34t on my setup.


yang is and rides like the fire and the wind, hot and fast.
anyone up for Piermont tomorrow? 9am GWB
I will make every effort to be there. 8 a.m. BB too!
After a week of this 
I am ready to roll.
Planning on being at BB at 8. It's gonna be cold and windy
Planning on heading to Cunningham on Sunday.

10:30am at the trails, for about 2:30 hours.

Will be cold but the trails will keep us warm.

Single track is awesome with friends, come join me.
