Planning on Sunday
I will probably join Sunday.

Will also hit Cunningham (or some other off road park) on the cross bike Saturday and/or Monday.
Aiming for Sunday Piermont. 
OOOOO a proper group ride?!  pencil me in!

is it acceptable to ride my cross bike with fenders and panniers? or will I be booooooood off the back
i suppose i can have some archaeologists excavate my bike from the layers of rock strata that have built up around it in time for Sunday.  
@Eloy , Cunningham sounds good Saturday , whats your timing ?

Was thinking 10:30ish -- could do earlier or later, depending on what works for you.
planning on joining sunday too
I guess I'll have to try and be there on Sunday.
Sunday! 
saturday (tomorrow) i'm headed out from GWB to piermont, will do normal start time if others are in but if i dont hear from anyone i will probably start later.  i plan to just run the scheduled workout, 1 hour z2 then 3x15 sweet spot.  i'll be on my commuter tho with cross gearing so the pace might be a little... weird. and you might not want your svelte road bikes to be seen alongside me my unsightly rack and fenders!
hey man, i'd be game to ride a lil later if you're going then.

What are the times tomorrow. 8am BB 9am GWB?
Have a brunch so might hit only a portion.
@eloy yup
I checked some jersey weather webcams, roads look same as NYC. Bring fenders. 
"Feels like" 27F at 9am in NYC, Piermont 27F at 10am.
Thanks for checking John. Being as I'm yet without fenders and also have nothing else to do today, I'm gonna postpone my ride. If anybody else wants to join me at the GWB at 11, I'll be there. 
totally doable without fenders!  cmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn
off to a slow start here...

gonna watch a bit of the world cup and do prospect laps around 9~9:30 am

(edit to add: the first lap of the women's race is already nuts!! course makes national's slip and slide look like child's play!!)
Running 5 late wil catch up low road 
Four of us will be there at 9:15 at GWB
Awesome ride today, 9 of us made it to Piermont. I was late to party and unplowed side roads were a bit sketch, so took straight 9W. The others did a crash free low-road (nice skills). JP continued solo off into horizon. Watched Vos the CX boss. Miele took all State lines and Strictly? Brendan dropped bombs at gas station sprint.

Gear check: 2 x merino base plus thermal jacket, 2 x bib shorts merino socks and booties, thermal cap. SKS Fender (unless they've altered the design, their front fender doesn't work on aero road bikes).
Nice to see everyone. All y'all were looking like strongmen. JP, thanks for guiding us through the frozen low roads. Unfortunately the hidden potholes got the best of me and I pinch flatted. I had C02 but JPs full sized frame pump was irresistible and sure enough it was way faster than the mini pumps I've grown accustomed to.

Nice job at the sprints all, I had nothing in me to contest. Guess I'll have to work on that before the spring crits.

I rode my fake-locross bike with clip on SKS fenders which are aces. The combo of high BB, springy steel tubes, and uninspiring old canti brakes made it feel a lot less stable on the roads than on the trails or relatively slower (and softer) cross courses. The SRAM 1x drivetrain (40x11-28) worked flawlessly but I was spinning out on the descents and leadout before the gas station sprint.

Kit check: Merino wool jersey, winter bibs, winter leg and arm warmers, long sleeve winter jersey, light wind vest, Giro tech wool cap (my fav, pick one up at Redbeard), and regular socks. Totally forgot the neck/chin gaiter and toe covers.
looks like this sunday we have a window of no to low rain.  what say everyone? roll call!
I"ll be there.

Aye.
SATURDAY CREW!
9:00am GW's or 8:30am UWS. Lmk.
I'm in. Thinking going a bit longer/harder for Saturday And piermont easy Sunday. 
If we leave earlier Saturday I can go longer Sean. Need to be back 12:30pm.
