Group Ride (Sat & Sun) - Forum Archive

Feb 19, 2017 at 01:40 AM

I was limited on time today so completed the TAN workout on my own on Long Island. Sorta like a spirited group ride or race (by one person!) without the same highs and lows as a race.

Anyway, I will be at the GWB Sunday morning. I hear that Bertucco will be there doing a endurance wormhole ride which might be a nice alternative to Rockland Lake.

Couldn't make it out this morning, but I'm going to be doing some easy recovery laps in the park around noon if anyone wants to join.

Glorious weather out there today. Max, Sebastein, JP, Sean, Bruce, Brendan, Nials and I rolled out of the GWB on the warmest day in who knows how long. Marc caught up and then headed off on his wormhole ride. Sean, JP and I headed to Rockland Lake while the rest of the group sought out warm delusions coffee (been watching TWin Peaks lately). Ended up doing a spirited pace line with Will Schneider's group on 9W. Hope we get more days like this

good weekend, lovely weather. hope it stays like this! (thursday forecast high 60s?!) Team Tempo had some issues today when we encountered pain but no ibuprofen and then the Weather Channel train which, for some reason, made us all forget we were supposed to be in zone 3...oh well! also, i went to the runcible spoon for the first time in a year or two

In case you missed it in the Grant's Tomb thread, pre-ride the course this Sunday at 8am before the All Hands On Deck ride at 9am, standard GWB meetup.

Hoping to get some solid team riding in and then have to scoot back home earlyish.

Don't fancy doing hot laps around GT in 20 degrees Sunday. Let's plan on normal 9am GW and we can do a couple when we come back past.

Anyone going out Sunday for the 9am?

I expect to be there. coming off a rest week and looking ahead to snow, it seems that getting out tomorrow is a good idea.

Brendan Rigby

i'm not going to make it out tomorrow, sick, taking some rest

Smart move. Probably should have done the same. so much for my rest week. Much of my family is sick, I felt a sore throat coming on Friday night, was so-so Saturday, and then feel it coming on again now.

I saw about 12 people out on bikes in total.

Brendan Rigby

yeah i was feeling so so on friday, thought i just needed some sleep, but then didn't feel much better on saturday. doing grant's definitely didn't help, haha

I'm heading to prospect for a couple hours of endurance / tempo riding, if anyone wants to join! Text me @ 954.540.2092

Drive over 9W and got a good workout in before flurries started at 12:30. Only saw 5 other cyclists on 9W over a 3 hour period. Wow.

Driving over GWB I saw guys plowing bike/walk path. Maybe it will open tomorrow if there isn't much accumulation. Note that in the 3 hours between my two bridge crossings it did not look like they had gone very far. They are almost certainly having to clear lots of thick heavy ice.

We could meet at the GWB on the NYC side at 8:50. If it's closed, I can take folks up north through the Bronx to Westchester.

Any takers?
