Solo early morning jaunt to Piermont for a coffee. A bit drizzly but sunny by the time I got back to Brooklyn.
Saw a collection of Kissenas northbound as I headed back into the city.
While headed south, a traffic cop stopped the bike lane at the cruise ship driveway. After he let about 25 cars through I got impatient and started to shoot across when there was a bit of a larger gap. He actually went for me, trying to physically block my way. I dodged around him and said "That's too long. You need to let the bikes through." He yelled back "I hope you get hit!". Ah, New York City.
Who is down for something a little different on Saturday weather permitting? It’s been a while since I’ve done the north country/south county/ Putnam county rail trail system. It’s about 100 miles to Poughkeepsie or about 65 to Peekskill. Metro north back.
Since I'm not sure this chest thing will be squashed by Sat, you all should plan it and I'll join if I can. that being said, I can make that start time work.
I'm leading a ride for Redbeard on Saturday to Bear Mountain, beers/train home at Peekskill. Its 100% no drop, regroup at top of hills, water stops, no hammer. I'm posting here in case some folks would like to get some long miles in, and perfect for new Kissena members. This is the route https://www.strava.com/activities/738737239
There's a pretty decent range of skill from the RSVP's, but some of the stronger riders have expressed interest in continuing up to Newburgh via Storm King, train back from Beacon. Here is that route https://www.strava.com/activities/1096709018
I plan to spend some time riding the Cunningham trails Sunday on my cyclocross bike.
Will probably be there around 8:30am and likely ride 2:30~3 hours. Come join me, the only thing more fun than riding single track on skinny tires, is doing it with friends.
Inspired (not really) by Phil Gaimon, I will try to PR the "How the west was won" segment. Come watch me fail.
Will, John and I had a nice ride to Piermont this morning. John converted his bike mid-ride to a no speed, a rare event that we luckily caught on video: https://youtu.be/zEoXGnfhkJo
