Group Ride (Sat & Sun)

10705 comments · 111606 views
As mentioned, I am planning on hitting the Cunningham trails on the cross bicycle, tomorrow, labor day, around 9:30 am.

Will play effort/length by a ear, but probably about 2ish hours on the cross bike fun.

Let me know if interested to coordinate meetup, here or text: 347.225.1058

come join, will be fun and great practice!
Lots of fun today! That little gravel/dirt section we did really is pushing me to get/build up a cross bike.
Anyone up for a ride tomorrow? Meet at 8:00a at BB and 9:00a at GWB.
John Powell did Saturday (how did it go?)  JP is doing Sunday.  9am at the GWB.
Since no one met me at the bridge, I tried to see if I could meet up with the southbound rocket ride.
Didn't.

to do something a bit different, I kept the route relatively flat, making my way over to the base of the Orchard climb, and then headed for the Hudson, where I followed the dirt trail along the river back to Nyack.  Then hustled home.

Who's joining the New Member Ride tomorrow? I'll be out there.
That was cancelled John, I deleted it from the calendar earlier in the week. oopsies.
No worries. Anyone want to meet up to ride toward Piermont tomorrow morning? Likely my last ride on that route before we move. 8:00a BB or 9:00a GWB.
@JohnPowell I’ll be there at the GWB. @RobertPeras May join as well 
This ride is so temping... Such a good bunch of people. However, after the TAN ride I had today I got to ease the load. Come over to the Bike Jumble after the ride, it's there until 16:00. I live 37 steps from there, got beer.
@DotanGreenvald you’re not going to Piermont today??? You’re dead to me
@JohnPowell  I'll be at the GWB at 9.
Sorry... was up all night with the baby. Won’t make it after all. What’s that phrase about life having a mind of its own while you’re making plans? 🤷🏼‍♂️
life is what happens when you are busy making other plans ;)
@JohnPowell

Bummer you couldn't make it.  We did wait til 9:20 in the hopes that we could take you on one last tour.

Le Sigh.

Ben, Bobby, Erik, Jason, Ricky, myself.  

Nevertheless, we persisted.  Ricky turned back on River Road.  We stopped at Piermont to empty, refill, and clean.  Then we climbed Ash, which convinced Bobby his injured toe needed an easier time.  He went back, the rest rode onto the rail trail and took it to Nyack, then Broadway through Nyack to the trail at Nyack Beach to Rockland Lake.  Around Rockland lake to Valley Cottage, then West Nyack, and back.  Was hoping to go through the old asylum grounds, but it was blocked off.

Good times.

@mugwump Great ride today! Excellent route. Definitely saving this one for later. Thanks for leading this one. 

Edit: adding some pics of the deluxe gravel sections 


Potentially looking for a super hilly route tomorrow, anyone know some good recommendations?

I was think climbing up to bear and back.
After cutting today’s ride short I’m in for a ride to bear tomorrow. 
Riding in the park tomorrow with Redbeard, 0745 meet for 0800 start. Chill laps on a red bike*.

*bike color optional 
Sunday, 9:30ish am, will head out to Cunningham and ride the trails on my cyclocross bike.

Riding single track with friends is the best. Come join me, let me know if interested here or text: 347.225.1058
I'm racing on Sunday but thinking about doing an early morning loop in the park on Saturday to get some hours in for the week. Say 6:30am at GAP, 90min-2hr easy with some openers.

Hi Eloy. I'll meet you there. I'll text you tonight.
@RobertMullen I may hit the park tomorrow morning.
BB 8, GWB 9
Anyone going to the GWB Sunday?  I'm thinking of getting there at 9, making it interesting.
I went.  Word had it a few ex-Kissenas would also be showing up.

One did,

We went inland.
