The weather and company was fantastic all weekend
Clocked 242 miles this weekend with friends  <3
This Sunday we have our CT ride! Right now weather is looking a bit dicey. Instead of going to CT, I was planning on going up to White Plains and doing a loop in Westchester. Check out the route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/14746059

I'll post on Saturday as to whether or not we are a go depending on weather.
@StephenAschkenes What time do you think we would be back in the city?
Was thinking of taking the 7:09 that gets in it 7:45. 5 hour ride or so. Maybe catch a 1-2pm train and get back 45 min after
@StephenAschkenes
Very likely joining you for this ride , but may end up meeting you guys in white plains
Tomorrow morning (Saturday) we're having a Prospective Members ride.  Right now we have 3 people signed up, but we'd love to also get a good showing of members out.  

8am @ GAP.  If you're gonna be late, just wait.  We'll loop around.

Likely grabbing coffee at Winner in the Park afterward.

Come ride bikes.
Hey, I’ll join you tomorrow for the new members ride. Anyone wanna head up towards GWB afterward?
Meet at the entrance to the platform at grand central at 7:00AM for the 7:09 train to white plains tomorrow. Platform for the train can be found in the main terminal day off. Reply if you’re planning on coming!
I’ll be at GWB at 9 Saturday. Most likely will hit Clausland and Rockland lake. Come join me for a post “air quality apocalypse” ride 
I’ve been sick for the last week but am feeling better and will try to make the Sunday 9W ride tomorrow. I’m probably good just to Piermont cause I’ve got stuff in the afternoon. BB 8AM/GWB 9:15am
Ill be there for the 9W ride, BB @ 8.
Good ride with Mark today. Saw a turtle on south mountain road in Nyack that we stopped to make sure the cars didn’t run it over. Was out good deed of the day. Treated ourselves to double espressos 


Some solid pacelining on our way back to GWB today.


@StephenAschkenes for the next upstate ride (have my calendar marked for July 16) what do you think about partnering up with @JohnOlsson up in the Catskills? I saw on Strava he's got a club together up there and offered to help organize a ride.

It wouldn't be accessible by train as far as I know but we can hopefully try to carpool, I have a car and rear rack for 2 bikes on the back but probably can squeeze a third bike/person in the car too. 
BB 8am Saturday 👍
I'll meet you along the way

The perfect “wet” morning ride 
Expect to be at the GWB, Jersey side, by 9:10am.
Long, melty ride out there yesterday.  It got progressively harder to crank out watts as the day went on.  Hoping it was just an adaptation ride and the subsequent hot days will be easier.

I like this route.  Most of it would be pretty simple as a group, as there are several 10km+ single-road stretches.

I’m going to head north tomorrow 
8am BB
I’ll be there too, unless the smoke is going to be much worse than today
from today 
Anyone for Sunday morning?

I'm probably going to go for two hours at most.  
I’m going to be at BB Monday 8am 
so, what do did I do on my two-hour ride, the day after 97 miles on the bike (with a 40-mile race at the start)?

VO2 Max intervals, of course.  Each climb different.  2745' of climbing in 34 miles.  

5 of them, all 4-5 minutes in length.

I’m in for the standing Sunday ride tomorrow. I’ll be at BB at 8, GWB by 9:15.
A couple of warm days over the bridge 

I can't ride at all Saturday.

Anyone going over the bridge Sunday?
There was a plan for a Metronorth ride this Sunday, right? Either way, I'm up for a big ride
Anyone doing GWB this Sunday? I’d like to, but not solo.
