Away this weekend, but will be back next week/weekend for rides.

I'm in for Saturday's long ride. Not to hijack your plan, but do we really want to do a straight back and forth over that trail? How about this? https://www.strava.com/routes/3360856569459462840 

Yeah that looks cool, the stretch from Scarborough to Sleepy Hollow will be a bit busy but rest looks good to me. The benefit of the trail is avoiding traffic but I don’t mind your route!

In my experience those trails are not great on race bikes because you have to make a full stop pretty much at every road crossing to see if there's cars coming, but maybe it's different with this one, I don't know it so well.

730 at the central park grand army plaza entrance?

Eloy shared this with me once , I’ve never tried it

Lennart those stops are on a pretty short section, maybe 7-8 miles of the total trail all south of Elmsford if memory serves. I'd be a bit more worried about frequent start/stops in some of the windy surface roads, but we'll be fine either way. let's go for your route just to try something different. 

7:30am at Central Park GAP entrance is cool by me. We'll have winds from the East for the whole ride, with some high gusts. Looks like the feels-like temperature is gonna be in the 40s/50s for most of the day. 

Where is the Central Park place your a referring to?

Same question. Where is this Central Park GAP entrance?

Also, if there is a final route on strave or rwgps, please post it the definitive link. Thanks!

I put the start point for the strava route where we should meet:  https://www.strava.com/routes/3361068107776123000

for avoidance of doubt here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kTfANiw4sB1B7zuB9

see you at 7:30!

Also not to highjack route, but if we want to spare ourselves the city twice, there’s this. Trains leave on the hour back to the city and are only an hour ride back. When you factor in 2x city pedaling, prob will be comparable time wise. But I think I’m in regardless.

Well would you look at that!  There is a CP GAP.

See you fools at 730.

I have commitments Saturday that need energy so just gonna do CP laps or something. Gonna try and do Sunday.

I want to make the ride, but plans tonight might get in the way, so don’t wait if you don’t see me

C u all at CP GAP

I am probably trying to hit 9W in some form or another tomorrow, anyone have plans?

Max,
     I'm happy to meet at the GWB at 9am.  I need to be back there by 10:55.

OF NOTE: 20 MILES TO HITTING 200,000.  

Basically, 15 miles from the GWB and I'll be at it.  If we take our regular Sunday route, that's Piermont.  If I'm to use it as my turnaround point, I'll need to start earlier.  But, really, I'll hit it if I just ride to Tenafly and home.  

Perfect, I'll be there at 9:00.

You guys are hilarious


 

Any chance you want to hit GWB at 8a? 

We suffered multiple tire and tube failures en route today so Greg and I hit a shop to stock up on some tubes and hammered it back to Queens.

Fun! But also short.

Might be late for Max to be checking in.

I could do 8:30 no problem.  But don't want to leave Max out.

Can’t make GWB at 8am tomorrow, today been too long, but aiming for 9.

So great to explore new roads , the trail way really bit us , multiple flats , slowed us down quiet a bit , go
Greg and Dave turned in Dobbs ferry ,Blake Brett Lennart and I headed on , refueled in YorkTown heights ,Were , the the 2 skinny guys staged their high jack , convinced us to take the relentless  Westchester hills to Westbury , , at some point we realized that was a wee bit far so we re routed to Stamford , train home to GC 
ended up with 114 total miles 

I am on track for 9 am still

Sorry guys schedule is too tight, can't make it. Congrats JP take pictures of the 200k mark!

Congrats on 200k JP!  Bummed I missed it.

Anyone in for a long ride tomorrow?

200k 🤯. Congrats JP

I plan on being at the GWB at 9am tomorrow (Monday)

I’ll be there also 

Thanks to MAx for the company.  Nice chatty time up to stateline on the low road.  I turned back at Palisades, NY, heading for 9W.

Anyone at BB this morning?
