Epic write up Dave. Now I'm jonesing for a special edition KCC jersey with "Hustle for some pizza, you wanker!" on the back.

Anyone up for a long-ish ride tomorrow morning over the GWB?

Thinking ~60–70 miles to get the legs primed for Bear Mountain next weekend. Up for any pace. Weather’s looking solid, so let’s cash in.

Yep GWB/NJ 8am, I'll be there. 

Having serious fomo. But I'll be back to training this week.  Pumped for Bear.

Same!

I’m in ,7am BB 👍

I should be at the GWB.

I plan to be there

I might be feeling beat.  But at the same time, I have trouble sleeping if I don't get a modicum of exercise.

Couldn’t make sat ride but gonna try and make 8/9 BB/GWB tomorrow.

Sunday Aug 3rd

Trying to build up some endurance for the Firetower Brevet with Greg (attempt starting Fri Sept 26th - you should join!). Orchards seems like a reasonable 90ish miles from Queens/Brooklyn.

Anyone silly enough to do 7a GWB/NJ?

Anyone confirmed for 7am sillies?

Too early for me.  Sorry.  

I'm in.

What route ya taking past the Cuomo?. I’m guessing you’ll be up there at 745. Would try and catch a wheel there. 

For those who are late risers, I'll be at the GWB at 9am.  Back to the GWB by 10:55

Not 100% tbh, but think we'll figure something out by the time we hit Nyack. If you're on Slack message me and Greg and we'll coordinate. Will look out for messages here as well.

Planning on a 100mi+ Saturday ride this weekend, hopefully on the cross bike with road tires to prep for the brevet. Depending on if anyone joins me I might make this a sunrise start with minimal stops - I just picked up 2x 950ml bottles!

Let me know if interested and we can work out details.

I am potentially in for some or all of 100mi. Starting GWB or where? 

Solo I may do 6am GWB, but to appeal to saner people who want to join I'm willing to do GWB NJ, 7a.

FYI top gear on my cross bike is a 40x11 which is equivalent to about a 52x15 so that's the kind of ride it's going to be.

I'm also potentially in for the 100 mile journey. I loved the Bear Mountain ride.

@David Yang - If you're rolling with the cross bike, I'm assuming that you're planning on going off road (gravel) ?

Always a chance for a bit of dirt but not sure if we are doing bear via the dirt route. Let's get you outfitted with a flat kit and all that anyway!

I'm in for a Saturday long ride, may impact getting to CX training on Sunday but I'd rather long ride. I'm up for whatever, we can do mostly road/hardpack would be good to throw in some steady climbing, happy to bring a saddle bag of spares for you @RJ Simoni you can use it until you settle on your own setup. 

@David Yang - I’m off Friday and I’m going to take advantage with a little ride into BK to gear up at our shop there. Should be ready to rock.

Blake, Ryan and RJ - willing to do 6a GWB/NJ?

Yes, I'll do 6AM.

I'm out for this, I need to stay home and help my wife with some stuff, I'll ride this weekend but not sure when, how or where. I'm around labor day weekend if anyone wants to do a long ride or two/three then. 

In

Okay folks, finalizing

6a
GWB/NJ
Orchards
Minimal stops
Approx 90mi

See you in the morning.

6am gwb? Oofa. I’d like to be in, but, well, we’ll see. If you see me, the pleasure will be all mine. 

I'm with Brett
+1 I might have joined at 7 or 8am GWB but at 6am, well, maybe but highly unlikely.
