I'm Froome. You can be wiggins and use the word cunt a lot.
C'mon JeffO!  Go out early with me, when it's still cool!  I'll be Cuddles; when I crack on Bradley or Tweed and completely lose my shit you can taunt me.
I'm headed out shortly.  WIll be at GWB for some alpine fun around 9, 9:15
K-rad and I are going to parts further north, meeting at Bunbury's in piermont, then heading to 218 past West point ideally.
When: Tuesday July 24th 9AM
Where: NJ side of GWB
Why: Because I've got the week off, and nothing better to do than flog myself getting over hills, oh and I gotta get ready for D2R2 (which means lots of hills).

Come out. I won't be going fast over the hills but I will be doing them.
Keith and I are talking about doing the Warwick Loop on Wednesday.  This is a tough, tough climbing fest. And because of the length, 75mi,and the timing, are going to take a car out.

We start and finish in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. (actual spelling)  http://maps.google.com/maps?q=ho-ho-kus,+nj&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl

We ride to Oakland, climb Skyline Drive (1.5mi), descend to Ringwood, Climb Old Westbrook (2.2mi), descend to West milfork, climb Greenwood Lake Tpk (1mi), ride on to Warwick, where we take on water, about 40mi in.  Then we head back.  Climb Mount Peter (2mi), descend and then immediately climb Sterling Forest 2mi), a long descent to Harriman, then climb into harriman (2mi), cross seven lakes drive, then climb up to Lake Welch (1mi), then descend out of harriman and have rollers all the way back to HHK.

The idea is to get on the road in HHK by 10.  The drive from Harlem is about 30 minutes.
Wow.  I'd love to do this sometime.  Think my legs are smoking cinders this week though.  Body & Soul I'm pretty burnt out.

HGH and coke could help with that.
Yeah.  But the problem is I don't know of anybody local that has an extra supply of HGH, Coke & EPO.  If only there was some kind of injured doper with a stockpile...
Jules,

Call me...

Old Westbrook 2.9mi 544 fot of elevation gain.
Greenwood Lake Turnpike 1.6mi at an average gradient of 5.5%, pitching up to 12% in sections.
Mount Peter 2.2 miles at 5.1%
Sterling Forest 2.4mi at 5.1%
Harriman part 1 2.7mi 3.7%
Harriman part 2 0.9mi 5.8%

Great day to be out in the country.
I'm really jealous of this. Wish I could have made it.
^Yeah.  What PBerg said.
guys. I'm gonna do this exact ride on sunday after capital region road race to prep for stage racing and the tour of the catskills coming up. should be good.

Shoot - totally spaced that Capital Region was in July - thought it would be in August, like last year.  Not gonna be able to do it.
Arg.

Shooting for GWB NY side at 10am on Wednesday.  about 3.5 hours or so
Hey JP...I'm in for the ride on Wednesday.
Gonna soft pedal to Piermont tomorrow. Really slow, achilles still fucked. 18mph max.

10@ GWB most likely.

Anyone for Wednesday, August 22 at 11am GWB. I can also do 10am GWB, but then have to take luka to camp in my kit. 

I'll do 11 unless people ask for 10.

I can do 10am Wednesday.  Happy to do three hours from there.  Can go longer as well.

Anyone want to join?
I'm game but will probably just soft pedal.
Meet me at Bldg 92 on Flushing Ave (between Carlton and ???) - 63 Flushing Ave - at 9. I will drop Luka off and we can go from there.
Me?  That's out of the way!  I'll meet you at W. Houston and the west side bike path at like 9:10-15, otay?
Sure. I maybe close to 9:20 is my guess.
Just catch me on the bike path.  I'll be going sloooooooooowwwwwww.  Achilles not healing....  I'm gonna leave a bit early so it shouldn't be an issue.  You'll catch me by the Insipid I'm sure.

I'll be heading out a little earlier tomorrow if anyone is around.  Planning to be at the GWB around 7am.
