What time and where to @SeanMilesI'm 98% sure I can join you whenever, but I'll need to let my editor know roughly when I'll be unavailable.
Was planning to head out about 11-11:30. River road to Bradley Tweed or whatever not too much further than Piermont.
Cool. Let's ride. Text or call me 479-841-8562
Anyone interested in meeting at GWB 7:30am for an alpine ride?
Something that I just saw on FB:
I would like to give a heads up to all the 9W riders.... Last week I observe this crash just after the alpine climb exit heading southbound on 9W just prior to Closter dock Road. 

I was curious to how this could happen on such a clear open road and on my way home today I noticed there's a tremendous dip on the shoulder we ride to the right side. If you go into this dip you will not come out. Because it's too deep and to short for the front wheel to ride through

It's very hard to see as it's almost like a sinkhole if you will. Please be aware as it's on the fast part of the stretch

I think I saw this when I was riding down 9W on Saturday.  It seemed like someone had tipped over an orange cone or barrel into the sinkhole to make it easier to identify.  I don't know if it's still there.
Yes, a cyclist carried a cone 2 miles to mark the hole
Anyone want to ride river road at 3:30pm today?
 
Trying to get out tmrw for a few hours over the bridge. Flexible on time but weatherman says 1ish it could rain
Friday, I've got the day off, so I am thinking 6:30AM BB start and doing RR, and turning around at the 9W cafe, and if not too late catching JP's Friday CP laps. Back in Brooklyn around 1pm.
Wednesday morning, I'm expecting to roll out of Harlem around 8:30am to go to points unknown.  3-4 hours of points unknown.
Contemplating a Tuesday morning ride. River Road to Piermont and back. Sub 200 watt pace. Takers?

what time you leaving BK?
Was thinking 9am Brooklyn Bridge. Might be a bit late (and slow) for you ;)
More like 10am right now
Anyone want to head out tomorrow morning?  Chilly, for sure, but dry.
Tomorrow, Friday 12:30pm departure from UWS to Piermont (1:00pm GW). =)  
Wrongway, 
     That sounds like fun, but I might only have time for a CP spin.

Tried to get out to Tarrytown via the County Trailway.  But it turned out to be icy.  Ended up getting lost in Westchester.
Yeah can't get on the road earlier than 12:30 unfortunately. Lmk if things change. 
I have tomorrow off and was thinking about a morning ride to Piermont. Anyone around?
Anyone game to ride tomorrow morning (the 28th)?
Looks like it'll be sunny and 40 degrees.
Would like to leave from BK Bridge at 9am. Need to me back in BK by 2pm. 
Flexible on timing. 
Was thinking of doing a long ride on Tuesday. at least 75 miles. Weather looks promising. 
i have off tomorrow and wanted to do a morning ride up 9w maybe. have to be home no later than 1pm tho (brooklyn). anyone interested?
Beware the falling cars on River Road: 
Greg Donovan and I made sure alpine was still there this morning. Nice weather. 

We spotted a bald eagle perched on a branch surveying the hudson. It flew off majestically before i could snap a picture (i swear). Large flying creatures they are....
Beware the falling cars on River Road: 
I've been so lucky as to see small rocks in the act of falling and bouncing off the road as I pedaled on the drive.  

Never a car.  And I've only seen a few overturned cars in the wild.
I took off tomorrow, Tuesday the 30th. anyone else have the time / day off and interested in doing a longish ride?
I am going to ride tomorrow up 9W and River Rd. Maybe do those McMansion hills...if I can find them. Anyone around and also unemployed and want to get jacked with me?
Scott G and I are heading for a ride up 9Ws tomorrow. 9:30 depart from UWS (164 W79th). 3.5hrs tempo, 1 quick stop.
All welcome. Bring two bottles and two spares.
