I'm heading up to Graham Hills Park to ride their MTB trails on Saturday morning.
I'll be riding my cross bike.
It's 45 minutes and $9 from Grand Central.
Anyone interested in joining me?

Shit, this looks like fun. I can't do it this weekend but I'd love to head up there another time. Maybe next weekend if anyone's interested.
William, give us a report on how it goes on a cross bike.

Sounds awesome. Nice park, I was up there last March. I will be game if you go back at some point later (I can't ride for a few more weeks because of my hand).

If we get more folks I'll drive. Otherwise I'm sitting in Luka's booster.
Dec 23, 2012 at 09:51 PM
I'll go if Jim drives
Dec 25, 2012 at 05:04 PM
how was it?
i cobbled together a proper MTB up here in Dutchess county. Rode past two days. So much fun.
Dec 25, 2012 at 07:18 PM
We overcame a tech failure to have a great ride across the wash plane of LI. Some really fast single track with a few twisty bits thrown in. A good way to spend a cold day.
Dec 26, 2012 at 04:04 PM
can't wait to do it with you guys

I'm heading up to Graham Hill Park in pleasantville tomorrow.
Awesome trails. About 45 minutes from gran central. I'd leave on either the 738 or 838 from GCT only I'd board at Harlem 125st.

GWB tomorrow is the better option. It;s gonna be a party!
Jan 12, 2013 at 07:03 PM
@DC - what do you suppose the conditions are like after all the rain?
Jan 12, 2013 at 09:03 PM
No problem. The park is on a hill, so the water will either run off or sink in. Some of the trails are pretty rough though. Lots of crashing and broken components last time we were there.
Jan 12, 2013 at 11:31 PM
You really think so Stokes?
Only one trail (that new gnarly downhill) was bad. The rest was Very cross bike able.
I'll be driving up tomorrow am from the upper west side. Room for two more if we remove wheels/lower seat posts.
Leaving around 830.
Let me know if you guys want a ride.

I definitely think that there were a number of broken components: shifter, brake handle, chain, my wrist. . .
Jan 14, 2013 at 04:04 AM
components, yes
though, that was more to do user error and general chugulugishness than to the ferocity of the terrain
today, it was damp and slick and WOW it was about 10x harder
i'll be going back next saturday
psyched
Jan 14, 2013 at 10:13 PM
Hey,
Been diddling around up near my moms house on the trails behind Stewart Airport. Would love to join yall Saturday!
Jan 14, 2013 at 10:48 PM
right on
i'm bringing a few college buddies up there on saturday
we will have a posse
Jan 17, 2013 at 03:30 AM
I'll probably make it -- depends on whether my MTB tire holds air. I'll know for sure tomorrow night. If I am going, I can take two riders and bikes with me from Park Slopey area and back.
Jan 18, 2013 at 04:36 AM
Okay. I'm in. Anyone need a ride up (and back)?
Jan 18, 2013 at 10:36 PM
I'm going with Willy.
Jan 19, 2013 at 08:11 PM
Just some dudes gettin' rad.
Man that was fun - and hecka hard. The CrossCheck and I did not perform admirably...I gained a new appreciation for MTBs and disc brakes today.
Jan 20, 2013 at 04:32 AM
^looks like fun!
