Westchester is a great start point. I really like the big rail trail for volume days, also across the Tap into NJ and I've done some Rt 9 area rides. I don't know the area well so I stick to the big routes.
And on riding in Queens, on second thought; it's downright horrible. I forgot how tough it is to drive a car here and cycling is worse. I'm just used to the thing.

bampilot06 what happened?
EDIT: nvm, saw that it was your teammate's bike so I'm less concerned (still hope he's ok). Sounds like the race went well outside of that - nice

Race went well, averaging 26 and I got up to 31 in my breaks. My data is all screwed up, they had to stop the race after a crash and I didn’t stop my garmin.
It was a lot of fun working as a team. One of my really strong team mates was behind me when we were down the last 2 laps. He was talking to me so calmly, it really helped. All was good until we crossed for the last lap, he then shouted to go harder than you have ever gone in your life. I was already going harder than I ever had in my life. I kept pushing but shifted to my right to let him go. He went and then the whole pack passed me lol. I latched onto the back for the finish. New max HR of 191. Was at 185 for like 15 mins.

Got out to play for about 3 hours yesterday. Probably been about two weeks since I've done more than just ride to work. Legs didn't have much towards the end but man it felt nice.
Foggy Paris Mountain is always a treat:
LAJ you were right in Hot or Not, the more silver this bike gets the better it looks. Back with the all silver cockpit, and found silver R7000 brakes. QR nuts from a set of '80's Shimano hubs. I'm really considering having the fork painted to match the frame since I'm enjoying the fit a lot more:
New section of our MUP runs right under the approach lights for 01 at GMU:

I swing through there enough to know that things haven't changed, congestion is no better than in 1984. It's NYC after all, still 8+ million people and it seems that half of them drive cars.

Love me some race car haulers. I like the whole rig, but this is a nice start.

There's no way I use clipless in the city streets, too much stopping/un-clipping/re-clipping, and how fast can you really ride with a traffic signal set every 250 feet. Even to do Manhattan's westside greenway I've used toe clips because sooner or later you're going to encounter the streets.
