i'm gonna go buy some elastic braces for my wrist and elbow. it's too nice out to not be taking long rides on account of lingering injuries.

anyone wanna hit piermont, nyack, coney island, the far rockaways--something fun? between now and tuesday?

Yoshi

Well I'm at work right now and I have to work on monday too but I'd be up for a Tuesday morning ride.

visitordesign

sounds good to me. i'm gonna go do piermont now.

Love the individual notions of 'longish'

I took a nice long ride 14 blocks to Uptown Juice Bar, which made my day.

gorgeous out, but damn, it's windy as a mufukka.

I ran into VD coming into NJ off the GW Bridge just as I was about to go back into the city after my ride to Nyack. I *think* I'll be doing the same thing tomorrow morning, early. Like meeting at 9am by the Intrepid (46th & the W. Side Bikepath)

s_9

what the?

visitordesign

9 am!!! damn. you're for serious. i don't think i left the house til after 1.

are you going with your team again, or is it more of a personal training thing? i might hit it if it's the later.

wangster

I'll probably do nyack tomorrow late morning. I might be riding the road bike though to make it easier on my knees.

visitordesign

it's only like a little less than a 50 mile roundtrip to piermont. it's not shortish and it's not long. it's longer than an alleycat, so it's, "longish." when it's windy, you're riding it fixed and you have no one to draft off of, it verges on long. but 9W is quiet once you get there and it's really pleasant--as long as you like rolling hills.

Don't strain yourself, Bro

you're the beer/grocery run hero

wouldn't want you to overtrain

wangster

Ouch...

I'm waiting for an email from a teammate. My ride today wasn't technically a team ride...we just happened to pick up a bunch of em on the way. Originally, it was just missmercian & me.

9am isn't that early, bro! This way, you get to be back by 1...or 3 or whatever...and have the rest of your day to....well, nap...like I've been doing so far.

Did you just go up to Piermont today? You were back awfully quick. Then again, you live a lot closer to the GWB than me.

visitordesign

yeah. i just did piermont and back. i didn't stop and dillydally in town. i got there, thought about getting some extra liquids, decided against it and came right back.

i got back quick, but i'm paying for it now. i was beating myself up for taking a week to let my ribs and arm heal.

let me know if you decide to go tomorrow. i'll wake up early and check for smoke signals.

I saw VD on Ft. Washington?...can't miss those rims. I was heading back home from 9W as well.

Hit me up with a pm next time you want to head up to Nyack, its getting boring doing solo rides. Can't tomorrow, going to the track to do some intervals.

I've been trying to do River Road and then 9w to the state line and turn around on Saturday mornings. And Nyack on Sundays.

willus

I'd love to do one of these rides but don't know if i'm there yet.

How is 9w? light traffic? hilly?

willus

nevermind. just did a search and found some info about this route. sounds pretty good. NYS should go ahead and make it an official bike lane seeing as how many cyclist ride it.

mrRed

damn, i won't be back until mid next week, but if anyone's off next week and down for a thursday mid day ride, let me know.

evanyc

i dont think i'm gonna be riding tomorrow cause of the ****ed up knee, but i've been talking with some folks about riding out to the rockaways on tuesday. depending on how the knee is feeling i'd be up for that.

genericbikedude

god its beautiful out.

anybody want to go for a ride later this afternoon, after 5?

I'd be down to go anywhere, 9-dub, bronx, whatever

visitordesign

if you people haven't gone yet today... go. it's beautiful out. i just got back. s_9 is right, there's something to be said for leaving before 10. i'm gonna crawl under a rock and die now.

Yoshi

I once went past Upper Nyack and got home before 11am. Of course I had to be at work by 12 which is why I left so early. Yeah, I didn't get any work done that day.

shishi

Hit me up if your gonna sdo this tomorrow, or anyone else who is doing it.

Yeah, nice and hot out, just got back from laps in PP, now off to the track.
