Couple of friends are organizing a small ride this weekend, either to Bear Mnt, Palisades toward NJ, or Whiteplains/Yonkers. Will start morning. Anyone in the area free to join or voice an opinion :rockon:.

Other than Bear Mtn, there are 2 other choices - I dont know the area,

Bronx River Parkway - Yonkers to White Plains and back

Taconic to Tappan Zee to Palisades Pkwy South to NJ

(Anthony) I kinda know your preference :) - but what do you think about the other two?

The best part of the Bronx river is past white plains towards the kensico dam and part of rt 22 towards armonk. i'm not sure if they're done with construction north bound on the bronx river tho.

The taconic is farther north from the tappan zee and is pretty much a straight ride to rt 202 bear mtn ;)

Still hoping to make it. I took some of the crew into Warwick NY last year. Some interesting and fun roads.

DUE To the Weather - we are making this Very early! 5.30am meeting at 36 Sydney place Brooklyn. Reason being that it'll rain late morning and my friend is visiting from Florida and wants to get a few hours in. I won't txt folks because well... its 11pm and we only decided now. SORRY BUT ALL ARE WELCOME!

Edit: We wont do Bear mtn - but will stay in the Queens/Yonkers area.

Weather - F U!!!

I visited NYC a week ago as a tourist. I saw a few bikes riding (I have an inner motorcycle radar) around when I was walking, taking taxi's, and UBER. How the heck do you ride in that craziness? I couldn't imagaine.
When I got home, we took a ride in the hills near my house. I understood the saying "wide open spaces". I always took it for granted before. Keep safe my friends riding around the crazy town.

I can respond in one word: YES.

it does suck - thats why I love getting a bit out... I envy all the folks who dont have to ride 2 hours away to get some 'open spaces'...

Agreed. Getting outta the city is always a pleasure.

In regards to your proposed rides, i would be more inclined to go for that long island ride. I like that its by the water : ).

There are a few cool places to ride in Long Island, particularly along the north shore where there actually some twisty roads although limited. There's captree state park for sunset run and Greenport for a day trip. But mostly guys I do lots of local rides by myself. I am happy to have company really any time if anyone wants to join.

the better riding is up and out of the NYC area. Probably the first ride I do will be up past Pawling NY into Connecticut

I'm in serious need of a nice ride somewhere out of the city, it just can't be on a Sat thru Monday (or go too late on a Tuesday). I know that probably eliminates most of you but if anyone is going on a ride anytime the rest of the week send me a PM and maybe I'll come :)

I live in LIC in Queens.

Right after you plan it ;) - I miss the NJ/PA Erci stomping grounds as well to be honest. All the stop/go commuting I've been doing probably sapped any skill (questionable already) I might have had...
