NYC Paceline Labor Day Weekend Ride?

[flydhest]

OK, so some months ago I started a thread about the fact that I was moving to NYC. Work started essentially in May. Kids finished the school year in DC and then spent time with the grandparents there so moved here in July. Work travel picked up and then vacation, so here we are.

Anyone in NYC interested in a ride either Saturday, Sunday, or Monday morning? I need some introduction to the local riding. I would love to meet the other Paceliners here. I was thinking up to and over the GWB but perhaps not all the way to Nyack and back. I have started a new job so my fitness is so-so. Depending on when we get back to the city, the first round of either coffee or beer is on me. I have the mildest of preferences for Sunday but a much stronger preference for getting a good group.

Who is in?

[Nooch]

I might be up for meeting you at the bridge on the NJ side -- We could roll down to river road, and after the climb into alpine you could head back toward the bridge.

[velofinds]

I'd be in, sure. Would love to get an early start if possible.

so... alpine repeats?

If Nooch is rolling out, I may join for the NJ portion as well if my day is clear.

[tctyres]

Regrets... my brother and his new bride are in town. I'll be lucky to squeeze in any riding, I think.

[Nooch]

Sunday morning would probably be my jam -- Don't know but figure I'll be stuck working Monday at my side job.

[PaulE]

I would be in for the NJ portion. I'm in terrible shape, but it's my neighborhood so if I get dropped it's not like I'm lost!

[flydhest]

Looks like some interest coalescing around Sunday early. I will be rolling from 24th Street up the west side. Looks like sunrise is 6:24. I could roll out thereabouts, but can be flexible. As I have never ridden across the GWB, would be happy for some company to show me the best way.

I think TheGunner could show you the way, I guess that means GWBNJ around 7-ish?

[johnmdesigner]

Geez, I thought I was the poster boy for physical decrepitude in NYC but you are all starting to make me feel like Bert Contador.:D
You gotta go to Piermont at least...

I mean, I'm lazy -- but like being social. So... Could bypass river road and just go to Piermont.. Stop for muffins at bunburry.. Ride out to the pier and marvel at the mario..

You guys can enjoy the hills on the way back -- I'll head back to Jersey from Piermont :)

i usually do a grants tomb meet up. too much chuckleheads on the west side path to try to meet there.

if we're doing this sunday, i might or might not be game depending on how racing goes on saturday.

yes to this. Its the guys first time and you guys want to take on the terrible 9W road??!?!?!?!

Definitely has to do river road because its pretty, then Alpine from the bottom (its the only real hill around that part really and its actually a decent climb), then right after that cafe on 9W and through the gravel all the way down to piermont. Coffee in piermont then back (can come back through 9W just to not have to repeat river road but the alpine descent is very nice).

[velofinds]

flydhest, I could meet you (and whoever else wants to join) at 23rd and the West Side at 6:30am and guide us to Grant's Tomb to join up with thegunner and whoever else wants to meet up there. Then we'll pick up another group on the NJ side of the bridge and roll down to River Rd.

[Nooch]

just wait for me at bunburry -- you'll drop me descending 9w, lol (I'm a slow descender... oh well :) )

[Web1111a]

Where is bunburry?

Former NYacker

[msngr]

There is a day of racing (and usually BBQing) at Kissena Velodrome on Labor Day. I believe it is the 53rd Annual.

I will be racing.

Coffee shop in Piermont with decent coffee and marginal baked goods. They have a bike rack out front and it's usually packed full of cyclists on the weekends

You're just obsessed with the place in Closter. :)

I'm a fan of the French Toast Muffin.

gimme gypsy any day over bunberry.

[Nooch]

Boxer, now. And yes, I agree, though I stopped going/promoting them after learning some things about their inception and subsequent pushing out of part owners (friends of mine). Now they've sold it to one of their barista's and renamed it Boxer Donuts, so now I feel better returning.

Bunburry is just sentimental because I used to sit on Koop's wheel some Friday mornings and go get 'breakfast.'

It's not just me, its all of Cyclesport. The place is just that good. Sadly they close on Sunday's :crap:

Sadly they weren't open when I rolled thru closter on Monday -- but I found em.

Okay, enough hijack, we doing this thing next sunday?

So is this on Labor Day weekend or this Sunday? I'll try to make it if the former, hey someone has to be the lanterne rouge, unappreciated though that might be

[flydhest]

Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Sounds like we are getting a small posse going.

[Bob Ross]

I'm a definite maybe. Or a probable maybe.
Eh, just conspicuously post the finally-agreed-upon meeting time/place somewhere in this thread and if a guy rolls up in an NYCC jersey on a terra cotta Sachs, that's me.

can add Ash and Bradley/Tweed if going to Nyack
IBM hill and College Hill on the way back too

Jamon Serrano, indeed. But wouldn't it have to be sourced from Irun, Spain? Given that there's no real beef to be had in NYC, or France for that matter. And let's not forget the asthma meds, which can only come all the way from England. Get you TUE's in now, what with all the hills being suggested! And here I was thinking that a muffin and coffee would suffice.

Man, now that's just crazy talk Jensen. Not all of us are super-fit-racer-types :)

[zap]

pssst........Flydhest likes to sprint.

[BobbyJones]

What's "Piermont Hill"? Tallman?

[flydhest]

Zap ... why don't you come up to the Big Apple too.

[hokoman]

I might be in.. but I am totally out of shape and my wife might actually want me to help unpack or at least watch the kids! Once times and locations are set, please post.

[PaulE]

I need to be home by 11:15 at the latest on Sunday. If you have a meet-up point at the GWB or an approximate time you'll be stopping in Nyack or Piermont I may be able to meet up for a short time.

[flydhest]

I am looking forward to this. I am heading to the Seoul airport to fly to Beijing before heading home. The Sunday ride is part of my jet lag cure. For those that know, where is a good meet up point at GWB?

meet ups are usually right before the entrances on either side. you wont miss it since you'll run into a few cyclists standing around and waiting for other people.

also, weather forecast just changed to rain sunday am. is the ride still on?

[flydhest]

Monday is better for me too, thanks!

[benc]

I'm in town and planned to join Sunday but headed home Monday.

Anyone riding Saturday?

[TRACK]

Monday is ideal. I will join ya'll. Whats the details?

[19wisconsin64]

I'm in for Monday morning, and live on the Upper West Side, so can meet up with folks.

[thegunner]

what time is this happening? i'll roll to grant's and see how i feel lol.

[yinzerniner]

Would be interested as well, going to be near perfect conditions this long weekend especially monday. Thanks for the getting the idea up.

[velofinds]

I propose 7am at the bridge if that works for folks? This spot:

Can also ride by Grant's around 630ish in case anyone wants to ride up Riverside together.

[johnmdesigner]

Boyz, pick a final meeting spot and time. I'm getting a headache.
Jersey side of GWB. 7AM. Is someone holding a Paceline mascot so we can find each other?

[AngryScientist]

wish i could make it fellas. bronchitis, sinus infection, antibiotics, etc.

have fun!

[flydhest]

So ... I will be at GWB at 7 on Monday. I will be on a white Zanconato. Prolly wearing a white and blue kit. Anyone who will likely come out, feel free to pm me and I will give my my cell so we can text, as needed.

[thegunner]

i'll be at grants around 6:30 - 6:40. there won't be anyone else there, so i'll wait for a white zank to roll by.

Awesome.

[19wisconsin64]

I'll meet up with you guys Monday morning at Grant's Tomb around 6:30 to 6:40, wearing a long sleeve florescent yellow jersey, can't miss it.

Dave

[thegunner]

i'm out for tomorrow fellas :( super lack of sleep these past few days

[shovelhd]

Heal up, Angry.

[flydhest]

I am still in. Will find and then roll by Grants tomb between 6:30 and 6:40 to find 19Wisconsin64. Gunner, next time. Angry... isn't science supposed to fix that stuff?? Hoping to meet as many folk as possible.

ha yeah, i'm also open for morning laps in the park... whenever.

my puppy is making me lose sleep like crazy lately.

[Nooch]

Long weekend of work kicking my rear -- I may shoot to ride to Bunburry,
If you guys stop, either a blue gaulzetti or a white/red Serotta attack.

[flydhest]

Couple of us here now at Grants tomb. Will roll out in 5.

[flydhest]

At the NJ side of the bridge.

[Bob Ross]

Have fun! You might see me heading out when you all are coming home! :banana:

[flydhest]

Great ride. Thanks 19Wisconsin64 and velofinds for the company and the education. I am worn out but quite happy to have had my first ride across the GWB.

[PaulE]

This morning I learned it takes me an hour to ride
From home to the NJ side of the GWB. I got there at 7:25 and you guys were gone. I thought I might see you heading North on Hudson Terrace and hook up with you but no luck. I then rode up 9W to Pierpont, didn't see you at Bunberry, rode out to the pier and went home. Hopefully next time!

[flydhest]

Shux. We stayed till quarter after. Would have been great to have another with us. Next time for sure!

Yes, of course! I took that picture with my iPhone and then made that post from my iPhone, so I'm not sure why that happened. Let's see if the PC and Windows can fix it.
