Crankees -
Congratulations to all Burlington riders. You may think the big challenge is a head of you but think about: all the training miles you logged; all the fund raising emails, calls, conversations & posts; all the time spent in the saddle; and all the time & effort spent focusing on the real task (raising money for the scientists to find a cure). The hard work is behind you. Get ready to start the party.
This weekend there will two options:
On Saturday for those looking for miles, I will lead a 75 mile ride up 9w to, and around, Rockland Lake State Park (more miles if you want to).
On Sunday I will lead a shorter ride, figure 50 miles up 9w.
Meet Up Times & Locations:
Both days leave Riverside and 122nd at 7:30 am; push off from Jersey side of the GWB at 8 am.
For Saturday two water bottles and on-the-bike nutrition. We'll make a few limited stops.

Please note we will depart timely; all last minute preparations, pre-ride discussions, etc. will occur in the 5-10 minutes leading up to our departure time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Helpful Hint - if you don't have bike tool, look to get one. If you have a bike tool, take it out and familiarize yourself with the components.
For Burlington riders that have not sent their bikes on a head - clean up that bike. It takes time but clean up the dirt and grime. Make it shine. There are plenty of online instructional videos. Arrange with your bike shop for a simple tune up before Burlington. It's good practice to have your bike checked out by your local shop to minimize risk of a ride weekend bike failure.

Yes congratulations to Dan, Jeff, Rachel and any others that I don't know who are riding soon in Vermont, exciting! Looking forward to the same feeling as November comes.
Bob weekend sounds great and challenging. I will join on Saturday. I'm going to try again, to add to it riding from Brooklyn if I get away early enough. Will ascertain Sunday based on how I feel and time but looking forward to Saturday.
