NYC Riv Ride?

[Caroline Golum]

Seeing the LA Riv Ride post got me thinking! Anyone in the NYC area interested in a weekend ride this month? It's chilly, but we can handle it!

[Ryan Ogilvie]

Not sure about my plans but would love to be kept in the loop. A ride to the Rockaways is nice this time of year, if not too windy.

Seconded, especially if we can fold in a stop off at Brennan and Carr's or Roll 'n Roaster <3

I'll come up if I'm available.  Would you stay on the NYC side?  I know there are lots of riders in NYC and quiet a few from NJ and Philadelphia (my family lives in Morris County).

My home town, Far Rockaway. For safety stay on the boardwalk should you ride in Far Rockaway. The western part of the Rockaways is much safer these days.

Anyone in the greater NYC area should feel free to join! Also amenable to a ride over the GWB into NJ if that suits folks. 

[Roberta]

I'll do either side, but most likely I'll have to drive so safe parking is a must (I do always feel funny about driving to go on a bike ride).

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

Sounds fun!

The Putnam trail North of Van Cortland is pretty, and ridiculously safe with decent enough parking for those carventuring in. 

But I f it’s excitement and real city feels everyone’s craving, maybe a “every bridge (with bike access) from the Henry Hudson down to the Brooklyn” ride? That’s a fun zipper to zip.

I'm up for a ride! Any of the ideas mentioned so far are great. I like getting north of the city, I like rockaways w/ roll n' roaster, hitting all the bridges... really can't go wrong.

I am in Pennington NJ and prefer trails. The Delaware has trails on both the PA side and the NJ side that are a nice way to spend a whole day. I usually leave from the Washington Crossing State Park parking lot in Titusville, ride north to Lambertville, cross the bridge into New Hope and then catch the trail again north of town. All the way to Frenchtown (back on the NJ side) is about forty miles back to the parking lot, but there is also a nice turn around point in Lumbreville where you can get something to eat at the General Store there. There is a footbridge that crosses the river there right next to the Black Bass Hotel to get over to the NJ side. The NJ side has better trail conditions but the PA side is prettier with better river views. So I often take the PA trail back as well until New Hope, back over to Lambertville, and south to Titusville. I am on sabbatical this semester so I will have time to ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays once I get my new Saluki up and running.

I'm in NJ too - Essex County, but I get out to Frenchtown every once in a while.  Sounds like a lovely ride for the spring!

Very intrigued by the Putnam trail north of Van Cortland as I've never been (but have driven past it). And it seems like a convenient-ish location for folks from outside NYC. Maybe us city-dwellers can meet for the first leg and join the rest coming from outside the city?

[tio ryan]

long time pedaler, first time owner -- would love to meet for a ride! 

a ride out to the beach with a stop at any of the aforementioned spots is always fun. I personally like hitting up spumoni gardens on the way back. 

grand army plaza @ prospect park is a good meet up spot for a ride like that

I'm also in NJ. I might be up for joining you, depending on the location (and the weather!).

Thanks everyone who replied!

In an exciting - and stressful - turn of events, I have to go on a four-day shoot President's Day week, so hoping if we get an early spring that March would be a good time to schedule a group ride?

[Caroline Golum]

Bumping this! Back from the shoot, ready to ramble. 

My birthday is on a Thurs this year (3/21) but if anyone is interested in a ride the following weekend, weather permitting, let's organize!

[jeffrey kane]

I should be around the weekend of 4/6 - keep me posted!

[Melanie]

I hope to attend also.

[Davey Two Shoes]

NJ as well! Perhaps we should get an NJ ride together too.

[Roberta]

If I'm available and it doesn't rain, I'll be there too.    I'm up for a ride in NJ.  I'm there every month visiting family, and most of NJ is within a 2 hour ride from Philadelphia.
