Awesome!

Pretty much this list - sounds like we're on for tomorrow (Tuesday the 27th) at 7:30.

PM me for where to meet.

Probably not - just looked outside the window. Keep an eye on this thread and forecast - if the weather looks like it will clear up later on then we'll give it a go, otherwise find another day.

Looks nice if a bit humid. My left achilles is still bothering me, but as long as I don't ride too long it should be alright.

Let's make a decision around 5 or so depending on the latest weather report. I'm pretty impervious to weather so it doesn't bother me too much.

yes air is impervious to weather

however we know what you are powerless against, will make you stop on a dime and remain motionless for at least one hour

here's an updated weather report:
Severe Thunderstorm Watch for NYC
2pm-4pm T-showers
4pm-7pm Scattered T-storms
7pm-10pm T-showers
10pm - on partly cloudy

Hey, my neighborhood! Haven't tried Dinosaur yet, though.

I still don't know if I'll make it tonight, but I will if I can.

OK - let's call this off for tonight. Checking the radar it seems like there's a big patch of something coming this way, I'd hate for us to be out and the weather turns to crap.

How's next Tuesday for everyone?

Disregard my text, I should have just checked here first. Mattyknacks, looks like you'll have to wait another week!

I'm going out to the community board meeting anyway, we'll see what that's about...

Later!

Bikes: Roadbike, commuterbike and wife's "Bike with a bell and a basket" 3 speed.

Monday, June 2, 2008 7pm Chelsea Pier to Lighthouse and Back. Lights recommended.

I'm riding to the GWB lighthouse and back Monday June 2. 7pm. I'll be riding my commuter bike so my pace will be a steady 14-17 mph. Stretch at the lighthouse.

I'll meet you at the Chelsea Pier bike path crossing. The edge of the last building looking North.

PM me and maybe we can ride it together.

My knee is feeling good and I want to loosen it up a bit. Lighthouse and back from Chelsea Piers is about 18 miles.

PM me and let's meet at Chelsea Piers.

I'm heading from 26th up the greenway to the GW at 6:00 or so on my folder, towing a kid trailer around 10MPH. Wave as you pass...
