I'm heading up the west side greenway to Washington Heights from Battery Park in about 10 minutes. Don't think our schedules are lining up...

Doesn't look like it, happy riding though!

52deg - warm enough to wear shorts yet?

I've been wearing shorts all winter - where have you been? :innocent:

Quick Loop around Manhattan? The far East side is notably horrible to ride through! What route on the East do you take? Looking forward to riding this year. Last year I was put out of commission by SI issues. Hoping to do better this year by slowly increasing my miles instead of going hellbells into centuries too soon.

Air 03-31-09 04:06 PM

Hey! Wish I could go tonight, looking forward to getting in lots of miles this year!

My loop is more or less centralized: Manhattan Bridge>Bowery/3rd>110th>Central Park West>7th Ave>Broadway>2nd Ave>Manhattan Bridge

I hit 4th Ave in Brooklyn to head back home, 5th Ave if I'm lazy.

Off to ride, adios!

(Too cold for shorts!)

I've started wearing cycling pants even when it's not too cold for shorts, just because it seems like a good idea, in the long run, to keep the knees working. I'm comfortable down into the mid-40s with shorts sometimes, but my new policy is knee coverings up to 60°F.

yeah. I have been living in the two or three pairs of calf length bottoms I own....they should be simultaneously disintegrating any day now:(. Tights seem too warm, even in winter, but these are great for me right up until it hits the mid 70s or so. I got some below the knee tights with pad for xmas, so should be wearing those soon.

Mid 70's?! Man that's almost thong weather...

Better get your thong-ride in today, fellas, because it looks like a couple of rainy April days ahead.

noteon 04-02-09 12:26 PM

My upstairs neighbor was blasting Rush at 2AM this morning, and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I didn't ride today. I'll be back at it when the rain starts...

Anyone riding tonight?

noteon 04-02-09 12:45 PM

If you all go to Dinosaur without me, I'm going to cry.

roadiejorge 04-02-09 12:58 PM

How I wish today's weather would repeat itself tomorrow but it looks like tomorrow's going to rain and I was hoping of going on the moonlight ride.

:(

Who's going to Dinosaur?

noteon 04-02-09 02:21 PM

Hey Air, I remembered there being a note about weather and cancellations at the Time's Up site, but I don't see it. Do you know the policy offhand?

pgoat 04-02-09 02:30 PM

hope the weather holds. I'll be on my road bike so I may skip if it's muddy by nightfall...

Lightening or such bad weather that she won't think people will ride.

noteon 04-02-09 02:50 PM

A lightning ride sounds awesome.

Air 04-02-09 04:57 PM

Yeah, Sunday night I was hoping to go across the BillyBurgh Bridge during the lightening storm but it passed too quickly.

Nobody, whew! Now I can maintain my manly composure.

noteon 04-14-09 09:21 PM

My family's out of town this week. Where we going?

jyossarian 04-14-09 09:32 PM

When is it not raining?
