- 9AB+57.8Armonk to RowaytonOrrie Dinstein
Friday will be a lovely day and it looks like the perfect weather to go to Rowayton. This rides starts in Armonk so it's a bit longer than the traditional ride from Bedford. Ride has some hills (of course!) including Farms road the hard way but overall is not too hilly and this is generally a fast ride. As always, there will be a brief stop in Rowayton around mile 32 so come prepared accordingly.

- 8:30AB+68A Few Hill in CTAndrew Korman
Let's hope the rain holds off and do some climbing over to the Saugatauck Resevoir. RWPS claims 4800', but closer tp 6000'
The route gives us a nice warm up on rolling hills through Ridgefield for about the first 15 miles (although there's a little pop around mile 12) with our first real climb up Gallows Hill. Afterwards, there's Sunset, Codfish and Florida.
Two options for a break at around mile 32 or 40 dependong upon the group's preference.
Please come prepared with all the appropriate gear and ready to roll at 8:30.
Rain cancels ride.
- 9AB49.8Somers 50 to New CanaanTom Sebastian
To New Canaan via Ridgefield and back via Pound Ridge and Goldens Bridge. Some miles long stretches with hardly any turns. Food stop at UCBC Bagels in New Canaan at mile 25.5. Please be familiar with the route and load it into your GPS device.
Wet roads or 30% rain forecast through noon cancels and I will let riders know by 7:30 AM day of ride. My cell# is (914)393-0182.

- 10:15AAll22Bicycle Sunday on Bronx River ParkwayDon McHugh
This is an early Father's Day ride for all levels on the Bronx River Parkway (no children required; although my adult daughter will likely be joining). Fortunately, Bicycle Sunday runs every weekend through Oct 31st this year, excluding the holiday weekends of July 4th & Labor Day.
I posted this as an ALL Level ride because it truly is a great trip to share with family and friends of any ability. You can go at your own pace and turn back at any point if you get tired. Those yearning for more can even do multiple loops. I typically ride at a 12.5-14 mph pace. But I will attempt to adjust to the pace to the group. Please show 15min early, so we can roll on time. I'll be in a lifted Orange Jeep. Cell: 914-907-3209
NOTE: We'll start from North White Plains train station -- SOUTHBOUND SIDE (to NYC). The lot must be accessed by the Bronx River Parkway, Fisher Lane exit (#24). We will head south on the BRP bicycle path for about a mile to the County Center and then ride the length of the parkway to the cycling terminus at Scarsdale Road by Asbury Church (roughly mile 8). We will then continue on the bicycle path around the lake at Bronx River Park on the far side of Tuckahoe Rd. We will loop the lake twice to provide an opportunity for any stragglers to catch up. We will return to the start the way we came. There is a fork in the bicycle path north of the County Center, just before the North White Plains commuter parking lot. Those who opt to turn right will return to the start, for a ride of about 18 miles in total. I will veer left and head to Kensico Dam, to loop around the park before returning to the start on the bike path -- roughly 22 miles in total. (I woud appreciate a text from anyone who drops prior to mile 22 at 914-907-3209).
Finally, I'm a fair-weather rider; so dates and times may change based on the forecast a few days ahead. Anything more than a very light drizzle on the day-of will resut in cancellation.

Start: Waller Ave.Parking Lot, White Plains - 5:45PA-25.2Whip and GagBrett Wheeler
Looking for something to do on Tuesday evening? I just have a thing for you!
Presenting the famous Whip and Gag ride. This is the one you'll be talking about all week. It has everything! High intensity workout, pacelining and maybe even chicken nuggets. This group will target a pace of 19.5 to 20.5 mph.
The WAG route involves a fair bit of climbing (Sherwood, Whippoorwill, Baldwin) and some fast descents including Round Hill near the end. Give a strong effort up the Whip and up Baldwin, because there are fast descents and regroups at the bottom of the Whip and after Middle Patent.
As per WCC, limit of 12 riders.
This linked document is a very good primer on Paceline mechanics and etiquette: https:// ">Sign Inwww. google. com/ url?q=http:/ / track. westchestercycleclub. org/ f/ a/ KHiakYq5Y-mJcpdXYO6Ykg~~/ AALRYwA~/ RgRiqIehP0Q2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2VzdGNoZXN0ZXJjeWNsZWNsdWIub3JnL3BkZi9QYWNlbGluZXMucGRmVwNzcGNCCmDCIVTHYC3EUqpSFmJyZXR0d2hlZWxlckBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~&source=gmail&ust=1624045579624000&usg=AFQjCNE5I-epRRBOMERPge8Ub8YzjBlEDg No headphones, helmets a must, and please bring a mask.

- 5:45PAll25Harvest Time Fling with dinner at Cobber North (The Griff)Jeffrey Landau
I am filling in for Richard Gluck. Join us. ** LEAVES PROMPTLY AT 5:45 **. The Wednesday night fling is back!! What is it? A training ride for all levels followed by dinner at the Griff. Why is it called "The Fling"? It's a short torrid affair.
This ride usually coalesces around several pace groups, depending upon who is riding.
There are three routes to choose from:
- The Classic, 25 miles, including the climb up John (Last couple of rides have been this route)
- The Creemer Bypass, 23 miles for those who would avoid John
- The Shorty, 13+ miles for those who ride at a more leisurely pace or who are pressed for time
Click Sign Infor all the routes.
We have also revived the tradition of dinner at the Griff. Here is the dinner menu: Sign In Please join us. Dinner was the best part of this ride back in the day. If you do join us, bring cash, keep track of your meal and drinks, add 25% for tax and tip and kindly pay whomever is collecting. Nobody wants to subsidize your Salmon Napoleon, whatever that is.
Sign up even if the ride is full. It's all level and will break up into pace groups, so all will ride. Please indicate the pace level you intend to ride and whether you are planning to stay for dinner in the comments.
Pastor Blaze of Harvest Time Church is graciously allowing us to use the church lot on Wednesday nights. Everyone should be on their best behavior. Using Harvest Time's lot is a privilege, not a right. Please adhere to the following ground rules:
- Park in the back right of the lot, the part farthest from the church. There are likely to be church activities concurrent with the fling. Let's leave the parking spots close to the church for the churchgoers.
- No beer drinking. We be doing that at the Griff after the ride.
- No changing clothing. The Griff has locker rooms if you are inclined to doff your spandex.
- No using the church bathrooms.
- No public micturation. If your bladder is talking to you, ride over to the Griff and use its bathrooms.

- 8:30AC25Tarrytown Lakes to Croton Reservoir in Ossining on Bike PathDon McHugh
This is a great ride for all levels! We'll ride 12.5 miles out to the bridge over the Croton reservoir in the Kitchawan Preserve, take a short break on the bridge, regroup and head back the exact same way. Since, we'll stick to the paved North County Trailway with defined start and stopping points, folks can go at their own pace. Faster riders can forge ahead and wait on the bridge to regroup; we can pick up any stragglers on the way back. I'll likely average 12-14 mph. It's a D+ route, that I will ride at closer to a mid-C pace. If you go the full distance, be mindful: you will want to start looking for the fork off the main bike path around mile 24 to get back to the start at Tarrytown Lake.
We will start at the corner of Neperan Rd & Sunnyside Ave at Tarrytown Lake in Tarrytown. NOTE: the parking lot is small. I've not had a problem in the past; but, you may have to park on one of the side streets across the way, if we attract a crowd.
Please note: I am a fair-weather rider; so this ride may move around depending on the forecast a few days prior. Anything more than a very light drizzle the day of will result in cancellation. Cell: 914-907-3209
