You know it's a law in Brooklyn that it's natives follow the Mets. Maybe you didn't stay in Brooklyn too long. Yonkers is a hop, skip, and a jump from me and I was up in West Haverstraw last Sunday for the March of Dimes ride with Dee Snyder. The finish point was the West Haverstraw County Park on Gagen Road. It was simply beautiful over there. You must have ridden your share of Bear Mountain when living there. Here are a couple of pics from the park in West Haverstraw

Thanks. Those are great pictures! Reminds me of home. I lived in "Village on the Green" off route 9W in Haverstraw for 14 years. I was a Mets fan growing up. Came up here when I got married. Wife's a Red Sox fan. When the kids were born they got interested in the Yankees and so I switched. I like the Mets as well (unusual, I know).

Norm, you riding tomorrow? OR working? We're meeting at the Bow, NH Hampton Inn at 9 - 9:30am. Exit one of I89 from I93. 5 riders at this point.

Norm · 07-02-2009, 08:19 PM

Oh yeah, Bear Mountain. Road up there a thousand times: bike, car, hitch hike.

Eric,

I'm not working tomorrow but my daughter's home from college (she's doing a summer internship and came home for a few days) so we're probably going to hang out tomorrow. If you're around Saturday or Sunday I may take a ride up to meet you.

Norm, the wife and I are seriously considering this one Sunday. Supposed to be a great day too!

July 5th - Curtis Ribs Ride - NESR Forums

I think Rob and Keira or at least Rob, will be going. Let us know if you're interested. They do leave at 9am SHARP too.

Thanks Eric. I went to the link but I didn't see the route (probably looked right over it. About how long a ride is it?

OK, I got it. I basically did that ride when I went up to Vermont last week. I'll pass this time. If you're around your house I may try to stop by tomorrow, if that's OK with you. If it is OK would you PM me your address. Or you are welcome to come to me.
