Cross Country Cycles is hosting a ride to Bear Mountain, NY on June 6th (Tuesday) at 10am. Sign in is at 9:30am. It is about a 150 mile round trip. Show up gassed and ready to go.

Thanks for the word, Pat. I wouldn't have known otherwise. I'll find out tomorrow if I can get Tuesday off...surely hope so. I'll send you email tomorrow if I can get it ....maybe hook up for the ride up to Metuchen.

We rode from Cross country BMW (the first of their rides of the summer), 9 bikes, to the New Jersey Palisades, above the George Washington Bridge.

From there its up the Palisades Interstate Parkway to Stony Point and west across the park to lunch at the Red Apple. A fine road despite the FRESH OIL . After lunch it was a heavenly cruise...woods and lakes...to Perkins Memorial, above Bear Mountain. This involves my favorite thing: powering uphill on the RS.

Now something seems to be happening..something I didn't see start so I don't know just what it is. It must have been something good going on because our leader looks a little freaked.

All in all, a good day. Good roads, good company, good bikes. I hope that I'll see these folks on another ride this summer.
