NYC Greenway: Soundz Express
- Thread starter Magic
- Start date
In like the Donkey Kong depending on which Saturday...
Saturday, 11/26 - Tentative date.
Who: Join @jmanic, @soundz, and myself for a tour of NYC Greenway, hopefully peek into Central Park, maybe even Henry Hudson @ PalPark.
What: A casual road ride around NYC, probably the usual 30-50 miles depending on route. We will stop when needed because @C8N will have to pee and I will need coffee.
Where: Metered parking in Fort Lee located here. Unfortunately only Sunday is free parking. Bring quarters, or download MobileNOW! The app is convenient in that you can extended time remotely, but you have to pre-load a minimum $20 to start.
When: TBD, but expect 8am-ish.
Why: Because bicycles.
Will update here if we move the date. Hope to see some of you there!

I was always told they don't let bikers park there, same with Fort Lee Historic Park. @jmanic?
Too much elevation for the newbs.
I parked there with no issues a few weeks ago. There where several other cars unloading bikes as well. I did not see any signs with parking restrictions.
Magic, you pay $20+ to park with the newbs to avoid a 10 minute climb.
More like ~$4 for a full day, but no, I embrace the climbs. Not so much downhill drops, but luckily you don't get those on the road.

If it wasn't for family thingamajig... I would be so IN.
What about circumnavigating the island? Just to say we did.
That's cool with me. I know you wanted to do that last time too.
Don't really have a set plan and I'm down for whatever since my century has been checked off already, but CP can always be a later stop if we have folks that have never been there on a bike before.
I'm always a maybe and then bail last minute on these. I'm more likely this time to join...
The spot under the bridge where Iggy posted has the huge uphill but is basically fine for parking.
Beware of Fort Lee Historic Park. They may either charge or ticket. They hated cyclists in the past. I know as my friend worked/works there. Although I think they did only charge a few bucks and that was during the warmer months. YMMV. That's probably where I'd park.
It's uphill after the ride, Iggy's park is dowhill after the ride...

They put legitimate meters there now. It is no longer a free option.
