https://nycc.org/node/179699 Ride to the Piermont Bike Shop w/Lunch at Mountain House Saturday, August 12, 2023 10:00 AM We'll take a nice back-roads route to Piermont, stop for 15 minutes or so at the Piermont Bicycle Connection, https://www.piermontbike.com/us/, and then have lunch at The Mountain House. The bike shop gives a 10% discount to NYCC members. The bike shop has a coffee bar with pastries, and a restroom. After shopping, we'll proceed directly to lunch at The Mountain House (http://www.mountainhousepizza.com/). NOTE: We’ll be meeting at the J. Hood Wright Park, entrance at 173rd & Ft. Washington Ave, which is near the 1 and A trains. There's a restroom there. Please get there at or before 10am so that we can pull out promptly. The route to Piermont will include a pit stop at a bagel shop at mile 9.4. You may also want to bring a little snack to tide you over until lunch. The following RWGPS and cue sheet give the basic route. Notes:The cue and RWGPS still show the old south path over the GWB. The pit on the route at 11.3 is for a winter ride, so we'll skip that one. And, we'll definitely stop at mile 26.7 for a final pit before Walnut, which we'll each take at our own pace and regroup at the top. This is meant to be an easy ride--no personal bests are expected. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41578617 http://www.roboviva.ninja/roboviva/pdfs/41578617.pdf If you sign up and then cannot make the ride, PLEASE REMEMBER TO WITHDRAW ONLINE using the blue "withdraw" tab in this ride listing.
