Okay, it's not that bad.  But one of our fellow bikers reported a news story of damage to the path during the recent storm.  I called the Park Office, and the damage was described as a 10-foot sinkhole, near the start of our ride in Bethpage State Park.  I was told that the path is usable, but that we would have to go around the hole (just in case we couldn't figure that one out). 

The forecast for this Saturday looks good, but as always, I recommend calling the Trail Boss hotline after 6am on the morning of the trip, just in case.  If there's anything new about the condition of the path, I'll include that in the recorded message. 

See you soon.

George.
