Bruce,  For future reference, do you have the contact person, name and number to
call
if someone needs to park there earlier than 6am?   Ave

Folks,

As you know, SUNY is now ticketing cars parked in W2, so we need to
park in W1 from now on.  Unfortunately, they still ticket cars parked
before 6am.  This is not normally a concern for us, but it is for the
double century.  SUNY is asking for plate numbers of all those who
will be parking at SUNY.

So, if you plan on doing the double this Sunday and parking at SUNY,
please send me your plate number.

FYI.  Looks like our Pres David Wilson, fixed up the tickets.  But I
need your ticket number.  Send them to me and I will forward them on

PS. Perry or Rob, can you find out it Elliot got a ticket (probably)
and let him know to get in touch.  Not sure if he is on this list.

Subject: SUNY Purchase Parking Update #2 - Tickets to be voided
To: bruce@...


Folks,

Just got off the phone with Donna Salter, the new director of parking
and transporation at Purchase College. It turns out that she heads up
a new department, under the auspices of the Purchase College
Association, that is running the parking operation. Under new rules,
Lot W-2 is now off-limits for visitors who lack permits on their cars.
The Purchase authorities want us now to park in W-1, the first lot you
come to as you come in. She suggested we park over by the booth as you
drive in.

There's not a problem from 6 a.m. on. If a ride like the Double
Century is to leave from 6 a.m., she needs a heads-up, at
Donna.salter@... so she can alert the ever-vigilant SUNY
cops.

As for the people who received tickets, Ms. Salter has agreed to void
the tickets. I'll need the ticket numbers and your names, so please
email that info to me by responding to his email. She has agreed to do
it without you having to go to Harrison Town Court.

Yours no longer ticketed off,

WCC President David Wilson

Thanks for the ride!   Rob S.

I've been following this group for a little while and knew the 14th was the date
for the Double Century; I was hoping the 300K would be a different date (now I
understand this is the double century ride).  Unfortunately I'm away next
weekend (long-standing commitment).

I am looking ahead to July 11 to ride the Mt Greylock Century in Western MA. 
It's only 100 miles, but it is 9800' of elevation. See
http://www.bikeride.com/calendar/event.asp?id=15462 for details.

Have a great ride on the 14th; wish I was there.

Welcome, Peter!

Sunday the 14th, the same day as other long rides of the club.
The whole ride looks to be under 4000 feet elevation gain so it's virtually

When are you thinking of doing this ride?  I'm interested; I'm more of a B+
rider than an A-.  I've done 150 miles before, but it was a flat 150 (Manhattan
to Montauk).

I can't make this weekend's ride, but am hoping to be able to join next weekend
and for the double.  Are the details of where and when the rides start
available?  Perry

Following up on yesterday's 114 miles from Pawling to Great Barrington and back,
I feel ready to try this longer challenge.  Sun. June 14th, Moderate B pace
(14-15), approximate start time, 5:30am (still TBD), Pawling Train Station.

We would follow the route of the Double Century south to Croton Falls, meet the
B riders heading north who are attempting 200 miles, and share the route to
Great Barrington and back to Pawling.  Distance will be approximately 147 miles.

The key to my ride will be the relaxed pace in order to save energy for the long
haul.

Please contact me at avram53@...   or    914-831-5616 if you are
interested in sharing this ride.

Best, Ave

Ave,
I've been called out of town this weekend.  I have to be at the PDA College
tournament all 3 days.  I just got the notice today.

This coming Sat., 5/23rd, I'm riding 113 miles from Pawling to Great Barrington
and back.
8:30am start.  Brad Kenyon is planning to start from Sleepy Hollow at dawn and
try to get to Pawling train station by 8:30 to join me.  Who else would like to
do the 113 with me?

After Saturday, I'm not sure I'll be able to schedule a weekend date for an
additional long ride.  Brad and I may schedule a longer ride on a weekday if you
are interested in that.

On Sunday June 14th, I will plan to do my longest ride, distance still TBD, but
hopefully 125 to 150 miles using the same roads + additional roads going south
toward Croton Falls and then back to Pawling.    Who would like to share that
ride with me?  (Brad is planning to do the Double Century on that day)

As a modest B rider, this is my big challenge for the year and I would enjoy
sharing it with similar minded riders!

For those interested in doing the double this year, I would like to remind you I
have a 75 mile training ride tomorrow, Sat May 16th.  It starts at 8am at the
Yorktown Commuter parking lot off Underhill Ave at the town hall.

The whole point of the training ride is to ride for a long time and see what you
forgot.  Better to forget something on a 75 mile ride than on a 200 mile ride. 
One stop, tempo pace.

Bill, Gus, Larry, Lisa, James and Don,

Thanks for your responses.   I will also plan some long distance rides prior to
June 14th, again using the same roads.  Might even start with the upper 100 loop
again from Wingdale.   I'd like to try to target 125 to 150 miles as the final
goal.

I'll contact you directly to pick dates for these lead up rides.

Ave

FYI, I am still planning for the challenge of a long ride on Sunday, June 14th.
Basic details: Start and finish in Pawling. Approx. 113 miles from Pawling north to Great Barrington and back using the same route as the double century. Possible add on of additional mileage, to be determined, using much of the same route running south of Pawling and then back up Rt. 22. (There's plenty of ways to cut back to Rt. 22 North) I'm not sure yet how many miles I'm going to target, and it might be a psychological bummer to finish 113 miles back in Pawling and then keep riding south to add on more miles, but we'll see what happens. But this may also work well for riders who are ready to finish at 113 miles. There should be plenty of sunlight with this kind of a ride, and a nice opportunity to eat and hang out in Pawling for a while afterwards.

Please remind me if you're interested?
