Hi all, been a while... I did a NJ ride 2 weeks ago that was pretty damn good - and found some new maps I want to try (Scenic App - awesome)... is there any local interest in a 50-70 mile ride starting Sat morning weather permitting? :thumbup::thumbup:
Supply and demand man ... You could have asked for more! Why do I have this odd uncomfortable feeling as if a family member left? They better treat it well!!!
So I've spent 2 days now trying to find a GPS app with which I (well for a friend, but I'd love to know too) can upload a KML or GPX file and get turn by turn directions. I don't mind paying a few bucks, but I also don't want to throw money away just to see the app doesn't do what I want. Does...
What are you stomping grounds? I would love to go to Glenn Cove again but someone who knows it well would rock. Anywhere else on the island would be great. Starting from Valley Stream (way of Brooklyn). I'd love to start early like 10 or so. Open to ideas

At this point I am likely (if no tiny family members remain sick) riding Brooklyn->Valley Stream to meet a friend Sunday Morning 4/24 - and we will likely stay in the LI area. Any ideas/takers welcome. I will update the thread w/ definitive info.
Right after you plan it ;) - I miss the NJ/PA Erci stomping grounds as well to be honest. All the stop/go commuting I've been doing probably sapped any skill (questionable already) I might have had...
I can respond in one word: YES.
it does suck - thats why I love getting a bit out... I envy all the folks who dont have to ride 2 hours away to get some 'open spaces'...
Of course - but you'll have to convince the weather to play ball. I actually want to try this 5-Hour Green Rural Loop from Manhattan | New York Motorcycle Roads and Rides | MotorcycleRoads.com or this Long Island's North Shore Tour | New York Motorcycle Roads and Rides | MotorcycleRoads.com
DUE To the Weather - we are making this Very early! 5.30am meeting at 36 Sydney place Brooklyn. Reason being that it'll rain late morning and my friend is visiting from Florida and wants to get a few hours in. I won't txt folks because well... its 11pm and we only decided now. SORRY BUT ALL...
Other than Bear Mtn, there are 2 other choices - I dont know the area,
Bronx River Parkway - Yonkers to White Plains and back
Taconic to Tappan Zee to Palisades Pkwy South to NJ
(Anthony) I kinda know your preference :) - but what do you think about the other two?
Couple of friends are organizing a small ride this weekend, either to Bear Mnt, Palisades toward NJ, or Whiteplains/Yonkers. Will start morning. Anyone in the area free to join or voice an opinion :rockon:.
It was a great ride until we got further into the island and construction and traffic ruined it. When I do it again I'll likely do about half ... The best roads are very early on anyway! Bayville area is the best part!! [emoji1]

This came out of the blue - I propose playing hookie and trying : Long Island's North Shore Tour | New York Motorcycle Roads and Rides | MotorcycleRoads.com
Its kind of birthday thing for a buddy ...
Meeting point would be Valley Stream around 10am or so. I don't know the roads at all so...
I tried to turn my plans inside out but theres no way I will be able to make it... In sorry. And my buddy who was coming had a fight w his wife so all in all bad timing ... I'm sorry. Pls keep me posted for next time.!!

Replied to your other thread:
Trying to make this happen (juggling family/priorities/etc). Also trying to grab another rider or two from LI ... hope it works out for you w/ or w/o us!
