Hike in Beacon, NY on June 7

TTC member Tom B. will be leading a hike out of Beacon NY on Saturday, June 7. The weather looks perfect! Here's his itinerary - 

• A 2 to 3 hour hike at Breakneck Ridge (first hour or so a steep uphill climb with lots of rock scrambling and incredible views of the Hudson Valley, the rest downhill on normal trails). For info about parking, trails, etc., take a look at this link. Tom will not be doing the full loop outlined on that link - he will head up the White Trail, but down a different route - about 5-6 miles in total. 
• Lunch somewhere in Beacon 
• Dessert at Zora Dora's - amazing creamsicles and popsicles (maybe 40 flavors!).

Two meeting places possible - 8:30 a.m. at the Home Depot in Riverdale (meet at the end of the lot closest to Staples) - Tom will leave promptly at 8:30, so don't be late! For those who want to meet in Beacon, meet at the trailhead parking lot at 9:45 a.m. Hike will step off at 10 a.m. 

For what it is worth, there is an MTA stop just north of the parking lot.  It seems to be there strictly for hikers, as it does not appear to have its own parking lot.

Tom's email is tom@bowmaster.us, and his cell is 201-787-7365. If you are planning on meeting Tom at Home Depot, please email him and let him know. You can RSVP to Tom or us to let us know if you are coming - this way Tom will know to wait for you. Sounds like an awesome day of hiking (and popsicles!) - we can't wait! 

Any questions - feel free to get in touch with Tom or us. 

Happy Mothers Day weekend!

Before we post a single thing, let's remember the most important event happening this weekend is Mother's Day! Don't forget to thank the moms in your life for all they do for you! 

• Friday Night Ride will go on for any hardy souls willing to brave the mist and the fog - although any thunderstorms will cancel. Start time is now officially 6 p.m.
• Saturday, May 10 - want a sneak peek at the Rumble in the Jungle race course? Come on out and help us rake and cut back any face-slappers and you'll get a close up first hand look! Meet us at the gate at 12 p.m., and we'll work for about 2 hours or so. We'll work in light rain, but heavy rain will cancel. This is not a Paydirt event, just a chance to get an early look at the race course. 
• Weather permitting, Saturday will also be the grand opening of the West Milford Family Pumptrack for 2014! Some changes from 2013 await all you dirt riders. Any rain will cancel - rain date will be Sunday, May 11. 
• Sunday, May 11, TTC members Cliff and Diana will be headed to NYS for a long scenic road ride (though you may want your cross tires for some of those gravely roads!) They will leave from Margretville, NY at 10 a.m (about 2 hours away by car). They will be doing a shortened version of this route - planning on about 65 miles. Some good climbing, gravely roads, and great scenery! Contact Cliff directly for more info. 

Have a great weekend everyone - especially all our favorite moms!
