Boring Century
102 miles
Sunday, August 22, 2021
Route:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37191247
The weather on Sunday is (as of this writing) shaping up to be about as perfect as you can get for a bike ride in August. Given this I will be setting out on straight forward century ride.
The route I've chosen is decidedly and very purposefully boring. 9W has wide shoulders most of the way and the route north of Tarrytown is mostly on a dedicated bike path.
Is this going to be the most interesting ride you've ever done? No! Will you, if you start in Hell's Kitchen and bike out and back, cross 100 miles? Yes! Will it be a boring century? Yes! And honestly, that's for the best.
This is not a supported ride and I do ask that you feel comfortable with:
1. Navigating a route on a GPS device on your own
2. Changing flats on your own

There may be rain during your ride, though not as much as on Saturday.

Hey there, I live up in Nyack. Will you have a rest stop anywhere near? I would like to join up with you up here if it's not a bother.

The timing will
6:15am, mile 0: depart 46/WSH
8:15am, mile 30.8: 30 minute rest stop at Coffee Tab Roasters, Tarrytown
10:45am, mile 60.6: 30 minute rest stop at Rocky's Millwood Deli, Millwood
12:45pm, mile 80.9: 30 minute rest stop at 9W Market
2:45pm: back at 46/WSH
Louis - if you live in Nyack proper I can collect you at the Nyack side of the Cuomo bridge and we can bike across together or I can meet you at the coffee shop noted above in Tarrytown.
I can't bike on Saturday due to other obligations so this ride will be cancelled or pushed to another week if the weather deteriorates as we get closer to Sunday. I will make a final decision Saturday afternoon/evening since I really want to ride Sunday if the weather is vaguely cooperative.
