Sure! Of course, you won't be permitted to shift or use those brakes during 
the ride...but sure!

Will post more details once things warm up a bit more, couple a few weeks.

Would you guys let a Salsa Vaya join the pack? I know I know, pesky 
brifters and disc brakes. But hey, I run fat rubber!

Hi Bob. We have great riding in every direction here. This was a real 
simple route, I will try to google map it for you. Let me know if/when you 
plan on coming up this way.

And there's always the Metro-North railroad which, for a one time fee of $5, 
allows you to take your bike for a ride to the rides.

Hi Roberta,

The bag is a Sackville Saddlesack XSmall - tan available from Riv here: 
https://www.rivbike.com/collections/bags/products/sackville-saddlesack-xsmall-tan
It is a great bag and cavernous for anything with XSmall in its description. 
Not so big that it hits the backs of your legs while pedaling.

That area where Mark lives is great riding and worth the trip if it seems far. 
I drove up on Saturday from Dobbs Ferry, New York and it took just under a 
hour. Next time I hope to also be in "shape" and ride up.

When these future rides happen, all will be welcome.

Bill in Westchester, NY

What is that saddle bag on the Appaloosa? The size looks "perfect."

Also, if you aren't too far up in NYS closer to the NJ line and I get a Riv 
and get in shape by then, I might be able to join you.

Roberta

Hey Mark! Great ride report. Cool to hear about listers meeting up for a 
ride. Would you mind posting route details? With the weather warming up, 
I'm starting to think about rides I wanna come do up there.
