Kick off the holiday with early thanks, and commune with nature and movement via cycling (plus work off calories and get some fresh air) B4 all that tryptophane, family/friends, 2nd helpings, desserts, etc.

Simple 9W route to/from Palisades 9W market (yes, they're open that morning). Brief stop for warmup/bevs, then right back. ETA GWB/NYC by 10:45AM

Ride at a conversational pace, steady pedaling, as a group. No Point-Drop-Sweep; one can't get lost on 9W, so if you want a more relaxed pace or to sprint . . see ya there. But must have decent bike and road cycling skills.

Bring the usual (pocket food, hydration, safety and visibility clothing, bike/tire repair ket, etc.). Dress in layers. Cross-listed NYCC.

ADVISO Pls be a few minutes early as we start promptly at 7:30AM; it's brisk out there and no one wants to stand around. Yes, there's shelter (and restrooms) inside the GWB terminal, so if you don't see us on the sidewalk under the overpass on Ft. Washington Ave.do check inside. But be ready for our bike check and prompt departure.
