We also have a place up in the Catskills and will be up there for Labor Day weekend with assorted guests. You're welcome to visit. There's a nice bike ride into Woodstock from there.

I saw pix and knew the Brooklyn Bridge was a must!<br />As to when, here is the strange thing. I had been promising Lex 'The Little Mermaid' on B'way. It ends Aug. 30. I pedal slower than that, lol. So no matter where I am I will take a bus to NYC on Aug 28, minus the bike (Olive Oily?) to see the show and stay a couple of night. Then i shall ride back and continue the bike trip.<br />AlanAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169825920966173300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932924021203779947.post-72356749049870581162009-07-21T21:30:51.702-05:002009-07-21T21:30:51.702-05:00Alan - when you get to NYC, you've gotta ride ...Alan - when you get to NYC, you've gotta ride the west side bike path from Harlem down to the Trade Center site, and through Battery Park. It's a beautiful path - lots of smooth pavement and fantastic views of the Hudson and piers. You could continue from Battery Park to City Hall and over the Brooklyn Bridge (that's a MUST!) and then back to the city via the Manhattan Bridge, which will spit you out into Chinatown. From there you could go up the East Side, the United Nations, cross town to Central Park. The variety is endless. When will you be in NY?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779321543908938202noreply@blogger.com
