Mid-Week Biking with Neal Pisanti
The 2024 bicycling season is here. Our members meet mid-week for trips that are usually range from 10 to 30 miles. Most rides are announced by e-mail on Sunday night for the following Wednesday or an alternate day, weather permitting.**Helmets are required, and water or another hydration source strongly recommended.** Also, riders should carry a spare inner tube and any tools needed to change a flat tire. Sometimes we meet afterwards for lunch, or perhaps for a glass of wine at a winery. Come ride with us. No one will be left behind. E-mail Neal at nealmichael@hotmail.com . It is important that riders follow safety protocols, such as signaling turns, calling out hazards, approaching cars, etc. Refer to the following League of American Bicyclists (LAB) website for the following safety tips: LAB Safety Tips

Mid-Week Skiing with Gary Schorr
The 2023-2024 ski season has wrapped up, but we will be ready for the 2024-2025 season. Those retired or who can take time off from work will enjoy trips to our local ski areas on weekdays when the crowds are smaller. We normally carpool to several areas upstate including Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, and Catamount. Those wishing to carpool meet at 6am in Christopher Morley Park, just off exit 36 of the LIE. Email Gary at gss12@optonline.net to receive notices of these mid-week ski day trips.
Cross Country Skiing
Sometimes opportunities arise for local cross country skiing, if we ever get snow. Destinations would probably be Bethpage State Park, or another local public site. Contact fiftyplusski@outlook.com if you want to be notified of when a cross country ski outing is planned.
