NYC-area GeoMeetup on Bikes?

October 22, 2022 By in Cycling, GIS Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

[UPDATE 2023-01-21] I just registered for the Five Boro Bike Tour on May 7, 2023. Let me know if you want to ride the Tour together. If you are not up for the Tour but would still like to meet up on bikes (like some poll respondents), let me know your location preferences.

I have broached this subject a number of times over the past few years, got little traction. I’m giving it the old college try one more time.

Many geo people in the NYC area ride bikes. How about we meet up? A geomeetup on bikes. In the NYC area.

Help me gauge interest in the form below. We’ll play it by ear, depending on responses.

UPDATE 2020-06-13: Yesterday I inched up ahead of the curve, meaning that I got 45.84% to my goal 44.81% into the year. NerdsЯUs, I know…

After having plateaued around 1,500 miles per year for each of the past five years, I aim to ride 2,020 miles in 2020. This is both a physical (I am not 17 anymore) and logistical (full-time job) challenge. A challenge I welcome and embrace, for it helps take my mind off all the craziness that surrounds us. Call it mental escapism.

So while the rest of the world worries about the coronavirus and politics and toilet paper shortage and Bitcoin crashing, I’ll be thinking about ride schedules and training schedules and bike tuning and nutrition and rest. I’ll be making charts and graphs. I’ll be listening to ABBA and Billie Eilish.

You should join me, even if only in spirit.

I’ll go first.

I went for a bike ride yesterday. Nothing new, except this time I allowed myself to break away from the pursuit of performance metrics (speed, distance, etc.), and focused instead on the journey (autumn, sun, cool air, trees). What a difference! I still hit some decent numbers, but that was secondary.

Here’s a pic from a break I took along Canal Road and the Delaware and Raritan Canal in Franklin Township, New Jersey:
