Hey cool...I grew up in Mamaroneck on Prospect Ave, at the bottom of the dead end street next to the Westchester Jewish Center on Palmer Ave. I loved it there, graduated from MHS in 1978. Boy do I miss that town.
Cheers,
Brian

You sold your S60R, correct? I sold my '04 and still have an '05 V70R, but may sell that too since my household miles/yr ~6K and my wife will pick-up her '06 LR3 HSE on Friday. But otherwise, I still love having the ultimate sport wagon, which is perfect for cycling and hauling kids, etc.CHT said:I'm out very early during the week (before 5:30 a.m.), so not a good candidate for evening rides, but wanted to say hello. We spoke a few times after posting on a Volvo enthusiast site. I was the guy who lives in Chappaqua. Glad to hear you are back on the road.
Still have the S60R. It's an '04, and unlike all of the posts I've read, it's been pretty much problem free. Maybe this is due to the lack of mileage (also about 6K per year).24Hours said:You sold your S60R, correct?

Thanks for the note. I've never really "left the road", but have renewed my effort to find a night ride partner. I had a close call last week and it got me to thinking again. Are you doing any group rides on the weekends? I've been distracted, but intend to bite the bullet and start riding the Gimbles rides.
Cheers.

Have not been doing group rides on the weekend. I'll go out alone or with a few riders (typically less than 10). I've toyed with doing Gimbels...especially last year when I started doing some racing...but haven't particpated. A few times I rode a bit with the pack as I got sucked up by the group on the local roads. I always figure I will get dropped unless there is some regrouping after it gets intense. This year, I'm still a few weeks away from being in shape to even consider that type of ride.
Night time is tough...I never feel comfortable when its dark in the morning.
The best (most traffic, and hence best info) is www.swedespeed.com.trener1 said:This is way OT....
But can you point me to a couple of the Volvo enthusiast sites?
Cool, thanks for the advice. I'll test my luck. I just want to ride w/ some smart riders and avoid the hazards of riding with novices. I understand the ride ends in Mamaroneck on Rte 1, which suits me as that's minutes from my house!trener1 said:... if you stick to the shorter version, it's not that crazy hard.

Thanks for the Gimbels tip. Up by me (Northern Westchester) is where I think the ride realy gets going based on the pace, the screaming, and sprints for landmarks.
You blocked e-mails, but I sent you a personal message. I'm in for a weekend group ride and would like to join you. Please send along some more info.Broroad said:If anyone wants good loops feel free to email me.
