NY area buggying this weekend?
It will be dark for both low tides this weekend at Long Beach, so my local spot is out.
Anyone know of a good place to ride within about an hour of NYC that has a favorable forecast for this weekend?

So... Wildwood isnt a bad call. Might be a little out of your driving distance, but off-shore winds means that tides are not as big of an issue down
there. Granted, you will still get better riding when the tide is low, but the wind will be blowing the tide farther out than normal. If I didnt
already have plans, I might consider heading down for the weekend... forecast looks like fun...

Thanks ragden- Sadly WW is a bit far for a daytrip at 4 1/2 hrs door to door-
I'm hoping someone will chime in with an awesome spot a little closer that I never heard of : )

Saturdays forecasted NW wind direction is onshore @ Keansburg Beach. But like Long Beach, the mid day hightide is a deal breaker  Not much beach and all soft @ high-mid tide. 30 minutes drive and I'd
guess < 2 hour drive from L.I. Keep Keansburg in mind for N-W.
Might have to hit the local fields this weekend. I need a fix. Got skunked twice at IBSP, so No rides since WWBB

Winds may be decent tomorrow (saturday) at Atlantic Beach(Long Island)
SSW Winds 1pm-6pm. 11-14mph.
Problem is tides, Low tide at 5:00pm. We should be able to ride starting around 2:30-3:00.
I'd even show up for a static session before then.
I've been out of the buggy way too long!
Any Takers?

If the forecast holds, it looks like I'll be buggying on the ice of Chaumont Bay. Didn't get any bike chain for the buggy wheels, so unless there's a
little crust, I prolly won't get much traction, but the video might be hilarious! :duh: You guys have fun on the L.I. Beach, and get well Cheezy, so
if and when we get snow on the hill, you can bring the boy up and have him show you(and me, too)how it's done!

Hey all- so as of this morning the forecast looks good enough for me to head out. WeatherUndergroud and weather.com are both calling fro S/SW winds
around 13mph for the late afternoon. Low Tide is around 4:45, so we should have good riding from about 2PM on... sooner if you have bigger tires, or
the recent rain has compacted the sand for us.
If you haven't been out with us before, here's a google map link to the meetup spot:
http://www.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214206214822938416340.000...
Looks like Martin and I will be there between 1 and 2PM, and I think Kober may join in as well.

Thanks to Martin, Kristin, Martin's Roomate Aaron, Conrad, Rob and all the locals who joined us for a great day of bugging and landboarding today.
The weather far surpassed the forecast with winds blowing pretty steady between 18-22 all afternoon dead on-shore!
Put some real miles on the buggy today- and hit a new personal best of 26mph on a beam reach! :bigok:
I'll work to get some video up soon as I can- I'm sure Kober will be uploading some great footage as well. Can't wait to do it all again soon!
