Steven’s Pool

The pool will be closed on Thursday (for Graduation) as well as Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the holiday.

Happy Hour

The best…er…most fun way to replace all those carbs, fluids and vitamins from the Saturday ride/race is by imbibing a liter (or two) of some fine german lagers (or if you’re like lance armstrong michelob ultra), chomp on a kraut covered bratwurst and relax on the outdoor picnic-table seating with Andrew C and your favorite training partners at the Zepplin Hall Beer Garden in Jersey City.   Never been?  We have you covered: http://www.zeppelinhall.com/location/.
