NY Riders, Helllllo?

Are there any riders around NYC and CT?
Our lake is 50 miles North of NYC and 30 minutes West of Candlewood Lake in Connecticut.
Check out Lake Mahopac, Zip code 10541.
We are trying to group.
NJersey Riders did a great job of it.

Hey Mike, Hope you get a NY crew going up there.

If I want to come to Mahopac, is there a good ramp I can use? I could possibly come up on a friday or monday to avoid crowds, or should I just try a saturday morning early?

Weekends are getting booked for me, except maybe aug. 18-19th.

if you are having a riding day, I am down, otherwise its quite a trip for me to make in a day. Seems nobody looked or responded, but in Central NY, near Utica area we ride, the thread is "Epic Day in Central NY" some threads down, theres some pictures of all of us riding and stuff. Would like to meet new ppl in NY its just I have the lake in my backyard... but let me know about events, would be nice to meet new ppl

Dave,
There are two Marinas that have great launch pads either $15 or $20 to Launch.
Also two restaurants with parking slips for food and drinks.
Pick any Morning the lake will be yours, you can drive up with a crew and use my boat as well,i have an 07 X-2.
Come up Friday and ride all day, just be ready to play a few games of beer pong at my house.

"Riding Day" can be any time you want to saddle up and take a drive, i will set it up.

Hit me on email m.baione@att.net as a computer at lake house is taboo, I will get it on blackberry.

Dave, we have an 05 X-Star we can use to make you feel more at home, it is orange and yellow though.

Don't forget about the 06 Sanger V215. There's always room for more riders. Fridays work great during the day. Long weekend, full day or riding and time to party.

nice poke!

hey guys. i'm part of the new jersey crew also. i live in manhattan and am interested in riding....well, just about everywhere. i've got limited access to a car and it seems that mahopac is just over an hr from the city. anybody know of train's that run?

Dave - if you wanted to head up, i'd definately be down to take the trip. as it is, i'm used to traveling over 2 hrs to bordentown. let's see if we can plan a "cut work and ride" day soon.

wakeboardny.com coming soon.

just checked the trains. metro-north heads to croton falls (1 hr) which is less than 20 minutes from mahopac. anybody know how to get from the train to the lake. otherwise driving is an option...


anybody know of people riding on long island sound? i've seen boats but can't manage to meet any riders.

I think Metro North to Goldens Bridge may be better.

Charles, we'll set a day for this road trip for sure.

Mike, Can you give me directions from the Tappen Zee bridge? (Is towing a boat allowed on the Saw Mill? I don't think it is)

Use 684 instead of the Saw Mill. I don't think that towing is legal on any of the Parkways.

Grand Central to Croton Falls is 1 hour, then 10 minute drive to lake.
Noooooo trailers on Saw mill or Taconic Pkwys.
From Tappan Z ( 45 minutes) take 287 East to 684 North, exit off 684 is called Hardscrabble Road make left ......(10 minutes from here) you will pass croton falls train station.
At this point pretty much everyone can tell you where "Lake Mahopac" is.
m.baione@att.net i can meet you there.
Adam when you comin out?
Charles i am on UES, no excuses for U.Cutting work sounds good.

When are we doin this? Let's shoot for next Friday.

Cool with Me.
Nice BR yesterday!!

Mike, I'll be away every friday until august 17th, so hopefully that day Charles and I can come up, maybe drag some more friends with us.

Saw Mahopac on mapquest satellite, looks very nice! Are any of those other small lakes/reservoirs powerboat friendly?

bert,
do you have any pics of lake to post?
will be up to ride tomorrow from 3 to 5 if you can.
Only Lake Mahopac is boat friendy, its split lake is called "Kirk Lake" just next door, it has boats but is private.

I am away next week but should be free to ride Friday the 10th or the 17th.

my old boat and Lake Mahopac.

Pictures quality is rough... but this is me doing a hs bs triple linde switch ts to pl. Yes, thank you for the applause.




This is my Sanger V215. Always room for more riders.

that lake looks awesome. i haven't wakeboarded on an actual lake for about 4 years!

Is that your red wakeboard?

Hey Dave, if you head up, lemme know. Sadly enough, Mahopac isnt that much further for me than bordentown, lol.
And Mike, if you ever need a 3rd, lemme know.... schedule permitting I'd be down to take the drive up

If the weathers good we need a 3rd, email me when you can go.

I am out, heading to lake for wknd.

Mike, the lake looks great in that pic.
To see some pics of the Delaware river where we ride, look for the thread "2007 NJ Wakefest pics"

So do you have an X-star now?

Delaware River looks sweet, great what you guys have set up down there going to take time to get NY rolling.
I have an 07 X-2 (mini xstar), friend has an X-Star which we have access to as well.

Congrats on the new X-2. They are sweet boats with tons of interior space! (I can't believe how much room they have for a 20 footer!)

Dave, we might be going to Deleware River weekend of Aug.11th, thinging of bringing a boat and doing some rafting.

Bert,
Props on winning "8 jump contest" upping anti on a longer rope this week....watch out.
Great weekend Bro, Cari was a rockstar too.

Mike, I'll be at Brostock on Smith Mountain lake the weekend of 11-12th, so I won't be around.

If you still want to head down and need directions or river hazard info, let me know.

River Hazard info would be good.

Avoid dead low tide when launching if possible.
Go to http://www.saltwatertides.com/dynamic.dir/delawareriversites.html
Click on "Trenton" for tide chart

When coming out of Bordentown ramp, go out channel past buoy that's red with green stripe.
If you go north (right) stay in the channel at all times. There are rocks just outside the channel on both sides of the river.
If you go south (left) you're much safer. Still I would recommend staying in the channel, don't hug either shoreline since it's your first time there. The river twists and turns so you should be able to find smooth water. You can go for miles if heading south.

Oh yeah, make sure you have a skier flag up (orange) when riding, NJ law.

cool, ty

Dave, we are heading down there next weekend(Aug.10th)neither of our boats are registered were just going to raft and chill, thanks for the info. anyway.

Mike, you should come down on the 18th instead. I should be around then to give you guys some pulls.

My NJ crew is looking slim for the 17th Mahopac trip. Hopefully I can spark some more interest in the upcoming weeks.

I ride out on long island, in the peconic you can always find flat water but we also ride in portjefferson there are two bays in there that you can ride at.

Dave, dont worry man, we'll make sure we get a couple other from the crew to make the trip!

Cant make the 18th TY anyway, keep me posted on the 17th at our lake. We are still good.

Hey Mike, how often you guys ride up there?

been averaging 4 times a week, mostly evenings midweek.

lemme know if you ever have room for an extra.. I usually have off during the week and I'm always down to ride

anyone know of any slider/kickers in Ny or Ct?

Chris, Always room for an extra rider. I'll send you an email when we ride.

Hit the wakes-

Where abouts are you? I'm in Ct and looking for some people to hook up with. Send me a message and let me know! Thanks bro- Mike

Mike, take 84 going West, when you get into NY it is about 15 minutes away.
We are riding this Friday Chris and Dave you guys still in?

im on candlewood lake

Dave, Mike, come by this Friday we will be on lake all day. We are trying to build a crew of new riders in our area.

Ya Man. This Friday is looking good. Let's keep track of the weather. If that cooperates even slightly... we're good. Keeps the tubers off the lake. We'll have the Sanger and the MC there so just come on over.

Who's in? Friday morning 10:00am?
Mike and I will be setup.

Mike, looks like we're going to take a pass on this friday. Staying close to home and riding at Bordentown.

Still want to come up to Mahopac someday, maybe after Labor day. Feel free to come down and hit B-town anytime.

Mike, like dave said, gonna stay local on friday. I also have to hit AC fri night for my sisters bday, so this makes it easier. Definitely gotta hit up the lake w/ you guys real soon though. I'm off a lot during the week so we'll figure it out. And Dave, I'm off for 8 days after labor day, so lets plan somethin!

Any friday you guys want to rally is good for me, even last minute keep me posted.
David i was on Candlewood today from about 3 till 6 p.m. I was over by "chicken rock jump" water was nice, 3 other Wkbd boats were out..Is that where you ride?
If you have room sometime i would be up for it, 35 minute drive from Mahopac to Down the Hatch!!

My new ride, just dialed in with Fly High ballast system. Thanks Bert for installing it, and fixing Biminy top... and installing Sirius and.....protector above ski platform.... you rock bro.

Mike, I'll def. let you know about coming up in the very near future, most likely a friday.
Your spot on the lake looks awesome, as does your new X-2! Nice boat!
Will your lift hold my X-star?
J/K

By about 2", plus you would have to be pretty much empty. Water is deep you could easily tie up to my dock.
