Program: C Riders - Spring Ride OfferingsDo you want to go from riding in well spaced-out groups to a beautiful straight line, with a group of people that don't take themselves too seriously and are always out to have some fun?
Then join us for a Zoom meeting on March 4 at 7pm to hear about our special C Rides planned for this Spring.
The rides will begin at the end of March and continue into May except as noted below. There will be several “Welcome New Member Rides” aimed at newcomers to the club, a Saturday series of “Coaching Rides,” a Saturday and Sunday series of “STS”-style rides, and several “Explore Your City Rides.”
The Welcome New Member Rides and Explore Your City Rides, to be led by Linda Wintner, Jim Finder, and Julie Blackburn, will be relatively short rides with the focus on visiting interesting places and allowing riders to get to know one another and start to get back in shape for more challenging rides later in the season. Linda, Jim, and Julie will continue their rides on some weekends through the Summer and Fall.
The Coaching Rides to be led by Paul Hofherr and Ness Rahmey will focus on teaching riders safe and competent group riding skills in a friendly and relaxed environment. There is no need to sign up for the entire series -- new skills will be added each week with a quick review of the basics from previous rides.
The STS-style rides, to be led by Jim Zisfein (Sundays) and Jerry Ross (Saturdays), will be a graduated series of rides, starting with a 30-mile relatively easy ride into Bergen County and working up over 8 weeks to a 65-mile ride to Nyack and across the Hudson River on the new and gorgeous Mario Cuomo (aka Tappan Zee) Bridge. In between, there will be rides to Staten Island, Mamaroneck, and other destinations in our usual riding territory in Bergen, Rockland, and Westchester Counties. Again, there is no need to sign up for the entire series.
All the rides will follow the NYCC Covid protocols, which means the groups will be limited to 8 riders plus 2 or perhaps 3 leaders and will not rely on using commuter trains. Some of the rides will start at subway stations, giving riders the option of taking the subway or riding to the start.
All these rides will be listed on the NYCC Ride listing page.
On March 4, we will explain our plans in more detail and have time for Q&A. Members and non-members are welcome to join this call but only members will be permitted to join the rides.
The presenters will be:
- Jerry Ross, VP-Rides and Saturday C-STS
