Thanks to whoever came up with the idea of setting up a swap table for last night's meeting. Three of my unworn jerseys found new homes. Evan Marks sold a pair of shoes (and he still has a saddle available, he said).
Bargains for the buyers, clean closets for the sellers--excellent idea. Will it become a regular thing?
Also, thanks to Pieter and Rich for their informative presentation on organizing bike tours. Having done a bit of touring on my own, I found Pieter's advice and cultural insights helpful. And Rich's high-tech visuals were enjoyable--made me want to take a vacation.
And thanks again Fred for the tire. It was fun carrying home on my bike, along with a large backpack and 20-pound lock and chain.

No one bought my stuff. But I got one of Carol's winter jerseys and somehow ended up with Maggie Schwartz' Diadoras. Maggie, did you abandon them or do you want them back?

swap table
The NYCC had had a swap table at club meetings for at least twenty years or so - not continuously - but frequently!
Empty barrels make the most noise!

My Diadoras
I abandoned them Isaac. I hope they fit you ok when you take the insole out.

No, but they do fit my wife (who does not have a road bike, though.) One way or another, we'll make sure they find a good home.
Thanks
