"Looks like a nice evening for an ""urban assault ride"". Meet at 7pm Bryant Park (mid-6th Ave steps) with lights, fat tire bike for fast-paced (A-level) 2 - 3 hour ride ""somewhere"". Respond if interested. (If no one responds, I won't be there)."
UAR -Wed 9/27
"Sorry Carl but I can't make it this evening. I hope to do a ride next Wednesday, namely a Tour of Randall's/Ward's Island and the Triborough Bridge.
I think you mischaracterize the ride as ""Urban Assault Ride"". That is not the name or even an accurate description. It is the Urban Adventure Ride. No one gets assaulted, pedestrians are respected, etc. It is fun, it is an adventure, not an onslaught."
we'll try again next week.
If you can figure if I really need knobby tires then I can make a decision. My rode bike is the ride of choice, but I can take my Hybrid
I would have done it, just don't check the ride board every day... email next time if you aren't going to get it on the ride board.
lets set up an email group of interested UAR'ers (as we did recently w/ mtn bikers)
