A friend got hurt in a bicycle crash a while back; broke her right wrist and left collar bone.  Can you imagine?  The lady was totally incapacitated – couldn’t do anything; lift, write, work, ride, nothing – not a single thing.  I felt so badly for her.  I went over her place to visit.  I was hoping to cheer her up a bit; tell a stupid joke or two, lie about how fast I am on a bike, wink, anything to get a smile.  While there, I noticed on the refrigerator door a list of names.  I knew those people on that list – those names - they are all NYCC members.  Next to each Club members’ name was a day; “Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, etc.  And next to each day was a task.  “Monday – laundry”, “Tuesday – shopping”, “Wednesday – trash”, “Thursday – clean”, etc.

Seems her friends, all members of the NYCC, had set up a schedule.  Each day, until she was all healed and could do things again, a friend from the New York Cycle Club would come by and take care of one of life’s chores for this injured member.  

See?  That’s what I’m talking about!  This is what makes the New York Cycle Club so great!  Nyack might be second on the list – probably tied with the Berkshires for second greatest thing about the club.  As a matter of fact, it’s a three-way tie; Nyack, the Berks and ENY – all tied for second place.  Actually, everything else about this Club is tied for second; the SIG’s, ENY, the Berks, everything – tied for second.  It’s the community of the New York Cycle Club that is way out front in first place.  

That’s what I’m talking about.
