To the female rider that stopped to check in after we crashed on descent prior to Harlem Hill this morning - thanks.  Don't know if you are an NYCC member but if so I appreciated you taking responsibility and being so decent and offering to pay for ripped up bib. - Tom

Does anyone have advice/ reccomendations on which seat I should look into purchasing. Yes Im a dude, so take that into consideration. Thanks! David K.
