Late ride listing.  The route won't be final until we see the condition of River Road later in the week.  We'll ride four of the following six climbs:  River Road, Churchill, Speer, Walnut, Mountain Road, and The Presidents.  The "B15" means that this ride is casual speed-wise. 

From Gale Brewer's office comes this survey about the protected Columbus Avenue Bike Lane between West 77 Street and West 96 Street.

The survey is an effort to determine how the street design changes affect West Siders and is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BrewerBikeLaneSurvey

Please help spread the word about the survey.

Hi,

I am selling a lightly used Specialized Prevail helmet (size L) and Giro Prolight SLX shoes (size 42). 

The S-Works Prevail helmet (retail $230, selling for $120) is Specialized highest-end helmet. I have for a comparo review I was doing between this and the Giro Aeon. Reviews on the web are very positive and I liked it as well. Was used for about 100 miles.

The Prolight SLX shoes are lightweight race shoes (retail $350, selling for $200 obo). Used for about 150 miles. Slight scuff under the left toe but otherwise looks new.

Photos of both can be found here:

Hi Folks

I emailed the good Wheelpeople at ENY to ask about the party timing, as my group is deciding between 65 and 100 for that day and we want to sort out a reasonable average with stops and not be too late to piggyfy later..

here is the reply hope it helps other indulgers..

Hey our weekly Thursday morning river road ride is still on this Thursday.  I spaced and forgot to repost in time for this week's newsletter.

Given the reports about conditions on RR, we will probably detour to 9W or some other adventure this week.

Mike I can't find your email (so much for precision technology) so if you send a note to [email protected] I can send you the actual files.
