thanks for the flowers

Submitted by DHudes on Mon, 08/01/2011 - 1:12pm

Yesterday I crashed somewhat badly (I have seen worse) on the 3rd turn on the downhill on Tweed from Clausland.  Leader Rob Saken and Ralph helped me stabilize my position to avoid falling further into the ravine; Rob and one of the other riders called 911 for me and eventually I ended up in Nyack Hospital.  A few minutes ago I quite unexpectedly received a very nice floral arrangemnt wishing me a speedy recovery from the NYCC board of directors. 

Thanks for the thoughts! I will miss riding with the club for a few weeks (TBD, I haven't seen my doctors yet just ER) but hope sometime in September to be back on the road ...slower on downhill sharp turns. More braking....

Submitted by GYang on Mon, 08/01/2011 - 11:33am

I am looking for the most bike-friendly routes to the north shore of LI via the 59th street bridge.

I have looked at some of the Q sheets from the ride library but wondering which are the favorites for:

low traffic and simplicity

Thanks.

2010 Felt DA TT Bike - Brand New Never Ridden Frame

Submitted by NMermet on Sun, 07/31/2011 - 6:10pm

Another teammate is selling another tri bike.  He's *really, really* fast, so it was obviously a very fast bike.  ;-)  (I think the frame is new because the company replaced it for him).

His direct email is:  [email protected]

I'd like to get a GPS with 2 key features:

1. type in a destination and it gives you turn-by-turn directions

2. I can import cue sheet in. And when I missed a turn, it will auto-correct and find an alternative to get back on track

 

Thanks in advance

For three upcoming Saturdays, Summer Streets will close Park Avenue to cars from Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park and open it up to people.

NYCC will be there, down at the Bicycle Hub on Lafayette Street between Spring and Prince, providing free bike repair, promoting Escape New York, touting the benefits of membership.

There is no better way to enjoy this street party than to help run our own genius bar!

Meet scores of New Yorkers, answer their questions about the club, about training, routes, and fitness.

Help run NYCC at Summer Streets!
