Après SIG A-19

Submitted by GeorgeArcarola on Fri, 07/22/2011 - 8:23am
Tomorrow's ride has shady roads, bailouts at mile 36, mile 47 and mile 55. Wear light colors, save the black jersey for a cooler day. Slather on the sunscreen in the morning, and bring the tube with you so you can reapply as needed. Start hydrating now. Increase your fluid intake all day today. Reduce or eliminate caffeine, and alcohol. In the morning, drink extra before the ride. We'll be stoping more often to pick up cold fluids during the ride. We will stop to rest as needed, or as requested. If you ride tomorrow, ride smart, and ride with friends. Cheers, George

Friday afternoon pedal to Piermont?

Submitted by emilyjt on Thu, 07/21/2011 - 2:24pm

Anyone interested in an afternoon ride to Piermont tomorrow (Friday).  Meet at CPark Boathouse or at GW bridge? I have a "summer friday" so can go anytime after 2pm.  I'm looking to do a relatively easy pace along 9W (16/17 mph?) as I have a triathlon on Sunday so don't want to kill the legs.  Email me at [email protected]

Vintageic Fugi Sagres for sale

Submitted by RMrozek on Thu, 07/21/2011 - 1:15pm

Vintage Fugi Sagres, cir. 1983. $300. This is the classic Fugi Sagres, mixte frame bike -- world-wide, one of the most successful and popular production-line bicycles. MADE IN JAPAN (before Fugi contracted out production to Korea, Taiwan and China) during the golden age of Japanese manufacturing that brought us the Sony Walkman and Honda Civic. This bike is in remarkably very good, collectable, condition. The frame is made of Fugi VALite (chrome-vandium) 414 butted tubing -- exceptionally strong and light-weight, even by today's standards. Suntour AR derailers and stem shifters, double chain-ring crank set, 6-speed rear cassette. I repacked the wheel bearings and installed new Kenda tires and tubes. Took it out for a test ride and ended up cruising around Brooklyn for 2 hours.
