Nightmare on Elm St - Sunday 7/31
Lesse and I are really excited to be leading this ride on Sunday. This is the third year we've done it, and it's always been a hoot.
A few people have emailed me about the climbs... how hard are they, really? Some of them are pretty tough - but short. Think Ash - but with a real hard kick... or maybe two. We will approach these with a spirit of camaraderie - urging each other to the top. Other climbs are a little longer but more moderate. Many are full of character; some feature fantastic views. Either way, you'll be going slow enough to take it all in.
The URL in the ClimBathon ride description isn't defective; the person who wrote it is.

Looking for Group Rides in Denver Area Next Week. Suggestions?
I will be in Lakeville, CO (the Denver burbs) from Sunday 8.1 through Friday 8.5 then off to Grand Junction. Anyone know of any good A level group rides in the Denver area? I did a web search, but only found a few easy 20 mile rides!
SEE, Poll says New York Voters like Bike Lanes
See? The police really are your (sometime) friend.
(And, no, I am not a friend of entrapment.)

I can't seem to find the membership directory on the web site. Could someone tell me where it is? Thank you.
'Big hills, fast descents and local wine make Ithaca, NY a cycling nirvana '
From Bicycling magazine, July 2011:
Ithaca, New York: Big hills, fast descents and local wine make central New York a cycling nirvana.
Ups And Downs: The Two Gorges Ride, a Finger Lakes Cycling Club Sunday outing, connects several glacier-carved waterfalls to create a 28-mile route through rolling countryside. The route climbs wooded backroads, visiting Treman State Park's 12 cascades, including its 115-foot-high centerpiece, Lucifer Falls.

Can anyone point me to a route or "Q" sheet for a route, I'd prefer a north shore route if anyone has one. Thanks
