Thank you all for your suggestions! I was able to get an appointment with Claudette Lajam. I only wish I had thought to post a message sooner. It would have saved me a lot of time and stress.

Need doctor recommendation for fractured collarbone
Submitted by catieryan on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 10:52am
I broke my collarbone in a bike accident last Thursday and since leaving the ER I have been unable to find an orthopaedics doctor who isn't on vacation. The idea of waiting 2 weeks for a doctor for this kind of injury seems absurd. Given that this is a common cycling injury, I thought I'd reach out to fellow NYCC members to see if anyone could make a recommendation. I'm really hoping to see a doctor this week, so any suggestions would be very appreciated. My email below. Thank you. Catie [email protected]
New Bike Dilemma..
Submitted by Sir Roger on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 10:07am
OK folks heres the thing. Currently I am riding a 1950 Raleigh Clubman with 4 in the hub. Don't laugh.. I have already clocked over 2000 miles this year.. While i love the vintage ride I am also aware that this kind of cycling may not be that friendly to my knees in the long run.. And the more I ride the stronger my legs have become and uphill the more noticeable the BB flexing.
Avid Cyclist moving to NYC
Submitted by vince-ct on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 7:23am
Hi Folks-
I'm hoping to get some feedback from those in the know... I'm a serious recreational cyclist, I ride 4-5 times per week in the "good" weather months, and log maybe 4-5k miles per year. Obviously, cycling is a big part of my life.
But I also love, love, love NYC and I am serioulsy considering moving there. My question is this: as a serious cyclist, will I be happy riding in/from the city? Are there enough 40-60 mile routes to keep one going? Are the roads manageable, for those not quite ready to take on a couple of tons of metal? You get the idea...
I'd love to hear feedback from folks who are in a similar position, and how you like living and riding in NYC...
Thanks in advance!
Help vetting a couple of mid-Hudson routes
Submitted by MHiller on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 10:17pm
I'm planning a two-day, one-night bike tour for next week in the mid- to slightly-upper Hudson valley. (Garrison->Hudson on day 1, Hudson->Beacon on day 2, deliberately switching back and forth to see both sides of the river and to hit the bike paths on all applicable Hudson crossings.) Anyone have any pointers on how to tweak or alter these proposed routes?

Tuesday Night Laps In CP
Submitted by SYoung on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 11:33pm
Isn't there usually a ride (laps/pacelining) in CP on Tuesday nights? If not going out this week,, anyone interested in meeting up for an unofficial ride - 7:00PM Boathouse Tuesday night - for laps and for some practice (still trying to get this skill up to speed) paceling at B17/18 pace-

Maynard-Switzer Ride Cue Sheet
Submitted by JIgnall on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 5:18pm
Hi,
I'm looking for a copy of a cue sheet for the Maynard-Switzer ride that is typically done on the A-19 SIG.
I can't locate it in the ride library.
Would appreciate if someone can send me a copy or direct me to where it is in the ride library?
Jeff
