Saturday's B16 Ride to Rockland State Park--Kudos

Submitted by CCaron on Sat, 07/02/2011 - 5:13pm

Thanks to Christine and James for a beautifully planned and executed ride today.  They led a large but cohesive group up past Nyack and back.  Everyone had a great time as far as I could tell--I certainly did.  The ride ended with an exhilarating pace line down 9W.  We must have had a tail wind because we sped along without much effort.  Thanks again Christine and James!

 

For Sale: (2) Hediger 72-speed Trimuter Recumbent Trikes

(2) Hediger 72-speed Trimuter recumbent trikes @$1000/ea; 1/3 their $2995/ea list.
These USA-built versions of Greenspeed GTRs include adjustable-length leg bars, fenders, rear racks, twin water bottle cages, 8x3 cassette/cranks, Dura Ace bar end shifters, SRAM 3 speed rear hubs, and extra seat backs. Well maintained by club ride leaders, and recently serviced by Master Bike, they take too much space in our coop's bike storage area. So, we're buying new folding tadpoles as replacements. Still, we need space for the replacements... hence our 2/3-off offer. Identical his 'n hers, other than color; one orange, one yellow. Photo has fenders removed; easier to get in/out of storage area.

No more Tuesday Night Training ride in Central Park

Submitted by SBrabrand on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 4:11pm

All,

I'm sorry to have to tell our regular riders that we are no longer allowed to run the Tuesday night training ride in Central Park.  The Board has advised us that "It's okay to ride laps on your own but the NYCC can't have it be a club sanctioned organized ride for safety reasons "

Given I've been running these rides throughout all of last summer and so far this summer without incident, I disagree that there is any safety concern but we will abide by the rules and cancel the rides going forward.

Thanks to everyone who graced us with their presence on these rides either this year or througout last season.

Piermont

Submitted by MBruckner on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 2:28pm

Hi All,

Before the drinking and the BBQ'ing commence in earnestness tomorrow, I'm going to take a quick trip up to Piermont. Nothing fancy. Heading from Brooklyn, up the WSH to the GWB, Riverroad to 9W, break at Bunberry's and then 9W back. Hoping to make the roundtrip in a bit over 4 hours from Park Slope and need to be back by 2. I'm flexible on departure time, but thinking 8 or 9 from Brooklyn.

If you have any interest in joining, glad to meet up anywhere on the west side.

Cold Spring via Little Tor, Perkins and Storm King - the ride is ON

Submitted by GKeresteci on Thu, 06/30/2011 - 10:19pm

We have a full ride ... an awesome group ... the weather forecast is looking great ... and our ride is ON.

We will be departing at 7 am from 72nd Street / Riverside Drive.  We have a challenging but beautiful route planned that will take us through the many hills of Harriman State Park before we head up further north towards Storm King.  We will take Metro North back to the city from either Beacon or Cold Spring depending on how we are doing timing-wise but not before enjoying an ice-cold beverage!
