SUNDAY 7/3, B17+/65-80, SPF #1 “Long Beach Pizza & Ice Cream”

START: 9:00 AM in midtown Manhattan

FINISH: 4:00 PM at a subway in Brooklyn, with an option to ride back to Manhattan

LEADERS: Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT: A fun out and back along roads less traveled to a neighborhood pizza shop and Ralph's Italian Ices.  

BRING: Liquids. Front/rear flashers, spare tubes. Money.

RSVP: Message me and w/cell and emergency contact if you’re interested. We’d like to keep to a tight group so we’re limiting this to twelve riders.  soupstone-at-mindspring-dot-com

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!

It looks like the NY City police are more concerned with us going thru red lites on Riverside Drive;

than they are with cars blowing thru red lights in midtown; or hitting pedestrians or cyclists!

On Thursday AM a small group of cyclist were stopped and WARNED(but not ticketed) on Riverside near Columbia.  The officer expressed "this is a warning BUT we are going to start"...

grrrr

Daniel and I are heading to Oregon and would love to rent/borrow 2 bike boxes.  We are traveling for a week and would love our bikes to arrive in one piece!

Please contact me at [email protected] if you are able to help us out!!

Thank you!!

Looking to "perhaps"  swap out my seat post for something a bit lighter on my 1980 Bianchi.

I understand that the Post diamter must fit the seat tube, but with so many to choose from how can I make an educated decision besides cost? There seems to be so many angle or off set options etc

Hi NYCC!

Last week we sent out a press release giving details about our East Coast Outreach Tour. The National Interscholastic Cycling Association will be hosting a meeting in New York City on July 8th, and at the Windham UCI Race on July 9th and 10th to help promote our high school mountain biking programs.

How many carry a spare and any advice on emergency derailleur hangers? Should they be periodically inspected/replaced?

We are going for a weekend to Woodstock NY.  Does anyone have a favorite route between 50 and 60 Miles they could refer.  I have a Garmin so if I could get the file that would be great.  

Also any restaurant, hikes or things to do recommendations would be appreciated as well.  Thank you dave
