As a new member of the NYCC it was great meeting everyone tonight in Manhattan - congrats to all the new grads of the SIG programs.

Just wanted to let you know that I am promoting the first Gran Fondo NJ on August 28th, and that there is a special 20% discount available to all NYCC members and friends until July 1st. 

There are 3 great rides: a 103 mile Gran Fondo, a 63 mile Medio Fondo, and a 43 mile Piccolo Fondo taking you through some great roads in Western New Jersey.

You can register for either of the three rides by clicking on the following link
Gran Fondo NJ which will take you to the Active.com registration page.

I'm watching the weather for this evenings 7:30pm ride in Central Park.  Currently 50% chance of rain for our start time.  If actually raining, high chance of rain or wet roads at start then I'll cancel.  Please check back between 5pm and 6pm for a final call on whether we roll.

Manhattan bike riders face a host of obstacles using the borough's bike lanes, from double-parked livery cabs and delivery trucks, to oblivious pedestrians, to NYPD vehicles using them as parking spaces, a recent survey by DNAinfo found.

DNAinfo reporter Ben Fractenberg rode many of the city's bike lanes starting downtown and traveling north all the way to Washington Heights, and tracing his way from the east to the west side. One of the worst stretches, he found, was directly behind an NYPD precinct in Harlem.

Twenty seven out of 44 marked and unmarked NYPD vehicles parked behind the 28 Precinct on St. Nicholas Ave. between 122nd and 123rd Streets on a recent Monday jutted into a stretch of bike lane on both sides of the two-way street.

Please join us for this fun and different ride on Saturday-  sign up on-line please.  You can email me with any questions at [email protected]

For sale: white Selle Italia SLR saddle. Carbon shell, titanium rails, 135grams. Used for ~3 years on my backup bike so it has maybe 4,000 miles on it. Some minor scuff marks on the edges, otherwise in Very Good condition.

CRCA is offering to all women cyclists for the next two Wedneday mornings, a skills clinic oriented to the skills necessary for racing. This includes bumping, bunny hopping, close riding, wheel touching and recovery, cornering techniques and other assertive riding skills. This clinic is funded by a grant that allows CRCA to offer this course to non-members. The information regarding attendance is at: http://www.crca.net/coaching/coaching-schedule/. Of course, a CRCA jersey is not required.

and the specifics of the clinics are at: http://www.crca.net/coaching/coaching-schedule/#jun

We hope you will take advantage of this offer, as racing skills are also applicable to group riding.
