Yoga at West Point

Submitted by galfromdownunder on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 2:00pm

This is my first West Point and I'm looking forward to it ...  no longer all over the map with Bike Friday so can actually sign up for things!

I told Lucia I'm happy to offer a free Yoga for Cyclists class AM and/or PM each day of the trip. On PACTOUR I taught twice a day,  7am - 30 mins pre-ride and 4pm - 45 mins post ride. Some of you may recall Karin Fantus and I taught a SIG-ready yoga/pilates combo class as an NYCC event this year, http://www.yogapilatesnyc.com.

Central Park Cycling Issues - Letter Sent to CRCA

Submitted by MLevin on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 1:08pm

All,

I am pasting a letter that was received by CRCA and everyone should be made aware of.  In order for us to keep shared use of CP, people cannot be going full speed on the weekend or evenings.

Please forward on to any cycling contacts.

My club jersey just arrived, and it looks great. I placed my order on April 7 and used FedEx express saver shippi

Great work by the designer, and Primal Wear.

 

non-drive side crank fell off - Advice

Submitted by MBruckner on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 10:46am

Hi All,

I was riding laps in Prospect Park a few days ago when I began to notice a wobble under my left foot.  I need to replace my clips and thought that they were finally dying on me.  I figured I'd just finish up my ride and then replace the clip when I got home.  However, not half a lap later, the wobble became significantly more pronounced and soon thereafter, my left (non-drive side) crank detached from my bottom bracket.

Strange Aussie comming to twon

Hi

My name is Mitchell Bland, I live in Orange in NSW, Australia.  My wife and I are visiting family in Manhattan in early July (2 July to 16 July).  My wife is planning on lots of girl time with her sister and my brother in-law works, so I am planning to get in plenty of time on the bike.  Can anyone suggest where I could hire a semi-decent road bike for two weeks.  I will be bringing my shoes/pedals/helmet/lights, so really just need the bike.  I am 6 foot tall and ride a 58cm (23 inch) Cervello at home.  We will be staying in West 13th Street.

I hope to see some of you out on the roads!

Regards

Mitch

Los Angeles riding/bike renting

Submitted by Awilson on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 8:32pm

I am there for the next several weeks for work.  Thought I was going to be able to rent a bike somewhat equivalent to mine from a shop that was reco'd to me...isn't going to pan out.  I ride a Trek Madone 5.5 WSD...so if you know of a shop that rents out similar rides for extended times...

As well, would love anyone's thoughts on riding groups there.  Will be staying in Pacific Palisades, so looking for rides it that vicinity...Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills...

Many Thanks,

alexa

Need Cue Sheet

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Sun, 06/19/2011 - 8:12pm
Last year we took a different route to Kingsland Park using the Trailway bike path. I'm riding up to Briarcliff Manor next weekend and would love it if someone has that cue sheet. I checked the ride library and the one I saw went on Route 9 for 7 miles, which is very heavily trafficked and at times no shoulder. Thanks!
