A few people have asked about the custom jerseys made by one of the C-SIG groups this year. They were made by V-gear, which is just up the road on 9W. The price per jersey was $44 including tax and shipping. The minimum order for jerseys is 10. Best of all is the 2-3 week turnaround. A few of us just tried them out on a century, have no complaints and will be putting in another order. Here's a description about the company and a link to their website.

An awesome After Sig Series Saturday. Perfect route, diverse group, beautiful weather, and of course that amazing decent into the Depot. All managed well by the very, very capable team of Damon Strub and Felicia Ennis who we all know will lead many great rides for a long time to come. A get well soon to Vitaly's wheel. Special thanks to SIG Leaders Bob, Betsy and George--it's always nice to have experience in the line. And thanks to the SIG itself for producing great wheels like Damon and Felicia. Here's a pic on the hardpack. Next Saturday, A-Classic Boss Tombaugh and her team haul A.S.S. up  Storm King.

Club policy prohibits aero bars on club rides just as it requires helmets and prohibits earphones. Please update the ride listing boilerplate to add a clause reminding riders that aero bars are prohibited. I continue to get inquiries from those who have clip-on aero bars who are loathe to remove them .

Also would appreciate an official club explanation on the website to which I could point inquirers which explains why we prohibit them.

Due to Dad's Day and having to be back early.  We'll be back at it next Sunday!

There were five of us on my ride today. (The word must be out about it. Or, more likely, me.)

No two from the same country. Five people. Five countries: The Netherlands, Poland, Rumania, Colombia, and Detroit.

Moreover, a Ph.D. microbiologist at Mt. Sinai (not to be confused with the NYCC member who is a Ph.D. microbiologist at Rockefeller University) and a combined M.D. and Ph.D. student at Columbia working in neuroscience.

I am dazzled by the international component of our membership and the accomplishment of a great many members.

The Great Swamp Ride consists of a twisted figure 8 loop passing through and around the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. A remnant of a glacial lake in southern Morris and northern Somerset counties, the Great Swamp forms the source of the Passaic River. The Great Swamp is one of the truly unspoiled natural jewels of the region. Just 25 miles west of New York City you’ll be serenaded by frogs and accompanied by turtles as you enjoy the many resident bird species, including the majestic blue heron. Eagles are frequently seen.  Meeting at Penn Station at 8:45am for 9:11am train to Summit (Dover Line).  If interested, sign up on ride listing or text me at 347-987-1951.
