Besides being . . . um . . . one of a kind, our own Richard Rosenthal is well known for his "Liberty Helmet" jersey which served as the official NYCC jersey for many years.

I was at Paragon and was pleasantly surprised to see the iconic jersey (minus NYCC notations) prominently displayed for sale in the second floor cycling section.  I know the jersey design is loved by many NYCC members (and non-members) so I thought I’d inform those who may be interested in buying one.  I’m told it's also for sale at Piermont Bicycle Connection.  

How does everyone feel about riding on the street with their kids (rather than having the kids ride on the sidewalk).

Assume for discussion purposes, that the kid is 9-10 years old, rides a road bike, and is a strong (i.e., steady and predictable) rider.  Would you limit to the streets necessary to get to the West  Side path, Central Park, or maybe would you take this kid up Riverside Drive and over the GWB, into NJ?

I have too much cycling stuff.

Here are things I'm giving away.  If there's something that interests you, let me know in next day or two.  Whatever is left goes to Recycle-a-Bicycle on Thursday.

Radio Shack outlet adapters, multiple prongs (honestly, not great quality but it's free)

Specialized Mini Tool hand pump

Ultra Battery rechargeable USB Power Pack (unopened package) - for recharging your phone or computer on long rides

Rear-view mirror - installs into handlebar

Assos leg warmers, small

Assos Uma jacket, black, ladies' medium

Assos helmet liner, grey, one size

Assos jersey, black & white, ladies' medium but very fitted

I just noticed that Davis Phinney is doing a reading from his book at the Barnes and Noble in Tribeca at 6pm on Wednesday.  For those youngsters out there, Davis was one of the great American cyclists of the 1980's and I believe but could be wrong, the first American to win a road stage at the TDF.  Oh, and he is the father of the up and coming Taylor Phinney.  The book is about cycling and his battle with Parkinson's disease.

Is there a way to search the message board for past messages posted via "author", "subject", whatever?

Thanks.

Thank you both for organizing yet another fantastic NYCC weekend in the Berks. I'm already counting down the days until next year!

Just wanted to publicly acknowledge and thank the Lantern House Memorial Day Weekend trip organizers (Paul H, Patricia K, Gary M and other trip leaders that were there) who all took care of us there and essentially teamed up in making the pre-trip/trip arrangements.  I apologize if I left other notaable trip leader names out (tired and hungry on a Sunday night after a ride).  Also wanted to give a thank you shout out to all the NYCC riders staying there who made it all a fun weekend. Hope to see you all on another ride, perhaps a reunion ride. 

I always had fond memories of my C-SIG experiences, so I really do like hanging with this crew (in addition to the other SIG crews).  

Having had a wonderful weekend with the club in the Berkshires, it's time to look forward to our next fabulous club trip - West Point!

Long shot, but anyone want to go for a ride in or around Middlebury CT on Saturday June 4th, in the afternoon? I'm heading up to cheer, but not compete, for the olympic and half-ironman triathlons that weekend, and hoping to get a ride in.

Maybe like 40-50 miles? A19-ish pace? But I'm flexible on both of those :)

After further consideration, the ride to Little Tor is cancelled. It's too rainy and the roads are too wet.

We hope to re-post the ride in a few weeks under clear skies.
