Does anyone make their own energy gel?  You know, something like a Gu  (http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Gel-Mandarin-Orange-24-Count/dp/B003V1TNJY).  If so, can you recommend a container to take it out on a bike ride?  Something squeezable (again, like a Gu) seems like a good way to go, but am glad to hear any suggestions.

I'm interested in bringing along more foods with me that I've put together myself.

Thanks,

Matt

Signature Cycles welcomes NYCC members to two special events in May.....

May 5th:

"Inside the Pro Peloton"

Can anyone explain the general difference between C and B rides in a little more detail than 'leisurely' and 'moderate'? I did look around the nycc site for more information, but perhpas I'm not lookign where I should be. It seems like the descriptions would refer more to speed, which should be indicated by the number listed with the letter, right? So is a B16 hillier or more technical than a C16? Thanks in advance for any clarification!

FYI:

Fairway sells Clif Bars (almost every variety) for $0.99 each. Clif Shot Gel is also $0.99 per packet, while Shot Bloks cost $1.69. These are regular prices, not promotional.

It's not really a savings vs ordering online from the right places, but these prices are a huge discount from other local outlets. Some bodegas carry Clif Bars for $2.25; Toga is selling Shot Bloks for close to $3. 

On the UWS original store, they're upstairs in the organic/healthy foods store (entrance/staircase upstairs is near the regular store checkout). In Red Hook, the Clif stuff is on a large rack lining a passageway (to the healthy foods section) directly across from the beef/pork butcher counter.

It's springtime, and wardrobe weeding has commenced. I have posted a few things on Freecycle, including women's sports gear in size Medium.

I need to purchase a road nike saddle and seatpost for the missus before next Sunday.  Where would folks advise us to shop in Manhattan. I don't think I'll have time to leave the city. Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm looking to selling my Kestrel Talon before I head out to Seattle in the coming weeks.  This bike has raced CRCA races, done the A-SIG Classic (twice), and done the Berkshires a couple times... a true NYCC bike... fitting that it should stay in NY and in the hands of a NYCC rider.

I have the posting on craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/2356506518.html

I will accept any serious offer.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the NYCC weekend in the Berkshires.  As a result, we had to cancel our reservations at Parry House in Great Barrington.  This is a small B&B within walking distance of downtown Great Barrington.  There are two rooms available.  

Ok title says it.. where on this site can I find the club rules and where are the recognized club hand signals posted..?? Ellen,.. anyone ??

Hi,

If anyone is looking for a female roommate for the Berkshires (I don't have a room reserved), please email me at [email protected].  

Thank you,

Geraldine
