On the second ride(!!!) on my brand new tires, the front has a cut that goes all the way through the vectran belt. Hopefully Conrad's will warranty it. We shall see...
If they will not warranty the 4000s, I am going to buy a GP4season.

Does anyone have any suggestion for its placement? Front or back for the toughest tire? I'm unable to spend on a matching set so soon (4 days or so!) after buying a new pair 4000s's, and want to make sure to maximize tire life.

Yesterday afternoon I took a nasty dive on the Hudson Greenway.  This was probably between 90th and 125th streets and around 4:00, but I had a concussion and don't remember the accident.  I also don't remember the person who helped me, though I do know her first name, Annie, because she called my parents (using my phone).  Not only did Annie get me an ambulance, she rode with me to the hospital and even rescued my bike!  But she was gone before I regained consciousness.  I would like to get in touch with her to express my gratitude, so if anyone heard this story somewhere or happens to know Annie, please let me know.  Obviously, I really owe her.

Best,

Zack

I am canceling the Tuesday (tomorrow, April 19th) morning A19 Training ride.  I will be traveling and won't be available.  We will resume on Thursday morning.

if you lost a seemingly new fender on saturday somewhere along knickerbocker, and can describe it, i have it safe and sound. hit me up at: [email protected]

Both yesterday and today I had run ins with what looked like delivery guys.

last night riding up 6th on the left hand side of the road I passed a fellow on his right. When I slowed a bit on the uphill he came up on my right then cut close across me to make a LH turn.

This morning riding down 5th on the RHS I passed a guy on his left. He then came up on my left and cut into the parked cars - seemingly intentionally overlapping my front wheel. If not for the SIG skills I have been honing I might have crashed ;-)

Anyone experience anything similar?

The A-19 SIG braved the elements on Saturday - but unfortunately most of us were overwhelmed by the rain/wind on our return trip and had to take Metro North back.

My group of about 9 -made it to Tarrytown (around 4:00)  just as the train was pulling in station --don't believe they were warned ahead of time a bunch of crazy cyclists might be on trains - but they were most accomodating. One conductor was very friendly- nicely asked us to move to last car- which was empty - and joked around with us. Even with Yankee game crowd coming on at Stadium stop - everything ran very smoothly--

Believe club has a liasion with Metro North? Worth it to send word of appreciation?
