Hi:

I'll be leading a A-SIG training ride this Thursday, March 24, leaving at 6:15 from Riverside and 120th St.

We'll ride up river road and then paceline back on 9W.

This is the ride that Sharon Shachar usually leads; she's out of town this week so I'm posting.

Tuesday / Thursday early morning Central Park Rides - 5:45am Tavern on the Green - we'll wait for you until 5:50am - then we roll. Tuesday focus on hill repeats. Thursday interval training. Who is in???

See below. Agenda includes "Continued discussion of enforcement of traffic signal regulations with regard to bicyclers in Central Park" and "Update on proposed east-west bike routes in Central Park." 

I assume a big turnout is key, and speaking particularly from people who live in the area of CB 7 (Upper West Side - 59th to 110th, CPW to Hudson River) especially useful.

Anyone interested in a "Classic" 1989 Nishiki Altron?  56cm aluminum frame, full Suntour Sprint 9000 components, 12 speed accu-shift, cinelli stem and criterium bars.  Used for half a season in 1990, then brought out last year, tuned up and ridden for about 500 miles.  It's in great condition and I would keep it, but I upgraded and have no room in my apartment .  If interested I can send pics or show the bike.  Drop me a line.

I've been invited out on this ride a couple times--what are the differences between this and Gimbels, other than it has two vs. three routes with different starting places? 

I'm looking to buy a bike shipping container. Will be working out of town for 4 months and want to take my bike. Probably too long a period to borrow.

If so, would love to hear about your experience overall, and your recommendation on where to stay the night before. thx.

June 19th I will have a ride to the Mattituck Strawberry Festival. A note about return: while we will use LIRR, we are NOT using Mattituck station, we will bike to another station that I have arranged with LIRR.

Rider cap: there is no limit. The train limit is usually 10 bikes and riders per train so if we have more people they will take the next train.

It's two months out but I want to call the attention of those A riders (or who will be) and stronger B riders to this A17 150 mile ride I have scheduled for May 15th.
Yes, that is the same day as the 5BBC Montauk Century. That is quite deliberately to provide an alternative. If you aren't someone who is a strong rider who can and will cooperate in a group, or you've never done the Montauk 145 then go do that. If you have been there done that and want something different, wiling to take a ride with a smaller group than hundreds at once and to ride as a group in a paceline then register for this ride led by Daniel Labovitz and myself. Last year three of us -- Daniel, Steve Kahn and myself -- did a 130 mile ride to Cherry Hill. This year we're going all the way to Philadelphia.

Hey SIG A19 and A Classic Class of '11,

Now that you've had three weeks of the SIG under your belt, it's time
to throw some off-the-bike FUN into the mix. Once the weather gets warmer,
we'll undoubtedly be continuing the tradition of impromptu post-SIG-ride
festivities. But for now, we're kicking things off with our first
A19/Classic mixer of the season next Tuesday, March 22. SIG participants,
leaders, alumni and friends are all welcome.

The deets for our first A-SIG SOCIAL are provided below.
(and you MAY be able to see flyer in addition at link below).

See you there!

Lucia, Alan & Basil (your friendly "A 19 and Classic Social Coordinators")
