Road Conditions In Prospect Park

Submitted by MTownsend on Sat, 01/01/2011 - 8:44am

Does anyone know what the road conditions are in Prospect Park?

With a high of 45 degrees today it would be a shame not to get out for a ride if it's clear and dry in PP.

Cheers.

Is there a mileage log for 2011 available on the site for download? Couldn't find it. Thanks.

Announcing the (I think) 21st annual Wheelbuilding Class

Submitted by RRosenthal on Sat, 01/01/2011 - 2:01am

What: Come with a rim, hub, and spokes; go home with a perfectly built wheel that you, yourself, will have built.
When: A Sat. or Sun. in late Jan. to mid-Feb., exact date to be determined by class. 10AM-3PM
Where: Church basement, 62nd St. between Third and Second Ave.
Who: While this is not an official NYCC function, this is only for NYCC members.
Class size: Small so everyone gets a chance on the truing stand. (If you can bring one, so much the better.)
Cost: 0...but a modest, small, token contribution to the church, while not necessary, would be appreciated.
Respond: Offline to [email protected]

West Side Greenway

Submitted by DWiener on Fri, 12/31/2010 - 6:45pm

Decided to try this today for my last ride of the year. Figured I'd make it at least up to the GWB, but it was only cleared as far as the new esplanade and was very dicey on my road bike after that. Got as far as the tennis courts before the start of the Cherry Walk section.

Condition of GWB and 9W

Submitted by ICho on Fri, 12/31/2010 - 12:51am

Does anybody know if they are rideable? Can we get updates from people who are "in the know" about the conditions?

I'm hoping that the warmer weather this weekend melts a lot of the snow away....

Thanks!

FS: SPD road pedals - new - $50

Submitted by sgnoka on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 9:36am

Shimano PDA525 pedals. Uses SPD cleats such as on mountain bike pedals, but are sleek and single-sided for the road. This is a great pedal if you use MTB shoes on the road.

New old stock; pictures and more details at:

If interested, contact me at 2000 [at] jt10000.com to take a look. I'm on West 115th St in Manhattan.

Venti- 12/31 Cancelled

Submitted by GeorgeArcarola on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 8:57am

The first (and last) seven miles of this ride need a week of melting. The roads along the north shore of Nassau are ~ two thirds their normal width due to snow on the sides. The ride is CANCELLED. Look for something similar in January.

Thanks,
George Arcarola
