Working on a project and I am looking
for VERY several pairsof inexpensive NEW Shimano SH51 SPD cleats.
These are the single release Black cleats.

If you have gotten pairs with your shoes and do not use them, you would be a big help.

Thanks

Happy Holidays

This past Saturday on the Social Climber's season finale, "Xmas in Richmond Town", we had three GPS units come up with three climbing totals 3600', 3300' and 2000'.

Then tonight, I was watching PBS' Nova "Hunting the Hidden Dimension" and realized that makers of GPS-altimeter's face the same challenge trying to come up with an algorithm to determine total climbing ... as cartographers do when trying to measure the total distance of a curving shoreline.

The section comes at 15 minutes.

The operative question is; How fine to measure? Because, inherently, the device that measures most "accurately" (most closely follow the terrain's contours) will always show the greatest amount of climbing.

Hi guys!
If you are thinking of selling your bike, please contact me at [email protected]. I'm looking to buy 2 bikes... one for a 5'7'' person and the other one for a 6'1''.

Thank you!

Although not officially open, the eastern end of the bike path has no obstructions to enter it. I believe I remember seeing a bike path sign in place. If so, I suppose that makes it quasi-official. The western (southern) end of this new segment has a fence, which does not appear intended to stop usage as there is room on either side to go around it.

The bike path follows Rt 6, crossing over it at one point on the existing railroad bridge.

Hello All:

Can anyone advise on a facility in Manhattan where one can train indoors (by hookuping a personal roadbike to a cycle trainer such as CompuTrainer, CycleOps, Etc)? Just to be clear, not an indoor spinning class (like SoulCycle or that found in the larger gyms). CADENCE in Tribeca used to offer such classes (before they closed).

Thanks for your help.

I won a $15 gift certificate to RoadID for coming in 2nd in a (running) race, if you can believe that... Just don't ask me the distance or my time. I'm not going to use it, mostly because RoadID items begin at $20, plus shipping. I'll happily send my gift certificate code to whomever would like it. First one to respond gets it - - sienna_parete at yahoo dot com

I'm familiar with the winter training camps in Mallorca. Does anyone have any experience with similar camps in the states in relatively warm weather locations? I would be looking for B16-18 rides.

I become a slug in the winter and am trying to plan a week of cycling in March. Also, I remember threads on the board related to this last year, but am not sure whether any of the previous posts are still available with the launch of the new NYCC website.

I appreciate anyone's help on this.

Sorry to anyone who tried to log on before about 9:15 a.m. today, Saturday. The log on process was down. We will make some policy changes so that development won't be as likely to effect the user experience.

So we're riding to the tenafly train station for really swell coffee and pastry or eggs if you need them.

Go to "The Ethicist" for 12/17. That's NYCCer Randy Cohen. Absolutely MUST lisentening.
