For Sale Castelli Volo Partial Jacket New with tags (medium) $80

Submitted by SGeist on Fri, 11/26/2010 - 4:11pm

Selling a white and black Castelli jacket. Size medium. Because it's a Castelli, I need a large. If you usually wear a small (or a medium but have a short torso), this size will be perfect for you (I weigh 160, I can wear it but the back is too short in riding position).
Great for 50-30 temperatures.
Will deliver in NYC.

SUNDAY 11/28, B17+/60, Social Climbers #10 “Pelham Parkway”

Submitted by NWeissman on Fri, 11/26/2010 - 12:57am

SUNDAY 11/28, B17+/60, Social Climbers #10 “Pelham Parkway”

START: Meet 10:00 AM at the Pelham Parkway #5 train station in the Bronx

FINISH: Before dark at the Pelham Parkway #2-5 train stations

LEADERS: Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT: This is a fun one. Start with bike paths that trace the Bronx River up to Valhalla. Then north over the Westchester County Airport and south to Port Chester before a run to the Bronx and subway home. Ten miles between Valhalla and Westchester Airport sort of climb-y, otherwise flat. Few miles hard pack. Two food stops.

BACK STORY: Michael asked "Why do I always have to schlep down to the city? Can't we start at my place?"

Day After Thanksgiving Ride

Submitted by TLaskey on Thu, 11/25/2010 - 8:22pm

The forecast doesn't look too promising for tomorrow but beyond that, I've had the flu (or something similar) for the last 24+ hours and won't be riding tomorrow. If someone wants to step up and fill in for me, weather permitting, great. Otherwise, see you all next day after Thanksgiving.

A Question of Free Speech on the Message Board

Submitted by MGewirtz on Thu, 11/25/2010 - 2:20pm

Several days ago I posted a message on this board providing the web site for a law firm that is developing a practice representing cyclists. I did this in the interest of providing information to readers who have posted requests for referrals to attorneys in the past. I made it clear that my son is a partner in the firm. I assume there was some interest in this topic because the posting received a fair number of hits. A reply poster raised objections to my post indicating, among other things, that it appeared to be presented for personal gain. After giving this objection serious consideration I was going to reply as follows:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to the NYCC!!

Some things I'm thankful for:
Smooth rotating pacelines,
Short climbs and long descents,
SIGs and STSs,
Post ride beer,
And, I'm most thankful of all for the people I've met and ridden with.

A safe and healthy holiday to all!

Piermont B4 Turkey RIDE ON!

Submitted by SRodetis on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 8:13pm

Looks like "wet" will hold off . . . both during the parade and for we adventuresome, calorie-burning souls. However temps will be brisk, so dress warm and in layers.

See you ready to roll (please arrive in time to sign in) at 7:30AM from 72/Riverside Drive. Brief stop in Piermont (Bunburry's and the Country Market are both open).

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Best,
Susan

For Sale: MAVIC COSMIC EQUIPE WHEELS VERY NICE

Submitted by JViesta on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 4:00pm

Very Very nice set of Cosmics that have never been crashed.

 

I Upgraded to Ksyriums and kept these as back up wheels but haven’t used them since. Right after I took them off the bike I had them Trued and overhauled. They are 700’s (normal road bike size)

 

At the moment there is a like new 9 speed Ultegra Cassette, and a used pair of Michelin Axial Pro Tires on the rims. I’ll consider leaving the cassette, tires and tubes on for serious offers. These wheels are fantastic.

 

what the world needs: another suggested tweak of the message board

Submitted by RCohen on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 12:57pm

It would be easier to decide which postings to read if the "Topic" included a bit more information. Space to do that could be gained by tightening up on the real estate now given to "Created" -- do we really need to know the precise second a new posting went up? -- and to eliminating "Last Reply" -- is that urgent info? Those interested can find out by reading the, well, last reply.

This is not to disdain the new design -- a huge job -- but a small suggestion to make it more user-friendly, at least for this user.
