Weather for Sunday looks cool but sunny. We start at 7:30 a.m. in front of Starbucks on First and 60th. 60 flat or rolling miles to Eisenhower Park. The Westbury train station is about a mile from the venue, so if you've had enough riding at that point, it's a quick trip back to Penn Station, or if you want to continue, the ride back to Jamaice station in Queens is 15 miles.

The race is usually in Southampton (it was moved this year due to construction), so this may be the only chance that you get to see a national-level cyclocross race so close to the city.

As seen in today's NY Times, the Big Apple Tweed bike event is a short ride that goes near Prospect Park, with an old British style theme (e.g. English type cycles, tweed clothing). Begins at 11AM at Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn. Visit to a clothing bontique, a Dixieland concert and brunch included on the route. Looks tempting to go, but I have no tweed jacket. More info at www.bigappletweed.com. Note: I'm not in anyway connected to the event.

This website was down for a bit of time early this am. Was hoping that it was being changed out. Too bad.

The way that the photos for the front page work is that the website pulls one photo from each of four events that we promote to the front page. However, the events don't have to be what we would think of as events such as a meeting or dinner or SIG series, or ENY, or all-class ride, or club weekend, or skating party...although they certainly could be.

Sunday, Nov. 21
A20 meet on the Jersey side of the GWB
Leaving 9:00 sharp - so please be a few minutes early to sign in.

Ride Details:

This won't be one of our usual SI climb-a-thons. The focus for this abbreviated ride will be to get everyone in the group successfully up Oakland Terrace. For those that have previously conquered this little gem you know it's not as easy as it sounds. We'll meet at 8:15AM outside the Whitehall Ferry terminal in Lower Manhattan and catch the 8:30AM ferry to SI. If all goes well we should be able to catch the 11:30AM ferry back from St. George. That will give us plenty of time to be home for the start of the J-E-T-S game. This will be probably be our last chance to get over to SI this year before the weather turns so you don't want to miss this opportunity to earn your SI Merit Badge.

To Our Valued Geomangear Customers,

Geomangear temporarily has stopped selling Magicshine lightsets due to our concerns regarding the safety, quality, and performance of Magicshine's lithium-ion battery packs sold by Geomangear between July 2009 and November 2010. We have determined that these Magicshine battery packs do not meet Geomangear's high expectations regarding product safety, quality, and performance. We have notified both the manufacturer of Magicshine lightsets and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission that Geomangear intends to voluntarily recall all Magicshine battery packs sold by Geomangear.

Hello from Jen Rudin, your brand new VP of Programming.

Did anyone attend the Zen Bike Store event last night with a speaker from Descente? If so, I am curious to get some feedback on how the speaker and event fared.

You can reply here, or feel free to email [email protected]

Thanks

Jen Rudin

from RoadBikeRider:More than 30 years ago, Dr. Gabe Mirkin coined the term RICE for the treatment of athletic injuries. It stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. Now a study from the Cleveland Clinic shows that one of these recommendations -- applying ice to reduce swelling -- actually delays healing by preventing the body from releasing a hormone called IGF-1.
