If you are having trouble seeing last night's release of the new site, you need to remove old suffixes from your bookmarks and re-bookmark just plain http://www.nycc.org. There shouldn't be anything like /index.html as a suffix to the address in your bookmarks. Get rid of the suffixes. I know that if you can't see the site, you can't read this post. But, you may stumble upon the solution yourself but not know why ... so this post may be of some use.

As of late last night, our website has been switched over to a much faster server with more processing capacity and more RAM. Now, pages load faster, and we should no longer have problems with time-outs, and the menus flutter less or hopefully not at all. The database that contains your information such as rides and posts was moved late last night so they should be up-to-date. However, the files were moved on Tuesday so that we could test on Wednesday. That means that if any file was uploaded on Wednesday, such as a photo for someone's profile, it will need to be uploaded again. It is possible that there weren't any. We are aware of other enhancements needed. This move puts us one big step toward being able to get started on more improvements over the coming weeks and months.

Just a headsup for gourmet opportunists who might even RIDE to a great cafe at Mt Kisco (50 trainride north of NYC from Grand Central) ...

I recently wrote a story for touring outfit Cicilsimo Classico (I believe founder Lauren Hefferon spoke at a NYCC meeting a while back) and they ran a little contest to win one of 5x $50 vouchers to Viavante - a nouveau Italian cafe run by cyclist and former Ciao Bella Gelato partner Carla Gambescia.

Unfortunately, the contest was buried so far down in my story I don't think anyone's seen it and snagged the 5x $50 vouchers!

9speed dura-ace rear STI lever(new-$150

A couple of new members (who have never done group rides) have contacted me about my ride this Saturday. I've referred them to the CP self test to make sure the ride was a good match for them, however, ,I can't seem to find the chart on this website. If someone knows where it is, could you please post a link? Or maybe someone with access to the old website could cut and paste to the message board.

Thanks.
Melanie

Today at 6:30pm at 134 West 24th Street, ZenBikes is having a free Winter Gear Seminar with Dan Hasselbauer from Descente USA . Free hot cider and pumpkin pie will be served.

I am not an employee of the store, just a satisfied customer who would like to see this new store prosper.

90% chance of rain tonight, so check the MB by 6am for go / no go. Rain or wet roads cancel.
