membership question
In scouting around this new site, I went to the new members page and was surprised to see annual membership described as one year from the date of joining. I thought that was a bylaw change that is being voted on now through the end of the election cycle tonight. Am I wrong that the current bylaws call for membership to be by the calendar year and the change is currently up for a vote? Were the votes for bylaw changes due earlier and counted already, and if so, did I miss an announcement that they were voted in?
How to unsubscribe from a ride?
Once you have signed up for a ride, but later learn you won't be able to make it, how can you unsubrscirbe from the ride?
Thanks,

Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand cycling
I hope to visit Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand in January and February and am interested in cycling tours, camps, and/or towns that may provide a good cycling base. I am primarily interested in challenging road cycling but may also consider trips that include other activities. I am not looking for luxury accommodations and I am not interested in high-end tour operators such as Backroads. I would welcome any suggestions or guidance. Thank you.
Prospect Park Loops, Anyone?
I just became a member today and I'm excited to meet local fellow bike enthusiasts. I'm wondering if anyone is doing rides in Prospect Park during the mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays? I work from home, so I try to get in some loops on my bike whenever the Park is quietiet. If anyone is interested in joining me (I go at a 14 mph pace), let me know! THANKS!
Free Shoes
Diadora mountian bike shoes with mounted SPD cleats. Men's size 9.5 US, they seemed a little small so I didn't use them much and they have sat in my closet for the most part. If you are a 9 they will probably fit you better. Pick up in East Village. Drop me a note or a line.

Training DVDs - any suggestions?
Hi All. I need to train this winter as I signed up for La Vuelta PR. I was thinking of doing some indoor training with my bike trainer when the weather gets unbearable. Can anyone suggest what DVDs have been helpful, interesting and not boring to keep using?
Thanks.
Feedback
I like the weather/extended forcast feature. Thanks!
If one of the objectives of the new site was to prevent anonymous posts on the message board we need to try again. Other Enhancements:
1) Consider adding a feature that will allow a user to choose to stay logged in for 3 days or so.
2) Consider reordering the ride listing columns to Date/Time/Level/Distance/Name/Leader/Spots Remaining.
3) In the actual ride description, consider adding the Day of week under "Ride Information" (right hand column).

A bunch of spam messages have popped up on the message board. (The one with Cyrillic / Russian letters is but one of several )
9W Magazine
A quick note to announce the arrival of Issue # 2 of 9W Magazine- a journal of cycling photography and stories. We'll be at Sid's Bikes on 19th street on Wednesday night, Nov 10th. Starting at 7PM, Bottlerocket Wine Shop will be pouring, and Garmin will be showing off their new fancy-pants computer. So come on out!
Hope you can make it. If you can't, you can get the magazine on the website: 9wmag.com.
Cheers!
Ride listings and ease of reading
I would much rather see the ride listings with day of the week as opposed to or in addition to the date. The day is the first thing I look for. If the date is the only info, I have to consult a calendar to check what day it is. This is a step backward, in my opinion.
