Joan & I were fortunate to spend several days with Greg and his lovely wife, Kathy at a special small cycling event in May, 1998.

There was a photo of Greg & Joan sharing a ride on our tandem wearing wearing matching NYCC jackets on the cover of the NYCC print bulletin of May 1999 (copy available on our web site).  I  enjoyed sitting with the LeMond couple at several dinners.

See nice Wall St Journal piece by Jason Gay with color photos in Dec. 11 issue p. A12

If you want to have a view within the New York area of what people saw before Europeans arrived, on through colonial America, go down to the Battery.

Look at Staten Island and the water in front of it. With the exception of a handful of constructs by the hand of man, the silhouette of Staten Island is unchanged. It is pretty much as it has been since being revegetated after the last glacial retreat. 

Longshot:

A friend is good at finding used bikes for sale online, and I am looking for a decent deal on an upgrade to my somewhat old CAAD10 (I'd like disc brakes, 11 speed, and wider tire clearance).

The thing is ... my 54cm is not the recommended size, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around changing down to a 51cm. And since I'm looking for deals on used online, I won't be able to test ride.

I'm wondering if anyone in our community has a 51cm Cannondale I could ride around the block for size? I can meet you where you are. For Covid safety I can wear rubber gloves.

Any no hurry. :)

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!

Although I only remember them being on Columbus Ave just south of 81st apparently they have been in the area for a long time at a couple other locations. 

Please help us make a festive and interactive December club meeting (in lieu of a holiday party) by preparing a 3-minute presentation on your favorite winter riding tips and tricks!  The idea is for lots of members to present--either a live-via-Zoom, or in a recorded video clip--your favorite tips for winter riding.  You can focus on winter riding gear, how to ride in the snow, or anything else having to do with winter riding. 

It won't be fun unless *you* get off your ass and submit something!

Take a look at this 3 minute video that I did in one take, as an inspiration:

You know, our favorite Dunkin, off Piermont Road. Their phone is out of service. Anybody know if they're still open?

Edit: It's closed, either the franchise or the building has been sold. Their phone is out of service. This information comes from the Dunkin in Cresskill.
