Need Help Creating a NYC Area - Princeton Ride

Submitted by YoniKochavi on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 3:53pm

Most of the threads I found on NYCC.ORG are 15+ years old so I'm hoping that the ride mavens have some more current suggestions.

I want to do a century from the NYC area to Princeton and back. I will drive from my home in Wantagh to the start so beginning in Northern NJ is not an issue.

As always, thanks for all of your great suggestions.

Garmin Edge 1000 - battery lIfespan / replace ?

Submitted by adamaston on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 9:25am

Does anyone else have experience with an ageing Garmin Edge 1000? Mine is about 4-5 years old. I think the battery is reading the end of its lifespan. Curious if others have experienced this and how you handles if so. I spy some DIY battery replacement videos on Youttube, but it looks slightly advanced. Thanks! Adam 

Lost keys

Lost my keys somewhere between Piermont and GWB (or possibly Riverside). Light blue Citibike key on there, along with a few others. Hopefully someone out there found them, please get in touch.

Thanks.

Scouting Ride to City Island postponed to Sunday, 8/9

Submitted by LWintner on Sat, 08/08/2020 - 7:06am

Sorry but there's a chance of rain/thunder today with almost no bailouts for 20+ miles.  Standing under a tree in a thunderstorm is not great fun.

Tomorrow looks perfect.  Please join us then.

Skills coach

Submitted by EODonnell on Sat, 08/08/2020 - 6:21am

I am looking for a coach for a friend whose handling skills are problematic.  We are not looking for someone who would do HIIT/High Intensity Interval Training, but rather someone who can coach on riding in the peloton, tight pace lines, properly negotiating turns...skills, not speed/strength/endurance.  Any recommendations?

books with rides?

Submitted by followtheflo on Fri, 08/07/2020 - 7:07am

Hi,

Are there books listing rides in Hudson Valley, north east or even the whole of the U.S. people would recommend?

Thanks!

 

Power Meters

Submitted by EODonnell on Thu, 08/06/2020 - 12:39pm

Can anyone recommend a book or application for training with a power meter?  Coaches are very expensive.
