….Parkway, that is.

I’m a native New Yorker and decades-long member of the NYCC.  Now, in retirement, I’ve had the opportunity to follow the Dodgers and spend at least part of each year in Los Angeles, albeit each time I return here to “The City” I know I’ve come home.

That said, sometimes it takes spending time 3000 miles from home to remind you of the treasures you have in your own backyard.

For those unfamiliar with Los Angeles, there’s a community adjacent to LAX airport known as Westchester.  It’s a mixed community of commercial and residential uses.

Running along the northern perimeter of LAX in that area there is a smooth, nearly straight boulevard type road known as Westchester Parkway.

I see some posted, but you can't join apparently because you get an alert that you have to already be signed up for a SIG, which isn't open for registration until after the rides?

I noticed an altercation between a cyclist and a couple of BMW's on the corner of 9W and Van Nostrand at around 1240 this Sunday (1/26).

Anyone know what happened?

Saturday's weather forecast looks awful.

The Sunday ride listing will be up a little later.

By coincidence that's also just a bit  longer than  my longest ride(also in the Midwest!)  June 8, 1985  Saugus, Mich to Chicago 140 miles.  She was much younger than I.

It's going to be really cold Saturday morning, and snowing in the afternoon.  If you want to ride, but don't want to deal with the weather, come join me for a Zwift ride.  There are 3 rides posted they all start at 9am.

See you there.

Hey NYCC,

I want to share a brand new event from the Parkinson's Foundation that is happening in NYC (and 6 other cities) on February 8th! Parkinson’s Revolution is an indoor cycling event that combines high energy cycling and fundraising to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease (PD). This year is our inaugural event and it’s also right in our backyard!

As we ramp up for the 90 minute ride, I wanted to invite our outdoor road cyclists inside for a day of indoor riding, training, and some fun perks (did I mention chair massages and champagne?)!

This posted from the Palisades MTB site a few days ago:

"Lots of people are wondering if SixMile is rideable, given the nice weather. The answer is a big fat NO. All should consider the trails closed for the next few months unless completely frozen (i.e. Below freezing for days)."

You can still order our custom NYCC merino jersey.

From order date to delivery takes less than 4 weeks.

"it came today and fits perfectly with the extra length I requested. Can't wait to try it on a ride! "

October through December.  When will they be published?
