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?   

Anyone interested in joining me for this: https://nycc.org/node/115600

We'll be taking it easy! 18ish or so...

Hi:

I know I'm risking starting a war, but....

I'm trying to decide if I should convert to tubeless.  I have two bikes and both haves wheels that are tubeless ready, but I run them with tubes. Currently, one bike is on the smart trainer with the wheels stored away, and the other is awaiting it's next outdoor ride.  I typically swap bikes about every 6 months.  

For the outdoor ready bike it could be 1 - 2 weeks between outdoor rides.

B-STS is 16mph and up, C-STS is 13mph resulting in a gap for mid speed riders.

I volunteered as a B-STS Coleader and am looking for other coleaders. Anyone interested can contact me or Michael Roth. We'd appreciate the help.

Hi:

I've used the DD in Demarest (next to the Greek restaurant) for snack & pit stops and things have always worked out well there. I noticed that there's a Dunkin on the northbound side of Piermont Rd & Broadway in Cresskill (south of Demarest) & would consider that for an alternate. Anyone have exprience coming in there with cyclists? Are they OK?

Is there a consolidated list of the towns and villages we typically ride through and the traps they set rules they have for cyclists?

Piermont, of course, is legendary for their scrupulous enforcement of traffic laws, plus single file, as pertains to cyclists.

I've noticed a few towns along 501 that have "single file" signs (overriding NJ law that allows 2 up on multi-lane roads.)

Alpine is zealous about preventing the carnage that a bicycle outside a rack might wreak.

What others? Can this be a permanent part of leader/rider resources?

I guess we won't have that pit stop for a while, although it's hard to tell from the photos exactly what building was destroyed. Fortunately it seems no one was injured.
