NYCC jersey fit
I ordered the new club jersey seven weeks ago and it arrived today. I was quite surprised that it's a "race cut" fit. Considering the fact that we are recreational cycling club and not race team ... and considering the typical phyique of our aging membership, I think "club cut" is markedly more appropriate. I incorrectly assumed that the fit would be comparable to my much-loved NYCC 75th Aniversary jersey and am sort of pissed-off that it does not. I hate tight, clinging jerseys and will return it unless someone want to take a size large off my hands for my cost of $60 - $5 = $55.

Ride Leaders: No train reservations on the Harlem Line until further notice
This has been in effect for over a year, yet I still get frequent requests for train reservations on the Harlem Line.
Although individuals may take their bikes on these trains, Metro North will not grant us reservations on this line until further notice.
Board Changes
I am pleased to announce that Marc Simkin has agreed to join our Board as Content Editor following Gil Lavi’s resignation.

Summons in Piermont
Oh, no! On my ride this past Sunday we were stopped in Piermont and one of our group was given a summons for riding “two abreast”. I was at the front and didn’t see the infraction, or how serious the infraction was, or even if there was an infraction. After talking with the guy who got the summons, I’m inclined to think there was no infraction and he was just avoiding some bad road near the edge. Bah, humbug. Anyways, he was cool as can be, didn’t say a word, took the ticket. He looked at me and said, “Arguing with a Cop is no win”. Teach me how you do that. Big compliments for his composure.
Van Cortlandt Park Bike Trail
Does anybody have any knowledge of the status of the paving of the trail. The last I heard they were actually supposed to start in August.
Is this NYCC's legitimate Facebook group? Who moderates it?
Hi:
There's a group on Facebook "New York Cycle Club Members Group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYcycleclub/. It's a "closed" group. I'm a member and do see familiar names there. Is this legitimately NYCC's? If yes, who manages the membership and/or moderates the posts and comments?
Thanks.
