Patching Tubes
Question for those of you who patch tubes (is there anyone besides me who still patches tubes?): What's the maximum number of patches on a tube before you throw it out and get a new one? I'm about to put a fourth patch on one tube. Is this overdoing it? Is there a point of dimishing returns? (My tubes are relatively expensive at $9-16/tube, depending on size.)
Today 5/10/19 is the last day to sign up for the Berkshires NYCC dinner on May 25.
See the events page https://nycc.org/events/Berkshires2019, sign up and pay for dinner, and also put your name on the main list at the bottom of the page.
It may be possible to take a very few late reservations, but we can't make any promises.
advice for subway (preferably 1/2/3) to metronorth
Hello,
Does anyone have advice for a subway connection (preferably the 1/2/3) north of NYC to metronorth? Mostly I'm trying to avoid the ride to my apartment on UWS from either 125th or Grand Cental on the return in afternoon/ evening when there is a lot of traffic. Early morning I have no problem riding to either station when traffic is low.
Do any of the Bronx subway stops connect to metronorth with maybe a few mellow blocks? I've looked on Google maps but hard to tell.
Also, what would the best route be from 125th street station to Riverside Drive?
Thank you for any help/ advice

Saddle shopping/trying/lending
I vaguely recall not that long ago someone asked for a list of bike shops offering/allowing saddle tryout. But when I tried to search, it only turn up a few 10 year old threads.
Anyone remember the thread? Or know a more up-to-date list of shops that offers that?
Subway tips on rides in Connecticut & Southeast Westchester - 5 train terminus versus 6?
Hi all,
I've been doing occasional rides in southeast Westchester going out towards Connecticut along the Long Island Sound. If I want to get a jump on the ride, or finish the ride without riding all the way home, I've generally been using the 6 train terminus at Pelham Bay Park for that.
What's up with the team store?
I am trying to order club merchandise through Verge but it says the team store is clsoed when I enter the club code. Has anybody bought anything from the site recently? Any suggestions?

2 red light tix = $565
WTF! I got 2 tickets last week on Ft Washington Ave. On Weds @ 6am. At 169th St & 170th St. 1st ticket $190. 2nd $365. Oh, $10 in processing fees. This is ludicrous. I've pleaded Not Guilty. Am waiting to receive a court date. Suggestions? Hire a lawyer?
