New questions on the new jersey.
Forum masters are picqued by criticism. This is not criticism: it is inquiry. I civilly ask here for explanations, that's all.

Cold Spring Gravel Ride this weekend
Hi!
I would like to go to Cold Spring for a gravel ride on Sunday. Does anyone want to join?
https://nycc.org/node/85790/85743
The train that I have in mind is the 8:32am from GCT.
Disclosure: I have not scouted this ride, and I have not led a ride before. Please bring extra tubes and make sure your bike is in working order. Don't forget your bike pass for the train.
Best,
Tim
Lost glasses
A pair of black and silver readers in an orange neoprene slipcase, lost somewhere today while riding. I'll buy you a beer if you find them.
Are there GPS tracks / cue sheets for the D-SIG rides available anywhere?
Just asking for those of us who aren't in the D-SIG but might be interested in venturing out on our own and getting in some dirt experience.
is Henry Hudson open again?
thinking of riding after work
Why does the board want to reconstitute the club as a 501(c)3?
When will the board provide the members their rationale for moving forward with this change and when will the members be allowed to vote on this?
Thanks.

Some somewhat random questions - Charity status and financials
It's absolutely great that everything is up on the site. I really mean this, and I hope I didn't come off as disrespectul to anybody specific in raising questions as to where they were. .. that out of the way (maybe), a couple questions on some things, if I may. I hope various members of the board do read these questions and discussions, as I wouldn't know which specific person(s) such should be addressed to privately.
1) March minutes indicate 2018 Income was overstated by $20,000. I think that means the club technically actually had a loss of about $3K in 2018? But since this will transfer over to 2019, we'll probably be better off, come the next P/L statement?
Let's have a civil discussion about incivility.
In a different thread here, Brian V. pulled the following from the just posted minutes from the Jan. 9, 2019 board meeting:
