I don't know who is behind the NYCC Instagram account - but wanted to pass on kudos for really doing a great job lately. Frequent posts, great captions, and a really fantastic insight into the life of the club! I'm enjoying following along.

Thank you whoever you are!

I started racing with the NYCC Racing team this year, and have gotten really hooked on Cyclocross - it is a blast! Races, however, are usually a good distance away - meaning getting up very early and driving out to somewhere in New Jersey, Long Island, Upstate, or Pennsylvania, which is why I am super excited for this event - happening on the water in Astoria this weekend. 

If you have one and can't go, even last minute, please LMK 'cause I wanna go!

ONE PROBLEM. I am currently in rehab​ for my knee​ at Upper East Side Rehab at 211 E 79 St. [between 2 & 3 Ave] I need someone to sign me out and sign me back in. That's all there is to it. Once that is done you don't need to carry me, push me or roll me. I am totally self sufficient and will have no problem keeping up with you. We can take the Q train at 72 Street and 2nd Ave to 42 St, 4 stops. I will leave with you anytime you are ready. Thanks Hal

While we are relegated to the north sidewalk, and tempting as it is to ride the car ramp of the GWB on the NY side to avoid that first staircase, keep an eye out for police.  I am one of the tempted--but fortunately, I glanced behind just as I was about to go for it this morning and saw a police car emerge from some hidden spot as I certainly didn't see it prior. The police car then parked at the very point riders would hop that short wall and stayed there.  I took the staircase needless to say, but stopped and had a brief chat with them on the subject, and they made it clear riders will be ticketed if caught.  

I am not sure if I have the wrong area, but Monday's newsletter indicated that the stretch of Riverside Park between 59th and 72nd has involved a detour during the month of November and is now complete.  The stretch was operating normally last month but when I rode it on Monday night, there was indeed a detour onto the pedestrian path closer to the river.  I guess that this detour was postponed until now.  If this can be updated/corrected to reflect the estimated time we will have this detour that would be great.

(For you credulous types, no, not really.)

I just heard that we are sold out.  I will be at the venue tomorrow late afternoon to see if we can increase the capacity.  I will post something after 10pm tomorrow.  If possible, we will keep the price to $20 for another day or so.

Go directly, go immediately to the 18:40 mark.
