Website request: Get signed-up rides in Calendar

Submitted by meghprkh on Sun, 07/09/2023 - 4:12pm

Hi all,

New-ish member doubt: Is there a way to get the rides you sign up for in Google Calendar automatically?

Afaik two common ways to do this are:
- An ics link linked to your account that tells you rides you signed up for
- Sending a calendar event attachment thing in the email of the signed up for ride email

Apologies if this thing already exists somewhere and I have been unable to find it

Regards,
Megh

Hey- I have seen NYCCers up there before. Lets get together for a short ride. I will have my CRX bike with flat pedals.

For those wondering what this is, the Greyfox Bluegrass Festival is in Oak Hill NY July 13,14,15, 16. This is a camping event.

Lets meetup, email me and we will work out the details.

Taking a bike on Amtrak

Has anyone done this? Do you have to bring anything to secure your bike and do you need a lock? I understand you have to make a reservation in advance and remove the front wheel but that's all I know. Thanks! Also any intel on elevators at moynihan station would be helpful.

New Paltz registration closes 7/20.

650B 47mm or 700C 38mm?

Submitted by Marc on Sun, 07/02/2023 - 6:47pm
For NYCC rides in the B Dirty Adventure category and other dirt club rides, what would be a better wheel and tire combination: 650B 47mm or 700C 38mm?
 
To ask the same question in a different way, given that these two bikes are the same except for the wheels and tires, which would you recommend for a beginner to NYCC dirt rides?

...to paraphraze the famous/infamous National Lampoon cover.

Summer has arrived with all of its Canadian smog glory here in NYC.  Combing through a bunch of long delinquint links in my bookmarks folder it occurs to me that many of the bike-themed forums, and possibly this one, lay somewhat barren.  I used to go to Bikeforums and RoadBikeReview to find what was 'hot' in shopping deals.  Doesn't seem to be such a thing these days.

Barring 'social media' is there some place that tracks great bike/kit/gear deals and discounts?  Why isn't there some form of Deals Thread here at NYCC?

Oh and...  https://www.interesly.com/dark-twisted-story-national-lampoon-cheeseface/
