Red light ticket: $375?!

Submitted by adamaston on Sat, 08/05/2017 - 6:15pm

Hi all, I just got my 2nd red light ticket on my bike in the past 5 years. The first one was around $180. This one was billed at $350. Can anyone shed light on this? Why so much: has the amount gone up overall? Does a 2nd offense get hit harder? Thanks for any advice, and consolations! Adam

End of Summer Montauk Ride CANCELLED for 8/5

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Fri, 08/04/2017 - 5:52pm

Weather forecast is getting nastier. It's too long of a ride to risk the conditions currently in the forecast. (Light rain all day through all the areas we'll ride through)

Ride may be reposted at some point, but for now it's fully cancelled.

Outdoor 20 Minute FTP Test Location Suggestions

Submitted by prosperitydragon on Fri, 08/04/2017 - 12:18pm

Hi all!

Have just moved to the States and am getting a little more serious with cycling, to the extent that I just bought a power meter (PowerTap P1 - highly recommend). I'm looking for inspiration on a good location to do a 20 minute FTP test (i.e. relatively constant gradient, no stop lights, no pedestrians etc.) in Manhattan, Brooklyn or NJ. Ideally I'd do it at Bear Mountain, alas it is a bit far away for an FTP test...

Appreciate your thoughts!

I bought a beautiful new Bianchi Intenso in may and just learned that there's a r scallion te fork and I can't ride it until some time in September.  A friend in the club suggested that I post to see if anybody has a bike they could lend me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

A SIG Weekday Training Schedule?

Submitted by ichalyt on Thu, 08/03/2017 - 11:40am

Hi all,

I'm interested in training with the A SIG next year, and I know that riding midweek is a key requirement. Can one of the leaders or recent grads tell me which weekday(s) you typically ride? My work schedule makes mornings difficult, so I'd like to get a head start on moving things around for next year.

Thanks,

Ilya
