I want to ride to Croton Point Park this coming Saturday (6/17) at about 8:45 - 9:00 A.M. from upper Manhattan. Is anyone else interested or already planning to go? Please email me at [email protected]. I'm a B/15 - B/16 rider. Thanks!!

The best NYCC incentives deal is back for 2017: If you graduated a SIG this year and lead 4 cue sheet rides before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, you will be eligible for a free and fabulous NYCC Ride Leader jersey. 

Club members usually have to lead 14 cue sheet rides to get one of these jerseys, so don't pass up this oppportunity to put your SIG skills to use and get some great rides in.

Coyote running up and down 9D following my bike for a while. Never a dull moment in Putnam county

Thanks to the curiosity of Robert Meyer, a previously unexplored road descending from the Perkins summit was discovered. (Maybe rediscovered, but there are possibly hundreds of "perkins" search results pages and I tired of the review after 12.)
Anyway, as you ride around the tower at the summit, the road descends and you bear left before a small island and climb the short incline to get back on the main road for the descent.
If, at the island, you don't turn but continue straight you'll be on a badly worn road that continues down for a bit over 1mi. to a turnaround. Maybe 150 yds. before the end, there is a stunning overlook that yields an amazing vista. The price is a bit over 200 ft. of veritcal to make up.
And it's totally worth it.

It’s live! Escape New York’s brand new website, your convenient hub for everything you need to know about Escape NY 2017. Check out the rider information, from regulations to registration fees. Compare the routes. Worried about roadside repairs? Rest areas? We’ve got you covered. Find out how to be a sponsor. Or a volunteer. Learn about our charity partners—two of the reasons we ride.  Finally, take a minute to scroll through the fantastic photos of prior year’s events. They will definitely push your REGISTER NOW buttons!

Am I the only one who finds keeping track of ride schedules a bit cumbersome? Some of the web apps I use (like trello.com) generate iCal feeds, that you just stick into your calendar, and pooof - you have a schedule of items on your phone. Could we do the same with our wonderful NYCC rides?

Training for Optimal Performance

As recreational cyclists, we spend a more than a fair amount of time on our bikes, but are we actually training for optimal performance or even improving? Do you know that this year a couple of young, eager and innovative NYCC members have developed the club’s first racing and development team and ……have been remarkably successful?

Please join us for this fun ride.  All riders welcome.
