Submitted by LWintner on Mon, 03/13/2017 - 3:52pm

Forecast of blizzard and wind chill of 15 degrees.

UPDATE - Wednesday CP Snowshoeing is Now CP Walk

Submitted by nymultisport on Mon, 03/13/2017 - 1:21pm

Not enough snow to snowshoe in the city. Instead, we'll get together for a few hours of walking in the northern Central Park area. Expect a rambling route dictated by shoveled/unshoveled park paths enroute to that planned lunch at the Boathouse.

Meet 9:00am at Cafe Amrita, 301 West 110th @CPW for a capuccino or latte. Leaving Amrita at 9:30am. We'll walk in cold, cloudy, snowshowery conditions. We intend to carry our ice/snow-capable footgear in case an adventurous impulse strikes. Questions? Email Ken or Marilyn. Revisit this post before leaving home Wednesday morning for any updates.

Does anyone know what will become of that space?  And if a new mini-supermarket will replace it, when will it open?

B SIG Orientation is ON for today

B SIG orientation is ON for this morning.

 

As previously noted, we will not require anyone to ride the laps today if they feel they don't want to, but we
will offer that option for those who do. (We will have leaders ride the Prospect Park loop in the morning to make sure it is safe to do so. If they
say it's not safe, we'll cancel the laps for everyone.)

 

All night bike rides to cure depression?

Submitted by NWeissman on Fri, 03/10/2017 - 11:49pm
The notion that we can manipulate sleep to treat mental illness has also been around for many years. Back in the late 1960s, a German psychiatrist heard about a woman in Tübingen who was hospitalized for depression and claimed that she normally kept her symptoms in check by taking all-night bike rides.
