Tomorrow's (1/11) CP Community Council meeting was canceled following the passing of Detective McDonald.

He was shot, while questioning three boys regarding bicycle thefts in CP in 1986, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He died today following a heart attack a few days ago. (Wikipedia)

Club member Alex Ostroy will be having a show of his cycling-related art work at the Rapha store, 159 Prince Street, on February 2. The show is appropriately titled "Somebody's Always Faster Than You." 

From the Rapha website:

You are probably aware we have a “Volunteer of the Month” that is recognized each and every month.  This member receives a token of our appreciation at the Club meeting and is celebrated on the front page of the Club Website. 

Interesting article. Who woulda thunk.

We are invited to meet the new Commanding Officer of the Central Park Precinct at the upcoming CP Community Council meeting on Wednesday, Jan 11, 2017, 7PM.

The meeting will be at the CP Precinct HQ (85th Street Transverse, just south of the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir) 

There will also be a speaker from the CP Medical Unit who will give an update on the CPMU.

Does anyone know what the Central Park Drive is like currently? Ice? Snow? Crazy to even think about it?

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if it's OK to ride local trails today (Sunday), or are the conditions too damaging to the trails?

Anyone familiar with this SciCon hardcase? https://us.sciconbags.com/products/bike-travel-bags-bike-cases/road/aerotech-evolution-tsa

I'm looking to find a shipping box/case that requires the least amount if disassembly and is still protective. 

Just in case anyone thought about riding (or walking) across the bridge today, the PANYNJ has closed the south sidewalk.

As of Sunday 10:40 a.m., sidewalk has been reopened.
