Elections. . . .  .

Not the boring Donald Trump/Hillary Clinton election – it’s the exciting New York Cycle Club elections!!

Nominations close at the membership meeting October 11th. Voting begins shortly thereafter – the final results announced at the membership meeting November 8th.   Our new board goes into action January 1, 2017.

Just in case there was any doubt...

Weather not great. If you ended up on the ride list after the cancellation email went out please stay home.see you next time 

Please join us, your northern neighbors, for Westchester’s best supported ride with beautiful fall foliage and untrafficked roads --  the 2016 Golden Apple on Sunday October 9th. The wide selection of routes on our Hudson Valley roads lets you take in that fall foliage, no matter what type of cycling you like or what distance you want to ride. It's only $40 for advance registration. We may close registration before the day of the event because of the volume of signed-up riders.

This is an edited outtake from the redoubtable Streetsblog. You should be reading it.

Hi Everyone,

2016 was my first summer with NYCC. (and a great one at that!)

I heard lots of talk about the SIGs.  I saw the information about the various A, B and C SIGs, but nothing about potential dates for the next series.  

Anyone know about what time of year these usually take place?

Dear Fellow Members,

Listed below are the current positions and the names of those who've been nominated to date.

NOTE THAT EVERY POSITION IS "OPEN" IN THAT MORE THAN ONE CANDIDATE CAN RUN FOR ANY POSITION.

Probablity of rain is 100% at 4:00 AM, down to 65% at 6:00. Even if the rain stops the roads will be wet, unpleasant and somewhat dangerous.

Time to break out the trainer.
