Why helmets don't prevent concussions and what might - Ted Talks

Submitted by NWeissman on Tue, 09/20/2016 - 7:45am

What is a concussion? Probably not what you think it is. In this talk from the cutting edge of research, bioengineer (and former football player) David Camarillo shows what really happens during a concussion — and why standard sports helmets don't prevent it. Here's what the future of concussion prevention looks like.

Has anbody ever done this? I'm thinking of doing it in the summer. I believe it's about 105 miles with under 6,000' of climbing.

Sunday riders

Submitted by mgeller1 on Sun, 09/18/2016 - 12:31pm

Coming home from my ride I'm passed by an 8 by 6 paceline only to see a rider on the G.W. turning a bend with one hand on his cell phone having a conversation turning wide and not looking ahead and then having an impatient cyclist pass me on the  eggress from the bridge only to stop on the other side and pull out his cell phone to make a call.

Can someone post the ENY routes?

I do not want to have to sign up to strava just to download the files for the Garmin.

Is there somewhere else where I can get the GPX files?

Submitted by EWeiss on Thu, 09/15/2016 - 1:26pm

Hi NYCC,

I have just created (and will, once again, be captaining) Team NYCC for Gran Fondo NJ 2017, to be held on September 10, 2017. I have done this now, so that our NYCC members who wish to join our team would be able to take advantage of the lowest registration price offer possible, which will go up on Sept. 19th. If you register for Team NYCC before Sept. 19th, you will not only receive a team discount of 20% (off the individual pricing), you will also get an additional $20.00 off the registration price. Please email me at: [email protected] to obtain our new Team NYCC password and I will reply quickly.

Escape New York A ride lead by team NYC velo

Submitted by AOstroy on Thu, 09/15/2016 - 12:17pm

Join us! For the 8th year in a row the CRCA B cup winning team NYC Velo will be leading an "A" ride for Escape New York. All strong NYCC riders are welcome; not just those that are interested in racing next year. We will meet at around 6:45 AM at Sakura park and congregate right outside on the fence just south of the entrance, at 7:15 we ride, you will spot us easily by our NYC VELO red and blue jerseys. The pace will be steady and we will try to keep everyone together. It may get a bit more selective on the longer climbs, but we always regroup at the top. We’ll stop for all mechanicals, etc. 

Chapeau to Richard!

Amazing accomplishment of climbing the highest pass in the Alps this summer. While the photos were not chosen as POW you can see them here http://imgur.com/a/UHoIo and one is below.

Even more amazing is that Richard apparently climbed the pass with his Bowling Ball!

May you never spend more time bowling than riding Richard!
