The Ethicist

My cousin has a beautiful guesthouse in southern France called Le Grand Depart (https://www.legrandepart.com/) and is running a raffle offering a free 4 night stay during the Tour de France 7/18 – 22. The place is just down the road from the finish of Stage 15 on 7/20! 

The drawing is Jan 25th.

Ugh, I found out through the 5BBC that Peter

Morales passed away I believe on New Years Eve.

Peter, a CPA, did the club's tax returns for many

years In addition to being a regular on B rides

(later C rides) for many years. A Brooklyn resident

Peter often did the Berkshires (my one-time roommate)

and West Point weekends.

And now I learn that Alfredo Garcia has just died.

Alfredo, like Peter, was a former Board Member

and in the 2000s organized the pre-NYC Marathon

Ride (before it got out of control and has subsequently 

been CXLD)

Two fine gentleman and most excellent cycling companions.

RIP Peter & Alfredo 

Does anyone have any recommendations for road bike rentals in the Costa Blanca region of Spain? Looking for bikes ships near Albir if possible. Thanks.

After getting the notice I just renewed my NYCC membership for another year.  Only a one year renewal is offered.

I was wondering if offering the option to renew for two years could be considered?

Not that I'm getting any younger but I do hope to be around for a while yet!

I saw today that people with rear bike racks may be fined for evading congestion pricing. The issue of the plate be obscured has always been a possible violation but they are lumping bike racks in with plate aleteration and other clear means of avoiding tolls. FYI

Hello,

I am really looking forward to doing the SIG this year.  Does anyone have the dates available yet?  I ask because I am a teacher with spring break in late March and I don't want to miss a mandatory event and miss the whole thing.  Thank you!!!

Wondering if anyone knows of any beginning road cycling classes on safety, form, etc. in the Manhattan or Brooklyn area - thank you!!

It is plowed and cleared of snow only within the VC park boundary. The rest heading north is snow covered and will likely remain so until the rain storm on Sunday. It is not deep, and quite lovely if you're there with the right tires. The OCA would likely be a good choice with those tires.

does anyone know where a 2025 mileage log is available?

thanks
