As of yesterday afternoon, both bathrooms in Woodlawn Playground on Van Cortlandt Park East are closed temporarily.

The "Temporarily Closed" signs gave no indication of why they were closed or when they would reopen. There was no evidence of maintenance or construction work either. Hopefully it's a brief closure.

We had two presenters discuss basic bike maintenance last night at Connolly's I was one and other was the service manager for several TREK stores in this area. His presentation was superb. I leave the evaluation of my presentation to others.

there were several questions about products for cleaning bikes, lubing chains etc. I didn't think of it last night but I suggest that it can be worthile to look up the "Material Data Safety Sheet" every manufacturer of chemical products must post with OSHA. They are easy to find on the internet, just enter the manuafturet's name and MSDS.

This is taking place in NYC on Saturday the 15^thApril. If any cyclists are interested they will be required from approx.. 1pm – 4pm to take part in the parade along 6^th Ave.

More information on the event can be found here: 25th ANNIVERSARY NYC TARTAN WEEK POST PARADE PARTY | NYC Tartan Week. It is basically a celebration of Scotland in NYC and as Scotland is hosting the Cycling World Champs in August we want to promote this event at the parade by having 10-13 cyclists walk with their bikes in the parade.

Hi everyone. My friend James owns Cafe 181on the corner of 181 and Cabrini, just down the street from the entrance to the GWB path. He is interested to cater to cyclist, and asks if there are particular menu items that cyclist prefer. Do you have advice?  

Cafe 181, which we in the hood just call "181", is very bike friendly. In the summer there is outdoor (on a wide) sidewalk seating and the street box thing is there and in use now. James is happy to allow use of the bathrooms to riders. We've discussed him getting a bike rack, but honestly I dont know that it's needed. 

if anyone has a suggestion or request please share. 

thanks!

Cynthia

Due to the rainy forecast, all of tomorrow's C-SIG rides have been POSTPONED to Sunday. Let your group leader know if you will not be able to ride on Sunday, or if you have any other questions or concerns.

Does anyone know if the restrooms at the playground at W 148St/Hudson River (just north of the baseball fields, and south of the parking lot and drive in entrance from W 158th Street) are finally open and repaired? 

If not, do they have any portosans as temp solutions yet?

Thank you!

Due to rainy forecast, this week's ride is again moved to Sunday. Please see your leaders for details and, for B17 and 18, train assignments.
