WHY ARE "DATED" LISITNGS - LONG PAST RELEVANCY - PERMITTED TO CLOG UP THE MESSAGE BOARD?

Geo Carl Kaplan

Hi there,

My name is Laine, and I am a new member to NYCC. I am looking for other competitive cyclists who wish to ride as a group on Sundays. Ride length varies from 4-6 hours. I only see a "C level" ride on Sundays, and feel there is a need for an A/B group ride. 

I will check this forum for replies on Fridays to see about coordinating a meet up point: NJ side og GWB is a great option IMO. 

Let's see what happens!

Due to inclement weather, we are postponing CSIG classification to sunday.  Same Time and Place, just moved to sunday.

Please remember this weekend, we switch to Day Light Savings, so Spring Forward your clocks. 

And if you'll be using public transportation, plan for sunday schedules.

Your CSIG leaders

...due to weather forecast for Saturday.

For details, see your SIG leader. 

Due to an electrical issue and no heat. No word on portajohns or warmer weather impact.

Does anyone know if the qualifying ride on 3/11 at Prospect Park has been postponed due to snow showers scheduled for Saturday?

Prospect Park Alliance has announced a pilot program for redesigning traffic lanes - we'll soon see an 18-month trial of an additional pedestrian lane on the right.  Further options are being considered.  The Alliance is conducting a survey in which it seems to be presenting a choice between two strategies:  i) a rational, maximal separation between the slowest and fastest users, and ii) a traffic calming attempt to slow down cyclists with measures such as pinch points (eg planters in the fast bike lane!) and slow hours at unspecified times of the day.

I hope they can be persuaded that promoting smooth, predictable, seperate flow for cyclists will be safest for everybody.  So let's chime in to support safe, fun cycling.

If you use the LIRR app and already have the train ticket, give yourself 20 minutes the first time going from the street level to your departure track (3 levels).

I arrived into Grand Central this past Saturday on a return trip with a bike. It toke me 3 elevator rides (backtrack on 1) and the longest escalator in NYC to exit OUT onto the surface street level. The current signage is minimal for the pristine and clean architectural interior. It took me 10 minutes to pop up to a building on Vanderbilt/43rd.

My guess if/when one learns all the new ins and outs, it would still take >5 mins to go down to the tracks.

Below is a link to a tutorial I've just created on the Explore feature of the RidewithGPS mobile app. If you are unfamiliar with the feature I encourage members to take a peek. Particularly when travelling and you want ideas for routes in that region, it is a great tool. We will have the link added to our NYCC library page which also has a tutorial on voice navigation and a webnar describing the features of our library. 

Your Ride Librarians have revised most of the routes that previously went up Ft. Washington to cross the south path of the bridge over to Ft. Lee. We've kept the Ft. Washington route, now up to 179th St., to get to the North Walk. On the return we've routed onto 180th St. up to Ft. Washington. We know this currenty isn't ideal, though we hope we'll get better cycling infrastructure on this route very soon. Many of you will choose other routes to the North Walk. But we felt it important to incorporate the North Walk into our routes sooner rather than later. (If you do use a different route, just start the RWGPS route at the entrance to the Walk.)
