Ride bikes, eat cheese, say hello to the cows.

Hey, it's a break from Piermont. Anyway, this arrived in your Club Secretary's (e)mailbag. Usual disclaimers apply.

The 2016 hiking/snowshoeing group meets most Sundays, now through early March. Now, after freezing Saturday on your bike, you can freeze on Sunday too.

This message is for those my friends who go directly to the message board, eschewing the home page.

Back in October, I went out with some buddies to PA for Bicycling Magazine's lovely Fall Classic, and you may guess that my use of bold italics means that I took that literally. About 20 miles into the century route, I crashed out on a washed out turn, and landed hard enough on my left arm to tear a huge nasty hole (and completely detach my my right thumb's UCL, requiring surgery and the longest recovery I have endured to date!). Thus, this great convertible jacket is no longer nearly as convertible as it used to be. It'll be great in spring as a short sleeve jacket, as is, but it is out of balance as a winter piece.

Dear all, I'd like to combine multiple sections of a computrainer workout (warm-up, hill repeats, intervals) that have been saved as multiple pwx files into a single pwx file that I will upload to the Training Peaks web site. (Unfortunately, Peaks cannot merge files, nor can it accept multiple files into a single workout.)

I tried using a web-based utility to convert the pwx files into tcx files and then merge those into a single tcx file. It seemed to work just fine, but when I tried to load the merged file to Peaks, it gave me an error: "Attempted to upload a file with multiple workouts." (Earth to Peaks: not actually multiple workouts, just multiple parts of the same workout.)

Training Peaks customer support was completely useless.

To those who might be interested, there are some public hearings regarding AMTRAK and the NE Corridor - Washington DC to Boston.  This is an opportunity for NYCCers to ask for roll-on access, secure bike parking at stations, etc.  Currently, you must box your bike to get onto Amtrak between NYC and DC. It is important to send a strong message that the ROW development incorporate multimodal opportunities. You can also comment online. Here are the details:

We’re going to delay the start time of tomorrow morning’s River Road ride by 15 minutes, just to give the sun some extra time to rise. I don’t expect that will make a lick of difference as far as temperatures go, but it should definitely help as far as visibility!

So, if you signed up for that ride (or are considering it) I’ll see you at 7:00AM tomorrow morning.
