Last Minute - Sunday "C" Knockabout

Submitted by nymultisport on Sat, 12/05/2015 - 3:03pm

With this wonderful weather, Marilyn and I plan to ride a meandering 20, 30, 40, ?? miler in the city tomorrow. From an UWS start—~9-ish—to Brooklyn Roasters for a latte, then east-ish on Willoughby to its end at Central Ave, traveling SE toward Rockaway P’kwy…. or something like that. Depending on who shows, and group desire, the route may change completely.

If available, send an email. If not, Happy Holidays. M&K

Late Posting: GWB to Beacon

Submitted by JMonroy on Thu, 12/03/2015 - 11:24pm

My Saturday opened up, and I felt compelled to list a ride while the weather is still pleasant.

Due to the last-minute listing, it will be a small ride, and we don't have a train reservation. But I would think that Metro North can accomodate six of us on a late-afternoon on Saturday in December.

Received this email this morning from Paul Levine
 

This is an email that I never dreamed of writing. I can put a corporate spin on this message or "call a spade a spade" like my grandmother used to say, and share with you the information you deserve to hear as a loyal customer and friend.

For those Beer Loving Members, How About Some Cider?

Submitted by SReynolds on Mon, 11/30/2015 - 2:22pm

Former NYCC member Jason Spears dropped his job at Starbucks to start a Cider brewery in the Seattle area largely to raise money for his daughter Lucy, who has a rare brain condition that sees limited research dollars. Also, the cider looks good!

Hey,

Is there a route from Manhattan to Poughkeepsie where one might safely ride?

I'm gaga over my helmet cover

Submitted by HSchiffman on Sat, 11/28/2015 - 5:43pm

Just back from riding in this on and off light rain. It wasn't heavy enough to have to wear something waterproof on top as the rain never soaked the fabric and body heat from the effort could escape without perspiring.

My wife had bought me a helmet cover years ago, which I never wore. I threw it into the backpack seeing the questionable forecast. Come the rain, I put the eyeglasses in the pack (I was on greenways) and put the helmet cover on. No dripping of water in the face. My head stayed warm with just a light headband. There were puddles. In Van Cortlandt Park wet leaves coated the bike on the Old Put. It was wet for sure.

Saturday ride to the Market late posting.

Looks like the weather will be fine in the morning and I intend to ride out to the Market. Please consider coming along. http://nycc.org/node/77511. Nothing special, just a quick coffee and back over the GWB before lunch.
