I'm a new member and trying to find the information on the Prospect Park time trial. When I went to the orientation session, I recall having to sign-up for this. I don't see it in the Calendar of rides. When is it? And where exactl do I have to be, who am I meeting with to time me... etc. Would like to know a few more details about what to do as a new member. 

Thanks,

Drew

DATE: Saturday (2/25) 2:00-4:30. (Recollections and stories start at 3PM. (Bring yours.))

LOCATION: 2 East 79th Street, 3rd Floor (Ukrainian Institute of America)

Caryl Baron, widow of Steve Baron, both past members of NYCC, died last week of surgery complications. If anyone is interested, there will be a memorial gathering for her this coming Saturday afternoon.  Details are pending but I will post them as soon as I get them from Judy Goldberg.

The funeral is tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/22/23, at 2pm.  I believe it's at the Greenwood Cemetery but check with Judy if you wish to attend.

Caryl Was one of the first people I met in this Club and she was warm and welcoming as was her husband, Steve.

RIP Caryl.

As the SIGs are about to begin and the first anniversary of Christy's death is a month away, I re-post below my note from last June 2nd. Predictably, it received no response from the president or board. I revisit this idea for one last time.

I have an idea to memorialize Christy. I proposed it to club officers April 5th. Like all my ideas for the club…nothing came of it. I propose it to the club body today.

Today I received the NYCC newsletter with the announcement of a new format for the Club's website.

Among the "innovations" being contemplated is a feature where riders already listed as attending an upcoming ride will have to "check-in" at some point during the 24-hour period preceding the ride start.

Yes, you know -- in the same fashion where first you go on-line to buy an airplane ticket and even though you're "booked" you then have to go back to the airline's website to obtain your boarding pass during that 24-hour pre-flight period.

I am getting back to cycling and using it as part of my training for long races.  I am not ready for the b group but was hoping to ride with the c group but there are not enough rides listed on NYCC.  I would hate to have to join another club.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Suraia

Anyone have any experience with these? I tried the similar Compass / Rene Herse tires: heavenly ride, but too many flats.

Our friends at Morris Area Freewheelers are inviting particpants to their 8th Annual Roy's Penn Dutch Weekend - Jun 23-25, 2023.  

It's organized similar to our own Weekend in Berkshires.—you arrange your own transportation, meals and housing.  And it will cost you $30 to join the Freewheelers.

Here's the 2023 details and a video of the 2022 Weekend.

Does anyone have any recommendations for wall mounts that they like for road bike storage in an apartment?

My partner and I have decided that a 'pile of bikes' is not the best use of our limited apartment floor space.

I apologize if this was covered already in a recent post.
