Looking for a long Sunday group ride?
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!

Proposals for redesigning Prospect Park Drive
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.
