Piermont ticket

Submitted by th88 on Fri, 10/02/2015 - 11:43am

Received a ticket for the "single file rule" while exiting ENY Piermont rest stop last weekend. Surprised the Piermont police dept is handing tickets at the exit of an organized event, with no traffic whatsoever and many cyclists riding in the same direction. Also surprised they were doing this very close to the ENY rest stop exit given relationship with NYCC.

In any case, if someone had experience with tickets in Piermont and can be in touch with me it would be much appreciated.

I'm wondering if i should just plead guilty and avoid spending time on this, but i don't know what the amount of the fine is. The ticket is also vague and says "disobeyed traffic control device"

Note to the Board about membership reporting....

Submitted by EJaffe on Wed, 09/30/2015 - 11:02pm

Dear NYCC Board,

A current NYCC member tally has traditionally been reported every month at Board meetngs and been recorded in that months minutes.

Yet a perusal of Board minutes in our online archive shows almost no such reporting for the past two years.

If membership is indeed down, it would be useful to visualize any worrisome trend and easy to do if those numbers were available.

Is there a reason for their omission?

 

Respectfully,

Ellen

 

THE FOURTH TERM AMENDMENT

Submitted by GKaplan on Wed, 09/30/2015 - 8:10pm

The concept of ex post facto precludes the incumbent from taking advantage of the amendment.  But more practically the incumbent having served three terms is not eligible to be nominated, and since the amendment will not be counted until the election is held, and thus will not be in force during the election in November the incumbent cannot run.

Let him have his piece of cake.

Black River Road 10/3 Ride

Submitted by J S on Wed, 09/30/2015 - 7:00pm

Hi folks, just wanted to say that as of Wednesday evening, the ride is still on.

The currrent weather report calls for about a 50% chance of rain in the morning. If it does rain, it'll be very light.

If the ride gets cancelled, I'll add to this post.

Bike MS is this Sunday

As an FYI to non-participating cyclists, they've changed the route a bit this year.  The ride will not be using Henry Hudson Drive ("River Road") at all.  We will be using Hudson Terrace and go directly onto 9W.  On the way back to NYC, we will not be using 9W, but instead will wind our way through Piermont Rd./Anderson/Engle and unfortunately have to deal with Homans/Hudson/E. Hudson and Booth.  The 55/100 milers will be starting from 55 St. (approx.) and the West Side Highway at 7:20AM.
