Just a reminder, hills will occur at 8 AM tomorrow to beat the heat.

On our Deja Vu ride to Nyack today I broke a spoke just after we started north on Knickerbocker Road. Norma, my co-leader and Charles took the group on the rest of the ride and did a great job. I was able to get to Bicycle Workshop in Tenafly and they were able to cut a new spoke to size, install it and true my wheel, all for an extremely reasonable price.

I then went straight to Nyack and met or group at Runcible Spoon.

Thanks to the team spirit and cooperation of our fellow members, the ride was not ruined and thanks to the ace mechanics at Bicycle Workshop, I was fixed up and back on the road in plenty of time to meet my group and have a good ride myself.

Hey wait listers,

Hi All!

The final race in the CRCA's Women's Development Series p/b Hatchmap is taking place this Sunday in Central Park. This series is specifically designed for Cat3 and Cat4 Women to gain race experience. It's a wonderful opportunity for women to get involved with racing, and is also the final chance to race in Central Park this year. Lots of NYCC women have taken part this year.

If you're already a CRCA racing member, you don't even need to register before the race. Season pass holders race for free, and it's just $5 entry for CRCA members who don't hold a season pass.

 "...according to the latest science, dehydration during sports is rarely if ever dangerous, but overhydration undeniably is."

It would be fun to meet up with any Siggies or otherwise who are planning to do Twin Lights Ride--probably 55 mile route with option to go longer or shorter depending on group.

Send me a message if you're interested

Good day,

Due to a change in plans, I'm having to sell my GFNJ ticket (transfer my bib, as they call it). I got mine at a discount, and will charge $100 even for it. Again, the event is on September 13th, and begins and ends in Morristown, NJ. A beautiful route, but one I won't be able to ride that day, sadly. I signed up for the 107-mile route, but you can choose any of the others if that's longer than you'd like (there's a 62-mile route and another shorter one or two). All supported very well, and a good time will be had, most assuredly.

Please contact me as soon as you can, and we'll make it happen. I'm at [email protected] and will reply quickly to you.

Many thanks!

Andy
