We can't start at Grant's Tomb due to the Crit, so the recently posted rides are being reposted with revised details.

Most ASTS rides will start at the NJ Side of GWB (9:00AM for 23+, 21/22  and 9:15AM for 20/21 and 19/20), but check the listing for your group.

Hi anybody taking the QBB Bike lane daily.. can we get staus updates.

Is it dry yet

Yesterday was a beautiful riding day except both ways on the QBB.. It was soaking wet nasty. With a huge puddle at the Queens end.

If you cannot maintain warmth to your hands along your arms, you will have cold hands. [Yes, you can use chemical or electric heaters in you gloves or mittens, but the fix I propose is simpler]

If you put on another layer over your torso just to add another layer on your arms, you risk overheating.

Try this runners trick.

Cut the end off of an old pair of tube socks, [they can be cotton as your arm will not sweat] and place them under your arm warmers. You can wear all this under your outer jacket. Yes, I am advocating arm warmers over your jersey but under your jacket. Insulating peripheral circulation is akin to plumbers wrapping heating pipes from the furnace.

Looking for a rec on shoe covers. B-SIG trial was *COLD*, I normally don't ride below 50 degrees but looks like I have no choice to buck up and gear up.

Features to look for if any? Any sites to look for sales?

TIA, pleasure to be riding with you all.

 There is a new domain extension now available .BIKE

Dedicated to all things in the world of cycling.

 The domain NYCC.BIKE is currently available. 

 In light of the fuss everyone kicked up over Rapha's new Cycle Club New York.. or what ever they wound up calling it, would it not be an idea for the club to snap up this domain before someone else does. It's only 30 bucks..

Board are you listening..

Anyone been in Central today? I'm considering an evening ride tonight. Is it dry, wet, sloppy, fine?

Big thanks!

Hi Does anyone know of any clubs I could contact when I visit SUNY Binghamtom next Saturday or any rides for me to do under 50 miles?  Thank you Dave

Parkview Ave / Scarsdale Road as of 3/7/2015...

The road is very torn up in sections. It's beyond potholes, it's cratered. Quite perilous. A northern portion of it was not even plowed at all, so it's a ride through softpack snow. 

If you need to take it, be extremely cautious and be prepared to ride across the double yellow (wait for all traffic to clear) to avoid some hazards. Reroutes are advised for maximum safety.

It would need to be substantially repaved for it to be worry-free again. Please leave a note here if you notice the problematic sections are repaired. I think it'll be fixed just after the spring thaw (it's that bad), but you never know.
