Cycling camps in the Pyrenees and in the Basque country (in France)
Now that I have relocated in France, one of my riding buddies, Xavier Lopez, is a former cat.2 racer who organizes tours and cycling training camps in the "pays basque" and the rest of the Pyrenees. His camps are quite inexpensive compared to most. May and September 2015 are already fully booked, so I thought I would share this info with the NYCC for July and August 2015. There are also customized tours, but because of the weather constraints (roads are closed part of the year), the possibilities during other months are quite limited. You can contact Xavier directly at [email protected] and check his website at http://www.bikebasque.co.uk/

Garmin 810 failure.
My garmin 810 thought I was ending a route instead of starting one, so I shut the unit off to restart. Upon restart it would begin its start sequence and immediately after loading maps would shut down. This would recur repeatedly without fail after every restart. I googled the problem and read that someone else had the experience and the offered suggestion was to remove the optional memory card. I tried this and the 810 now turns on. So I guess I now have a bad or corrupted extra memory card. Anyone have this happen, and is the solution to throw out the card and buy a new one? Is this a known Garmin 810 issue?

Given the Saturday wait lists, I'm posting a hilly, but moderately paced, B15/50.
Limited bail options until lunch, but by then you've gotten through the hardest portion.

DONE & GROUP CLOSED; THANK YOU Group forming to see Warren Miller's latest Ski Film - - 11/15/14
Bold band of "20" formed and committed (to the movie, that is :>).
Ticket pickup details to be posted at a later point. I do expect to be at NYCC meeting tomorrow night so that is one option for you; the other would be to meet me early before doors open on Saturday @ Symphony Space, or to wait in line at their will-call window to pick up yours.
