From Port Authority's 2014 Capital Plan, suspender cables on GWB North Path will be replaced first.  Meaning cyclists will continue to use the South Path for the next few years.  More to come on this, but this is what's known from what PANYNJ has publicly released.  Thanks to Brian V. for the heads up.

I have been testing three new jackets for over a year and have found an excellent jacket made of highly technical material for those March/April rides where temperatures vary by up to 20 degrees during the ride.  

The WUSS series is back on the ride listings... for all those that had signed up already, you are once again listed as participants for this Saturday.

For those that posted on the message board, the Facebook page, and the several dozen members who emailed us directly, Harry and I, along with the rest of the WUSS leaders are very grateful for your concern and support.

Finally, a MAJOR thank you to club president Neile Weissman for his calm and level-headed influence in this matter.

Now all we need is decent weather... anyone have any influence with Horae or Boreas?

Is there any interest in joining an afternoon ride in CT Park? I am thinking Tue and Thur at 7.15pm at TOG.

Please drop your email address if you are interested.

PS. Due to it's timing the ride cannot be posted in the rides/events section.

I've got a titanium Serotta with carbon seat stays and fork, and after 9 years, with good maintenance, it's in good shape. But there are scratches in the carbon (nothing really deep, but "there"), the Ti could use a polish, and the decals are half gone. However, by the time you strip it & ship it and pay Serotta, it's close to a grand. Is it worth it? Does the carbon really need stripping & recoating? I'd appreciate opinions pro and con -- while the weather's still bad enough so I won't miss the bike for a couple of weeks.

At noon sharp on Sunday, Feb 2, Right Of Way is assembling as many folks as possible at Grand Army Plaza for a photo shoot to support the big legislative push to grant NYC home rule authority to install and enforce 20 mph speed limits on residential streets.

At the shoot, everyone will hold one of our SPEED: 20 IS PLENTY signs -- the ones we installed on lamp-posts along Prospect Park West in November. We have 100 signs and we want to get 100 people.

We have a photographer, a ladder and a media outlet. Now we need you. Please come. And spread the word.
