First off, Happy New Year, all!  I pass along some hearsay under the heading "Don't Shoot the Messenger."  Please. 

I went out at 1ish today on my favorite riding path:  River Rd; sheltered from westerly winds, fewer cars, and peaceful.  Another boulder had rolled off the mountain into the center of the road, so I stopped at Alpine to let the police know.  I was informed that "the powers that be" are working on eliminating bikes at all, as a few have sued after crashing, caused -- the cyclists say -- by debris in the road. 

I mean by this thread to provoke a serious, thoughtful discussion.  Not a forum for complaining.

Here's one that while not easy to keep, pays huge dividends:

Join, and complete, a SIG this spring.

Happy New Year!

Looks to be cold but not too windy, so I'm going to make my annual New Year's Day pilgrimage to the 9W Market (which is happily open from 8-5) for a short stop and a coffee and croissant. I sent this in to the Ride Listing, but not until today and it has yet to show up. My Bad. However, if anyone is interested we can meet at Union Square (NW corner at Starbucks - 17th St. and Broadway) or if you prefer at the GWB, Jersey Side under the overpass. Email me ([email protected]) if interested. B17, so please be up to that pace, however no drops, we'll stay together. This is an independent, not a club ride,  unless the ride goes up on the ride listing. If the ride does go up please sign up there so that I can print out the roster etc. Hope to be back for lunch.

Was it a high water mark in distance, speed or ascent?

A shared moment among friends? 

Did you achieve oneness with the bike?

RIDE IS ON

Where can I get a printable mileage log for 2014?

I just looked and renewal page and it states "Cost includes a one-year membership for one individual from the date you renew." I assume this is a mistake and if you renew, early you should not have a reduction in time.  For example my membership expires Feb. 2014. If I renew now my memembership should expire April 2015 not December 2014. does anyone know if this is a misprint or what is correct?
