Meet at 72nd and 5th Ave

Looked like there were some B riders looking for something to do, so I posted a ride. Check it out!

Beginner's Hardpack SCOUTING ride

I don't ride at night as a general rule. But from time to time I'm headed for GCP before dawn, or get caught out late on rides that take longer than planned, and wish I had a convenient light to clip on. Here are front and rear lights that are easy to clip on when you need them and fit together like the ying/yang symbol so they are easy to carry. http://igg.me/p/citylite/x/5609330

I don't normally hock product, and I'm not making a penny doing this. I just thought it was a very clever idea and a worthwhile start up you might want to know about...and "yes" I ordered a pair.

Informal mellow A ride Wed morning, 6:00 AM from Tavern on the Green.  It’s quiet, beautiful, peaceful in the park nowadays.  Tomorrow will also be mild by December norms.  No one will get dropped . . . . unless you drop me - you bum.

1 The Hudson Line is the most used of the 3 Metro North rail lines by NYCC cyclists.

2 Therefore, there is a possibility personnel involved in the crash has served our members.

3 Notice the preponderance of center door cars in photos. No doubt many of us have traveled in some of these cars.

4 Conceivably, these cars going off line might affect the make up of future bike trains.

5 Surviving a crash in an automobile with seat belts and airbags at 82 mph is not a given.

6 Metro North has been very good for cycling. They have proven to be excellent partners in adding a greater dimension to our cycling experience. 

"Confessions of a Casting Director" is published by Harper Collins-- info: harpercollins.com/books/9780062292094-- available from Amazon, etc.    Congratulations Jen!

I heard we were lacking in interesting topics, so here's a general thing to talk about (talking as a member! Remember I'm not on the board yet!):

I think we should strive for conversation on the messageboard to be productive, even if the topic is arcane.

Deraillment at Spuyten Duyvil.  

No service below Croton Harmon.

Can anyone can contact the Bear Mountain to Peekskill group to change destination? And post here that you succeeded.

Has anyone ever done this ride? The Gran Fondo on April 6, not the race on April 5.

I just signed up and need to figure out of I should change out my tires for something friendlier to dirt roads. 

I assume it's hardpack and I won't need to ride a cross bike, but wanted to see if anyone here had first hand knowledge.

Hi - I am going to Santa Monica with my family in December.  I am going to get 3 or 4 days of riding (or at least try) including a weekend.  This is the first time riding in CA.  I was wondering if anyone had any information on:

1. Bike shops to rent a good road bike?

2. Routes that I could download onto my Garmin 805?  30 to 60 miles in length.  I saw there is some excellent climbing out there.

3. Any clubs that I could join their rides?  I prefer an A or B pace.

Of course any information you could provide me would be appreciated.  Thank you Dave
