BE AWARE! Fall Foliage Transit Changes
All,
Be aware that MTA has weekend service planned on the #4 train and there will be no service past 161 St (Yankee Stadium.) See http://mta.info/weekender/lineview.html?r=4 for more details
The ride start location HAS NOT changed. We will still be leaving from Woodlawn Ave. Options to get there are as follows:
Jay's LoHud B ride resched for Monday Oct 14 (holiday for some)

To the Woman with the Dog Off Leash in Central Park Last Night...
You watched as your unleashed dog caused a cyclist to go down and get seriously hurt. Your response was to grab your dog and run away while others came to the riders aid. Very compassionate! ...I think he broke his wrist and collar bone!

New A20/21 Ride Added for Saturday 10/12 "Loose Knot...Hills of Nyack"
It may take a bit before the ride is approved and online. If you are looking for lots of climbing without spending all day on the bike, come join us! -Rod C.
Jersey competition questions - Voting closes October 21?
One of the three finalists appears to be an old NYCC jersey design, from 1996: http://nycc.org/about-us/nycc-jersey-archives
If that was the club jersey then, might members be permitted to vote for other "retro" jerseys, or "no new jersey design"?
If other designs submitted were "fabulous" - one that I saw was - why is it true that "only three could be chosen for the entire club to vote on"?
Finally, what is the deadline for voting?
Thanks.
Careful if you're riding up River Road / Henry Hudson Drive
Stay away today:
"Henry Hudson Drive CLOSED from Alpine Hill to Dyckman Hill for down trees." via @ParkwayPolice on Twitter
(thing I just learned: "Dyckman Hill" is the road we can't ride on bicycles at Englewood Cliffs)
As for the upcoming weekend, check this account on Twitter for updates. And it pays to be careful in general & keep your speed moderated enough to stop in time around a blind corner, for holes/branches/obstructions/etc.
A sweet recollection of youth
From the obituary of NY Giants-Dodgers-Braves-Cubs outfielder Andy Pafko:
Pafko was astounded to learn that one of his 1952 Topps trading cards had sold for $83,870 at an auction in Washington. The card, found by a collector in an unopened pack for which he paid $1,000, according to Sports Collectors Digest, was in mint condition.
