Cue Sheet Holder . . .

Submitted by PStorey on Tue, 10/08/2013 - 4:06pm

Does anyone know (I mean know) of a bike shop that sells those little cue sheet clamp-on-a-velcro-strap thingies.  In the past, I've gotten new ones at the SIG orientation, but that's a bit far off. My last one blew away crossing 9W and Palisade at the end of ENY, and I wasn't really in the mood to go back for it.

Thanks in advance,

Peter Storey

Bragging alert (and cross post from *gasp* a runner!)

Submitted by ERayvid on Mon, 10/07/2013 - 10:39am

After seven years of cycling and running, I pitched myself to Runner's World. While they wouldn't let me mention the NYCC and SIG program by name, I credit the program (and one George Arcarola, leader extrodinnaire) for helping shape the person the publication is featuring:
