Not to name names, but a very popular regional ride producer is suggesting, via their very early presale for next year, that the cost of their extremely popular ride is going to be $150, plus fees, and then return transportation on top of that. 

There is an amazing sale, 60% off, on Assos, Capo apparel (and other top brands), in addition to other high end cycling merchandise, at Signature Cycles Manhattan, 80 West End Ave. (2nd fl.), entrance on W.64th St. No phone orders accepted. The sale continues until 10/2. You will probably never see Assos apparel on sale for 60% off. (This means that $200. gorgeous Assos jerseys are selling for $80.00). Mens and Womens sizes available. Signature Cycles has to make room for new incoming fall merchandise. Check out their web site at www.signaturecycles.com. 212-706-0025.

Today is the last day to sign up online for this ride. It is $65.00 online and $80.00 on the day.

I've never done the ride and am not sure that I will do it this year, BUT it is always much more fun to ride with others from the NYCC. I know some A Riders are going; I am a C+/B- rider (anywhere up to B16, probably could do B17).

Is anybody else who is more or less my level planning to go? Please let me know, either responding here or to me at [email protected].

Thanks!

I have reviewed many.  Those in the link below work best to reflect light.  Plus they can be customize for nycc.  Keep riders safe.  Do not let them ride with inferior reflective vests like I saw in the ENY event photos.

I have used this vest for the last 8 months, or 4,000 pre-dawn miles.  The vest is excellent.

Has anyone ever heard of the above.

I've just been given a track bike that was custom made for the previous owner. It's a lugged Columbus polished stainless steel frame that dates I believe from the seventies.

The biggest changes in human history all began a small first step... I sent Herb's link to a friend who teaches high school driver's ed... he thought it was a great idea, and will try to teach it to the kids he has in his class...

I'll bet that I'm not the only club member who is involved in, has kids in, teaches in, or just has connections with, area high schools... and if you think it's not worth it; in 1973 the first thing I learned in driver's ed was to put on my seat belt... this was well before seat belt laws were even a glimmer in a legislator's eye... forty years later, the first thing I do when I get in a car is put my seat belt on...

Yeah, things are ALWAYS better by bike ;)
