Marilyn and I plan to reprise our Bronx Waterfront ride tomorrow. Here's the details...

Around and through a bunch of old and brand new parks along the Bronx/LI Sound waterfront to a picnic lunch at Orchard Beach. On the agenda are Concrete Plant Park, Soundview Park, Shorehaven Bikepath, Kane's Park, Pugsley Creek Park, Castle Hill Park, and Ferry Point Park. We'll also visit SUNY Maritime College and Pelham Bay Park.

This fun, urban ride is about 32 miles outbound. Add about a third more for our return, primarily via the Pelham Parkway and Mosolu Parkway Bike Paths.

Hey folks! I was wondering if there are members here who could lend me
their equipment for a headlight review.

Anyone interested in riding the Twin Lights Ride in Monmouth County, Sandy Hook? I've done it before, it's very beautiful, flat and fast. Distances: 30, 55, 75 and 100 miles. Registration fee until Aug 31 is $55, after that it increases to $65. There's also ferry transportation to and from Highlands where the ride starts and ends. 

The ride is organized this year as part of a community initiative to restore damages from hurricane Sandy and to provide help for residents who lost their homes.

I'm aiming for the century but depending on the weather I might shorten it to the 75 mile loop at a reasonable 18'ish pace.

I was looking for a link to that place in Brooklyn where you can build your own bamboo bike in NY. I thought there was one in Brooklyn but it looks like that studio has either stopped doing workshops (Bamboo Bike Studio) or I have the wrong name. Anyone know or can direct me to the correct place?

We need 6 volunteers who can meet at 8:30a uptown to ride to Rye to help set up for the All-Class on Sunday, August 4.

If you can help, please do two things:

1. Send your name, email and phone number.  We will be in touch with details to coordinate.

2. Sign up for the volunteer ride here: http://nycc.org/node/65040
