So great to see American teenager Magnus Sheffield, riding for Ineos, 19, from Pittsford New York winning Wednesday's spring semi-classic Brabantse Pijl.  Highligts here:    https://youtu.be/OolJU4pgSVE  

It was a really fun night and it was wonderful to learn how many talented people we have in this Club.

And, thank you Julie Blackburn for handling the admin work for having the show captured on video.

I posted a shot to our Facebook page here:  https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159972041717459&set=gm.1605884909798038

Saw this on FB. The man in this photo was riding a moped the wrong way and hit a cyclist in CP. This is obviously the downhill by the pool. Hope the cyclist and his bike are ok. Be careful out there. 

...I think I'm willing to make an exception after riding in a very crowded CP Tuesday late afternoon.

2 laps. 47 wannabe racers (no, no, not as a pack) bringing into the park with them that one characteristic that seems special to New Yorkers: inconsideration for others. 47 wannabe racers tearing through red lights while pedestrians were crossing or waiting to cross on their green. Gosh, how I respect their devil-may-care, screw-you, super-assertive, hyper-masculinity. Enforcement? Nah, nary a cop seen. Not that a cop would have enforced had there been one.

I am building a closet to hold two bikes. One road bike and one hybrid bike. I wonder what is the minimum closet dimension I will need?  Current size in my mind is 26 inches width, 4 feet length and 8 feet high. Will that fit two bikes?

Need to replace existing road bike tires.  Have long been a fan and user of Conti 4000s, then their replacement 5000. With all the garbagio on roads in NYC, and having repaired 2 flats on a ride yesterday, I'm thinking 'bout Conti Gatorskins.

I'd be using 700x25 clinchers, weight is about the same (the Gatorskins are about 15 grams heavier than the 5000, for a whopping 5% diff, not that I'd notice).  And I'm sure there's more "road feel" with the 5000s. 

Any comments or suggestion on either?

Thank you!

Susan

Wet roads and forecasts of intermittent rain have forced a postponement to tomorrow.

The chance of sustained rain duirng the day is too high. We're postponing to Sunday. 

Once again, there are conflicting weather forecasts for tomorrow.   So we'll wait a little longer to see if things change.  We will make the call --- one way or the other -- and post here by 10:30 PM tonight.
