Submitted by HSchiffman on Wed, 06/19/2013 - 10:19pm

As the event webpage now states, the River Terrace is closed. 

For those of you who wish to have drinks and dinner post ride, the new venue is the Patio at The Roundhouse, 2 East Main St, Beacon: http://www.roundhousebeacon.com

A manager explained that it will be casual dining on the patio. We can leave our bikes on the sidewalk within view. He said that diners have left their bikes here unlocked with no incident of theft. 

Indonesian based web site Aviasa Sport is legit?

Web search came up with the above website providing quite competetive prices.

However, I could not come up with any reviews or references on web. Address is in Indonesia. By default is pretty sketchy world region when it comes to credibility. Anyone have a similar experience?

Actually just confirmed it's a scam.

CANCELLED - first half of the longest day of the year double half century ride

Submitted by CGuzzetta on Wed, 06/19/2013 - 1:53pm

The first half of the ever so popular longest day of the year double half century ride has been CANCELLED. This traditional annual ever so very popular ride has attracted zero participants. As in none. Zippo. Zilch. Nobody. Not a single soul. I don't understand it !!

Do you bargain at Recycle-a-Bicycle?

Submitted by JFinder on Wed, 06/19/2013 - 12:23pm

In a phone conversation, Recycle-a-Bicycle quoted me a rather high price for a used bike.  Let's not get into the details since I don't have any, not even the model year. 

If we get down to the shop and like the bike, will they listen to a lower offer, or are their offers firm?

(Yes, I know they're a charitable institution, etc. etc.)

What do you do when waitlisted?

Submitted by Slugger on Tue, 06/18/2013 - 2:31pm

Just out of curiosity, what do most of you do when waitlisted? Do you make alternate plans, assuming you won't get on? Do you email the leader and ask to be allowed to come (and what response do you get to that?)? Do you decide to go do your own ride that day? Do you, *gasp*, n.o.t. r.i.d.e.???

Been in this situation a couple times, wondering what others do.
