Looking for fellow C riders in or around Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan

Submitted by CTaber on Mon, 05/13/2013 - 11:43am

50 yr old rider, located 43rd & 9th in Manhattan, just getting started riding (somewhat) seriously - looking for compatible company a/k/a 1 or more others to ride with to explore various routes around the city.  If anyone has something going on, I'd love to join up, or we can get our own thing going.  Clearly all the weekend C-rides on the boards are totally oversubscribed, so it seems hopeless to actually do any organized riding via NYCC!  (Once I'm a little more experienced, might start one of my own).  Anyway, I'm pretty slow, especially uphill, but I will improve!  My 4-lap time around CP is a little less than 2 hours, so put me in the 14 mph category.

My bag is looking for a ride to Berkshires. Would be very thankful if you could help it to reunite with me in there.

New Website Feature: Ride Reminders

Submitted by iforst on Mon, 05/13/2013 - 8:19am

All,

We've recently rolled out some new functionality that allows members to enable automated ride reminders 48 hours prior to a ride start. The intent is to remind enrolled riders to withdraw if they're not planning on joining so that other members may join. We encourage every member to enable the Ride Reminder email following the instructions below.

  1. Click on "Your Account" on the top right hand corner of the screen.
  2. Click on "Edit"
  3. Click on "Profile"
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and check the box next to "Receive Ride Reminders"
  5. Click on "Save"

 

Once enabled, you should receive an email approximately 48 hours prior to the ride's scheduled start time.

Hello All,

It’s a great ride and you’ll be able to enjoy Brooklyn Brewery beers and Mable’s Smoke House BBQ at the finish line!

DATE: Sunday, June 2nd

Location: Hudson River Park's Pier 84

Please email me at [email protected] if you’re interested.

Pedal & Paddle; River Road By Kayak - Piermont to Nyack RT

Submitted by nymultisport on Sat, 05/11/2013 - 9:14pm

We're planning a variation of last Summer's Westport, CT Pedal & Paddle on Saturday, August 4th.

Instead of MN to Darien, biking to Westport, paddling on LI Sound, biking to Fairfield, then MN home, we want to bike from the GWB to Piermont, launch kayaks at the Gazebo, paddle up-river under the Tappan Zee Bridge (awesome,) lunch at Nyack Town Park (maybe have Runcible send sandwiches down to the water side,) then paddle and pedal back to the city. Take it from me, those lovely homes we see when riding on River Road are even more spectacular from the Hudson side.

If enough members want to participate, we'll hire an outfitter, and put this together as an official A/B/C ride. Let us know.
