Hey fellow NYCCers!

My name is Jenny and for 7 weeks this summer I will be riding from Seattle, WA to Washington, DC with the American Lung Association. I joined NYCC this past fall when I signed up for the Big Ride because at the time I knew nothing about cycling. I just finished the C-SIG and have training hard the past few months. I am looking forward to staying active with the club long after my Big Ride is over and hopefully getting to know even more of you.

I am trying to raise $6500 for the American Lung Association before I leave for my trip on June 17th. If anyone is interested in donating you can do so here:

Who's got my Purple Extreme chain lube?

Anyone know where I can get some in the city? I've tried all the shops on the UWS, went down to Sid's and even ventured into *shudders* Paragon . . .

Anyone know of an LBS that's stocking this product?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We need to know how many people are taking the train and where they plan on boarding.  This information is necessary in order for us to be assigned a train on Friday morning.  Please email [email protected] if you plan on taking a train back or/and forth from the Berkshires.  I need:

Allegedly there’s a *very* high likelihood of rain tomorrow morning. > 50% chance of precipitation at 7:00AM according to at least three different weather services. So being the cautious, prudent, and responsible ride leader that I am, I should probably cancel Wednesday morning’s River Road ride

…on the other hand, I’ve been burned by overly-pessimistic weather forecasts enough to know that I should wake up early and look out the window before jumping to any conclusions.

next to Econo Lodge--finishing touches being put on it--will have outdoor seating & a bar--might be nice for apres ride refreshments.  The building housed  an Asian restaurant a number of years ago and has been vacant.

Mid week 3 laps ride cancelled for 5/8/13 due to rain forecast.

A friend and I are coming into Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry.  He’s agitated because he’s running late for a dance recital.  

His plan was to get up to World Trade Center PATH by 3:00.  Hoboken by 3:30.  Shower-change and PATH back over to Manhattan by 5:00. 

But it’s already 3:30 and PATH is closed to bikes for the evening rush.  

It seems to be official now that Froome will lead Team Sky on the Tour while Wiggins is supposed to make do with the Giro. There was also quite a bit of back and forth between the wives and girlfriends. I have, probably unsuccessfully, posted the link below.

I think it's been a while since there was this obvious discord between two contenders on the same team. Probably Lemond/ Hinault.

Two items of interest for those looking:

(1) Parry House

Parry House - a B&B at 73 South St in Great Barrington (in town so no car necessary) - has three rooms available as of today, when I spoke to Roberta. Great continental breakfast (but not cooked).

I've stayed in all three rooms in the past - it's a low-key, friendly, centrally-located B&B run by Roberta Parry who, if you happen to need it, will also be happy to officiate at your wedding. 

Room #1 $95 shares bathroom with #2.

Room #2 $95 shares bathroom with #1.

Room #3 $135 ahs private bathroom and balcony.
