Is NYCC considered an official non-profit organization, or some other type of entity?  Tried looking at the bylaws online but wasn't sure.

Tomorrow's ride, B15, laps i Central Park, is cancelled due to forecast for extremely low temperatures.

Registration for the tour opens tomorrow, and I'd like to encourage people to consider doing the ride for charity (I have a particular charity in mind, but I'll get to that). As a charity rider you start at the front which makes the ride much less crowded, safer, easier and actually fun. You also get a free light breakfast and box lunch. The ride itself, ahead of the crowds, is actually an interesting, happy flat ride that makes a very good day-after-the -sig ride.

Hello All ...

I found out yesterday that I need to work on my hill climbing - quickly:)

Here is a video I wanted to share for core training:

Interestingly, when I was at Susan Nortelangelo/Lon Haldeman Desert Camp, my roommate (later a RAAM finisher) would get up each morning and do some of these exercises. She finished in 11day, 11hrs

Best,
Diane

I am looking for more trade shows or exhibitions in which to participate with my classic urban Italian brand Iride (http://irideusa.com). Lifestyle or bicycle shows. Ideally consumer focused, hopefully near NY.

What can you tell me about? Which do you like? Thanks.

... report in 24 days for the NYY... 'A' and 'B' SIGs report in 41 days for the NYCC... nice, isn't it?

I'm sure people here have witnessed or experienced a similar situation riding on the east coast.  Luv a story with a happy ending, lol.

Hi all,

Missing NYC now...if for no other reason than at least the roads are neatly plowed and salted (and, I've heard, snow-free right now!)

I just gathered together all the biggest climbs in Ulster in one place, complete with GPS.

If any of you decide you want to try any of these, let me know, I'd be happy to join you!

Due to cold weather and wind chill in the teens, we are cancelling this ride.
