"Eclectic Englishman Mike Sweatman just might know more about the rear gear changer than anyone who ever lived, and catalogs his knowledge—and his irrational affection—in an astounding web museum. For the first time in public, he tries to make sense of it all in this, the 100th year of the derailleur’s existence."

10 Delightful Derailleurs

Anyone riding these last two days with temps in single digits?  If so, what are you using for gloves?

The no 9W Nyack Scenic Way  B 16 ride on Saturday Jan 26th is cancelled due to 'adverse" weather conditions. We will relist the ride for the following Saturday. Stay warm.

If you have a Facebook account, I posted photos from our Jan 20th ride - Lucky 13 Lake Tappan Bradley/Tweed.

Jay Jacobson (Rockland County resident/veteran NYCC member) helped me lead the ride. We were 12 - strong, compatible riders. The temp high was 56F. I ended with 53 miles and I'm sure the New Yorkers had more.

Thanks everyone for making this a great ride. We continue the series on Feb 3rd and hoping we have Susan Rodetis (ski bunny) back with us.

Best,
Diane

Hello All,

Due to expected low temperatures, the B15 Lucky 13 for Sunday, January 27 is officially canceled.

Thank you for signing up.

Well, I am willing to ride in almost temperature but trying to do "gentle coaching" with wind chills in the teens just doesn't sound like fun so we're postponing to next weekend - 2/2 or 2/3.  I'll post the new listing later today or tomorrow.

We hope you can join us then.

Hi all,

I am thinking of using my spring break (I teach) to build early season fitness. Problem is, NYC is late February doesn't make me want to ride 6 hours a day every day.  Any thoughts on warm, pleasant parts of the country to create a DIY cycling camp?

Direct flights from NYC, cheap accomodations are welcome.

As are, of course, scenic, less trafficked and hilly roads.

Thanks for your thoughts!
