I am logged in, get the friendly hi so-and-so, welcome back message but try to click on the "more" button next to the events schedule.  i get a message back saying that i am denied access to this section.  is there another class of super-duper membership that i have yet to achieve that prevents me from using the "more" function?  am i being denied access because i live in new jersey?  or, is there perhaps a more nefarious reason?  and, btw, why is it we show dates from 2010?  does this mean i cannot access the schedule because i do not have a time machine?

In case you were wondering, Brigitte's Morning lap ride Thursday morning is cancelled.

I just read the posting that the park will be closed from noon Wednesday to noon Thursday. If that is truly the case, then we can't ride Thursday morning. The forecast for Thursday morning is rain, so we will probably have to cancel anyway.

Barring a major change in either weather or park closing, the ride is cancelled.

The NYC Parks Commissioner has announced that due to the anticipated storm approaching the New York area, Central Park, including all playgrounds and the Drives, will be closing from Wednesday, November 7 at noon until Thursday, November 8 at noon. The Commissioner states that this action is being taken to keep Park patrons safe during the storm.

All NYC Parks and Beaches will be closed starting at noon on Wednesday (11/7) until noon on Thursday (11/8) because of the upcoming storm. All activities in the Park during those times (greenmarket, tennis, Volunteer Corps) are cancelled.

Is it rideable this weekend? From say, Queens, taking the train back?

I'm particularly concerned about flooded/sandy roads.

Received this email from the race director of Staten Island Cyclocross. This was to be my first 'cross race, and while I'm disappointed, it is amazing what they are doing for and with the community. The Parks Dept worked like crazy to get the park ready. Read on for options to volunteer/donate this weekend (I've edited out some parts, like how we can donate our race fees to recovery).

Due to lack of people signing up, this morning's B16  "Morning laps in Central Park" ride is cancelled.

Today was our "court" date.  Three of the 7 people ticketed for not fully stopping at a stop sign showed up (2 had already settled, 2 others deferred until December) at the firehouse on Depot Place at 5:00 p.m.
