Hi,

Due to 11th hour news, since the NYC Marathon race is canceled, so is our NYC Marathon bike ride. Sorry, esp. to our record 60+ folks who registerd. Let's look forward to 2013.

See you on the road,
Alfredo Garcia, Basil Ashmore, Jesse Brown & Rodney Millard

Interesting to read about this.  Wasnt aware there was a statute of limitations with regard to Lance (moans) and doping in general.  

Id be curious to hear opinions on this.  From 1999 to 2004, Lance would retain titles, but 2005 and on would be nulled?

We do not need to add a person to the board for merchandise handling. While indeed we need someone to take that on, we do not need to expand the board. There should be coordinators under board members. Merchandise can be a function of the treasurer's office and someone can handle that for Treasurer without having to also deal with all the other board business as well.

Please join us at the next NYCC meeting on November 13th at Annie Moore's Resaurant and Pub, 50 E. 43rd St., and receive a gorgeous FREE "vintage" NYCC water bottle for the first dinner purchasers (while the supply lasts). You cannot purchase dinners prior to the meeting. This vintage water bottle matches the beautiful red/white/blue NYCC jersey with the royal blue image of the Statue of Liberty. Oh yes....

The local running clubs like the NY Flyers (Go FLyers!) and other local athletic organizations are getting organized to help.  Here's some info. below.  Please continue to post opportunities below.

We regret the NYC Marathon (and consequently the NYC Marathon Ride and all pick-up rides to start) have been cancelled.

----------------

This thread is dedicated to organizing PICK-UP rides to start of NYC Marathon ride.

On behalf of Alfredo, myself and other leaders..........while our thoughts go out to those who are suffering at the hands of Sandy, we are not entering any debates on this thread about whether or not NYC Marathon and/or this ride should take place.

maybe this information has been posted before but I can't find it.  can I use a folding bike for the C SIG?  Thanks.

Any riders interested in meeting in front of Whole Foods at Union Square at 5:00am to ride to Bay Ridge for NYC Marathon Ride this Sunday?   C 11/12. [email protected]; 917-291-0484. Coming from the UWS. Could meet a subgroup at Columbus Circle at Statue of Columbus at 4:30am.

We should vote against this proposition, since it has just showed up on the ballot with no prior explanation or discussion.  What will its consequences be?  Who will benefit?  Who will be hurt or disappointed?

Does this proposition target a specific problem that for some reason cannot be mentioned publicly?

Why no more junior members?  What does this mean for under-18's coming on club rides with their member-parents?  What does this mean for athletic 17-year-old NYCC members coming on the Newcomers Ride?

I will be glad to change my opinion if someone explains why this is good for all members of the club.
