Yes, I know, I must have a death wish, but a NYCC friend and I just registered for this 7.6-mile insanity.  I won’t disclose his name.  I will leave that to him.  Saturday, August 20, rain date Sunday, August 21, hurricane/tornado date TBD.  I use an Ultegra 6800 34 x 34...a 1:1 ratio.  If I wanted to go negative, as the pitch at the top is 22%, and I am VERY old (will almost be 68 for the event?!)…what might I do?  Can I put some kind of mountain bike giant cassette in the back?  How big a cassette could a long cage derailleur accommodate?

Western Highway between Blauvelt and West Nyack was closed post-Ida last fall. Presently, Google is showing it as closed for cars but not for bikes. Does anyone know if it is OK for bikes now?

Correct me if i am wrong, but I believe I see freewheel hubs.

Peter Storey and I have just posted a C-14 ride to New Bridge Landing for this coming Sunday, February 27. The ride is especially suitable for new members but all are welcome. 

New Bridge Landing was an important place to cross the Hackensack River during the American Revolution. The "New Bridge" was erected in about 1887.

I’m Chloe, a current senior at Cornell studying fiber science. I found your email from the League of American Bicyclists and wanted to reach out. Some students and I are interested in developing electronic biking gear that would increase the safety and visibility of user in high traffic areas and at night under the name BikeBright.

Over the years, I've heard about this ride many times from various club members and my wife and I are finally thinking of giving it a try. But we're not into camping. Any thoughts or suggestions?
