It wasn’t because of the years and years Jerry has served the membership  as an officer of the Club that qualified him for a Lifetime Membership Award.  Wasn’t because of the countless rides he has led.  And certainly not because he grinded through the process getting the Club designated a 501c3.  Not even for the times he protected the club working with our insurance company.  None of any of that was the winning ticket.  The singular reason Jerry was awarded a Lifetime Membership in the New York Cycle Club is because year in and year out he has so enriched the lives of so many Club members.

Heartfelt congratulations, Jerry.

And a very BIG thank you.

Please join Los Deliverista Unidos' vigil for Salvador Navarete Flores tonight at 5 pm First Avenue and E. 75 Street, Manhattan. As many people reading this message know "Chavita" was killed at this spot when a truck driver working for Fresh Direct used the bike lane and side traffic lane to make deliveries. Peace to Salvador! Safe streets for New York.

New-ish to winter riding (and to bibs)--which is better? Bibs, 3/4-length or full, with chamois; or without, using your '3-season' shorts underneath? Thanks.

This weekend I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I am not sure how to go about getting a replacement for the bike(it was trashed). The cops came to the hospital to get my side of the story, but the only thing they asked was my name and address. They said that they already talked to the driver and were not there to assign fault. I was told that I should get a copy of the accident report in 3 days, but not sure how to proceed. 

Any advice would be appropriated. Thanks in advance.

I can't make the holiday party tomorrow as I'm out sick.  My loss is your gain!

I don't know how the transferability works, but feel free to claim under my name:

Michael LaMarca

Seasons Greetings!

I rode the SCT from VCP all the way to Elmsford and back yesterday. 

The good.  Between House of Sports in Ardsley and Elmsford is nice, new, smooth, and paved.

The construction on the SCT is now starts about 600 feet north of Lawrence Street, right after crossing the abandoned road, and continues to the bridge over the river at the House of Sports.  When I rode it yesterday there was a 0.10 mile that was dirt!  After the dirt, there was hard pack up to the House of Sports.

The hard pack was fine to ride and will be rideable with road tires.  The dirt might be a bit more difficult, especially after a rain.

Remember Mr. Big from "Sex and the City"? He (fictionally) dies from a heart attack after working out on a Peloton.

Thanks

Returning from a day long ride to catch the 3:26 train at Peekskill yesterday, 5 of us took 202/6, aka Anthony's Nose rather than the longer, more remote alternative of South Mountain Pass.
