When can we begin voting? Thank you

I am very happy to report we have a new NYCC librarian.  Welcome Julie Blackburn! 

Julie is an experienced ride leader of B & C rides, former Board member (C-Rides Coordinator), and she has created many new routes for our library mostly in the five boroughs and inland New Jersey.

As Julie comes on board, Carol Waaser, who with Hank has been our longtime co-anchor and co-creator of the great resource the library is today, will be taking a sabbatical.  Though as librarians I have no doubt we will be tapping into Carol’s unparalleled knowledge of our library, going forward new ride submissions and/or library thoughts and feedback should be directed to just Hank, Julie and me. 

Hi.

I wanted to know from the C-Riders, if there is interest in a Just Bear Mountain ride for Saturday, Nov 13th?  This was the ride we did on October 2nd: https://nycc.org/node/146534, it would be the same ride, same conditions, etc.

Thanks

Leora writes in her statement of candidacy: "my first attempts to volunteer were met with crushing rejection in the pockets of the club where young women aren't welcome." 

Huh? What? Where? How?

(I deliberately omit "By who?")

According to Westchester Parks, the South County Trail will be closed starting Monday, Oct 25 through end of day Friday, Oct 29.  The closue strarts at Woodlands Lake in Ardsley (The Great Hunger Memorial) to the thruway overpass in Irvington.

Hi. I just posted a scouting ride for this Saturday.  We will be riding the perimeter of the Bronx.  You can find the details here: https://nycc.org/node/148484 .

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

What happened to options for buying NYCC club apparel?  Seems odd to not offer such, there are dozens of places that can provide online storefronts to do so.

I see mention of a new design being considered back in the March board meeting club minutes that a new design was being considered, but why until that was accomplished was the current/older design taken down?  FWIW, no further minutes have been posted on the site since May.  

Muddy Brook Cafe had been an NYCC favorite and "Muddy Brook" was the ancient name of Pearl River

Is anyone doing the Bike MS NYC 2021 ride?

I am part of a very small group that I organized at work. If anyone in the club is doing this event maybe we could join forces.

Let me know.
