When I'm riding laps in Central Park around 8:00 p.m., I sometimes see riders at Columbus Circle assembling for a night ride. The group seems to have about ten to fifteen participants.

Does anyone know what group that is? I didn't see the ride listed on the websites of the 5BBC, the New York Cycle Club or Transportation Alternatives.

5-time Tour winner Jacques Anquetil co-wrote a book, obvously in French, in 1966, "En brülant les étapes." I just returned from reading it at the NYPL. I think I can make a fairly good guess at a translation. If you're fluent, I'd sure like your corroboration.

Will Cavendish be able to get the Green Jersey this year, or even in this stage? http://cyclistsinternational.com/?p=1976 Without his teammates Goss & Renshaw

An archtect I'm working with in Boston is planning to hike the 140 miles of the upper half of the 'Long Trail' During three long weekends in August. She did the lower half a few years ago and wants to finish it. She is trying to find 'hiking buddies' and asked if I'd post this. The dates she is considering are:

August 17-24

August 24-26

August 27-31 (tentative, may just be 29th-31st)

Given the diverse interests of this group I thought maybe someone would be interested in a little hiking  Email me if you are and I'll put you in touch.

Just a reminder - they close the south path of the bridge so folks don't gather up there to watch the fireworks.  The north path will be open.

Since 1994, Time's Up! has offered free Central Park Moonlight Rides once a month for residents and visitors to New York. I've been lucky enough to lead that ride since 1996, and I've really enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people, seeing amazing sights, and sharing incredible experiences. This Tuesday night, Time's Up!
