Lunch options in Greenwich/Stamford?

Submitted by Slugger on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 7:02pm

Any suggestions for lunch stops along the Post Road in Greenwich or Stamford? A bit further east would be fine too, but not too far.

Thanks!

Seeking farmers' market destinations for SUMMER!

Submitted by CWood on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 1:02pm

I'm looking for farmers' markets in the region that would make a good destination for a summer outing. Particularly around northern NJ, lower NYS.

Anyone have one to recommend, or can suggest a way to search for them?

I'd like to know where to go by bike.

And also, to go with friends with a car who'd like to picnic and maybe do an easy bike ride nearby.

I know the Blue Hill Farm in Pocantico has an extraordinary cafe and beautiful grounds to explore.

Suggestions appreciated!

This Sunday: Small Grass Roots Charity Ride

Tour de Cause
June 3, 2012


A bike ride and small grassroots effort to raise money for the women and their families fighting breast cancer.

In 2012, I have committed myself to raising $14,060 for Sharsheret to honor Tammy Bryk, a beloved client and friend who told me about this fantastic organization supporting young Jewish women and their families who are facing breast cancer.

Through a series of fundraisers, that is how I am going to reach my goal. Please join me for a special bike ride organized with my friend Rod Ciardullo.

Thank you,
Joel Matalon

Hi everyone!  So today I learned that while riding fast is awesome...crashing while going fast really sucks!

fractured pelvis and body armor

Submitted by NWeissman on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 7:49am

Had a discussion with an NYCC member returning to cycling after a fractured pelvis.  They were by advised another recovering cyclist to wear a double chamois as added protection.  So I thought, why not get serious and recommended a sissixone "sub short":

I own four pair and rotate them.  The manufacturer currently has only men's small in stock, but you could order through your LBS and there are a number of online resellers:

Anyone have strong preferences for tubes? I'd like to order a box as my current stock is running low.
