I was looking through Bob Cowin's predictably wonderful pictures of the Club's holiday party.  This one is my favorite;

Jody and I wish the New York Cycle Club and it's family friends and loved ones a happy holiday season and great new 2012 coming up.

And beyond.

There is a slight chance of rain tomorrow morning at about 4-5 am. If the road is wet I am not riding.

I will post go/no go by 5:15 am Tuesday morning - but don't tell Christy if we dont ride since he posted a competing ride...

Now,(sunday it was 23 degrees)that winter is upon us; running can be used to supplement biking.  It is warmer to run(less wind effect, and you get warmer faster and easier).  If you start and have never been a runner start with 2 days a week aiming for 3 miles.(walk some if need to).  Do this for 2 weeks then go to 2 days and 4 miles per time..2 weeks later jump up to 5 miles per run and stay twice a week.  If you carry these 2 days a week till either March 1st; or mid march; at that point you usually can start to ride more as the weather "thinks" about warming up.  These 2 days a week can supplement any indoor training you do; as well as your weekend rides.  Usually, these 2 days of running will NOT lead to injuries(not enough  to hurt

Late season "A" paced laps (that means A 12 – ha, ha, ha, ha)  in Central Park tomorrow morning.  If interested, meet at TOG at 6:00 AM.  Unless a major calamity happens – like my alarm clock gets smashed before then – I will be there.  

Anyone know of dates for the evaluation ride and start of the C-SIG? I need to do some travel planning for early to mid March.

Thanks in advance.

If you'd like to join a small group ride to Dobby's Ferry/Irvington from Washinton Heights on December 25th - 10 a.m. (Yes, that's Christmas morning). B-17 level.  Please let me know if you're interested.  Thanks.
