Why am I not able to open personal contacts to me via this website? When I follow the link to the site I get "access denied." Yet I have checked what appears to be open settings on my profile.

Is this me, a bug, or a "feature"?

Eisenhower Park located in East Meadow, Long island will host super cyclocross races this Saturday and Sunday.  Spectators are welcome. There was a club ride to the races last year and everyone seemed to enjoy the festivities and atmosphere.

There's been some discussion of rides (or the lack thereof) for people in Bk/Queens. Well, I hereby call attention to this Saturday's A19 ride led by George, the undisputed King of Outerborough Ride Listings: http://nycc.org/ride-detail/54337

I'm gonna ride to the start, leaving the Court/Degraw area at ~7:45. If any South Brooklyn people want to ride along, lemme know.

On his 9th attempt, 58-year-old Michael Secrest set a new indoor 100-mile world record on October 15.

Secrest (pictured in a photo by Alan Clift in pursuit of the record) covered the 100 miles (161 km) on the Home Depot Center Velodrome track in 3 hours, 46 minutes, 16 seconds -- at 26.52 mph (42.68 kph).

I've remained silent these past number of months about the Vickers case even as I have been in fairly regular contact with the assistant district attorney prosecuting Priya Nanda, Max's killer. I haven't posted because there was nothing of substance to report: only delays—adjournments, postponements, cancellations, meetings and negotiations that failed to produce an agreement. Now, all the scheduling conferences and evidentiary hearings are over. Finally.

Still too wet in the park

I have just signed up for some free maintenence classes (Class 02: Brake and their Adjustments/Class 03: Drivetrains/Class 04: Bearings and Wheel Truing) in early to mid-December at 718c. Seems to be plenty of room for other NYCCers to join me, if they care to. I'd love to see some familiar faces from the SIG, in particular.

The forecast for tomorrow moring is "iffy." The ride will be cancelled if it is raining at 5:30 AM or the roads are soaked from previous rain.

I just came across this article in The Real Deal (real estate magazine) - some may find it interesting.

(Actually it seems to be an article (in TRD) about an article (in NY Times) so apologies if this is duplication).
