The thought of 30 riders, plowing through miles of snow or glaze--however deep--atop downed branches and wet leaves, leaves something to be desired. Instead, you're invited to meet the leaders at 9:00AM at Zaros (concourse at Penn Station) for breakfast, followed by a walk on the High Line, then continuing downtown. Perhaps lunch at Juniors in Brooklyn. Everyone welcome, signed-up for the ride or not... just show up before we depart Zaros at 9:30.

Dr. James Andrews, a widely known sports medicine orthopedist in Gulf Breeze, Fla., wanted to test his suspicion that M.R.I.’s, the scans given to almost every injured athlete or casual exerciser, might be a bit misleading. So he scanned the shoulders of 31 perfectly healthy professional baseball pitchers.

OK, We give in. This forecase isn't changing. Rain. Snow. Wind. Ride canceled. Sleep in and stay dry.

To those signed up for the A Ride Leader Training series, we will not be riding tomorrow.

Bob and I will reschedule as schedules permit.

Needless to say, RIDE CANCELLED.  Road are bad; worse up in lower Hudson valley.  Hope we can do this next year!  (My bike is all decorated, too...)

Tomorrow's Fall Foliage Ride #3 to Bedford/Stamford is cancelled.  Every weather forecast I've looked at for tomorrow predicts bleak cycling conditions.  I'm not keen on cancelling the night before the ride, but conditions would have to change drastically between now and tomorrow morning to have a rideable day. 

What can I say, it's been a tough weather for cycling all year long.  You can now sleep in or stay up late watching all of World Series game 7, even if it's a 19 inning game!

Many thanks to all who helped out with this year's series - especially the leaders who scouted rides ahead of time.  This series has become too big for me to manage it on my own.

NYCC Friends,
I need your help to make our Nov. 10 dinner rally for bike advocacy in Bronxville a success.
    We’ve cut the price to $25 for an evening that includes micro-brewed ale from our sponsor, Captain Lawrence, dinner by Ciao, and a performance by singer Champian Fulton. You’ll hear about the nascent campaign to preserve the old Tappan Zee Bridge, turning it into the three-mile long Tappan Zee Park that would feature a world-class destination for cyclists, runners, skateboarders, inline skaters, and pedestrians.  Think about that Two Bridges Ride!

Dear NYCClub members,

There's a new threat in the US Sentate to cut federal funds that go to biking infrastructure and you must act RIGHT NOW if you wish to tell Senators Schumer and Gillebrand (or any other US Senators) to vote against it.

The attack comes in an amendment proposed by Senator Rand Paul (KY) that would redirect all funding for Transportation Enhancements to bridge repairs. Mr. Paul's amendment is set for a Senate vote this Tuesday, Nov. 1.
