Here is the link to order the newly revised Central Park Laps jersey.

Anyone can order; you don't have to do laps in CP to enjoy it!

Like many cyclists I often "meet-up" at Grant's Tomb and, on many occasions, have the need/opportunity to visit the restroom up at Claremont Park.  I have always been pleased that although the fixtures are maybe a century old in there -- the "Parkies" keep the place clean and even well-stocked with TP!

Today, out of character, I "car-topped" up to GT rather than ride up, as usual, from home in Kips Bay.  I'd done a hard ride Saturday and figured to cut down the total miles for today's NYCC ride going to Haverstraw.

Those who've been on a NYCC Berkshires weekend are probably also somewhat familiar with the NY side as some of the routes head "over the mountain".

The Roe Jan Ramble (see: https://www.roejanramble.org/#welcome ) is an event ride scheduled for Sept. 21 that has no entry fee but does ask for donations to help support the Harlem Valley Rail Trail -- an amenity you may have used getting to/from the Berkshires.

This "event" started very modestly with simple "pedal-pusher" rides that has evolved into a significant regional "event".

I upgraded to the Roam, and I am selling the Bolt.

Good condition. 

Questions? Email me if interested. 

Thanks.

I'm surprised:

1) Moab isn't on the list (if you've been there, you see people on bikes all over town!)

2) Shockingly, I've been to 7 of the 10! (Despite the "critiria", 1 or 2 of them I wouldn't choose to live in. Not for biking anyway). 

The new Kids Ride Club kit is not being made by Pactimo but the manufacturer is using Pactimo's size chart.

Question: If you've bought Pactimo (NYCC) jersey/bibs/shorts, does the size you ordered comform with what you regularly order? Or for a best fit of Pactimo, would you order a size larger or a size smaller than you usually do?

Has anyone ridden the north section of Henry Hudson Trail recently? What's the condition?

NYCC Weekend in Southampton - 10/4-6.  Registration has closed.

As I left the ice cream social on Tuesday evening, I was actually thinking to myself, I haven't seen Jay in a while. I think I'll go up and visit him next week.

It just shows you, once again, that you should not put things off until it is too late.

Jays’ warmth, caring, friendliness, leadership and stories will be missed.

Heart  felt condolences go out to Joan, his children and grandchildren, all of whom I’ve known. Jay, I trust you will make it to heaven on your bike. RIP. You will be missed as a lot of members who've known you and will think about you.
