Submitted by MARIAN on Tue, 07/02/2024 - 1:29pm

Hi all,

 

It turns out I will be away the weekend of the Escape NY much to my disappointment.

I registered and can no longer use it so if anyone is looking to register, I can easily transfer my

registration to you.  Please let me know as soon as possible.

 

thank you,

Looking for buddy/ies to ride to largest hindu temple in NJ

Submitted by tristanlabelle on Sat, 06/29/2024 - 10:39pm
I'm looking for 1-3 adventure buddies for a ferry + bike ride from Manhattan to the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Jersey and bike + train ride back after visiting it. This is the largest Hindu temple in the US, making it a cultural curiosity for me (I'm not religious).
 
I'm flexible with the date (weekends though), but tentatively July 6th. The best partners have road/touring bikes, have done longer rides before, and don't mind a little improvisation if we hit any surprises.
 
We'll be riding ~50 miles/80km total, some on bike trails but mostly on smaller roads.

Central Park Laps -- Wed June 26

Submitted by Klutch27 on Tue, 06/25/2024 - 9:53am

Hey y'all,

New club member here. Was thinking about doing a chill ride tomorrow (Wed, June 26). I'm a B-18 rider, and was planning on something a bit more relaxed (~22 min lap) but open to pressing pace a little bit depending on what folks are interested in doing. Planning on 3 laps (about 18 miles). Tentative plan is to meet at Tavern on the Green at 6:25, roll out by 6:30am.

I'm new to this, so wasn't planning to run a paceline or anything but if enough folks are interested we can re-evaluate when we meet up.

Cheers!

New RidewithGPS Tutorial Video

Submitted by RSchmon on Mon, 06/24/2024 - 11:30pm

This tutorial video is in response to some recent questions we've had from members.  I cover two features on the RidewithGPS platform: how to change the start/finish point of a loop route already in your library, and how to create a point to point route.

Discord with Discord

Submitted by YK on Sat, 06/22/2024 - 8:55pm

I'm having trouble posting in Discord.  It keeps asking me to "verify and claim account", but then indicates that my email is already recognized and then doesn't give me any other options.  I don't recall my password, and there is no option to reset it.  I then went into Discord separately from the NYCC site and reset my pass word there, but still having the same issues when I try to go in to the NYCC version.  Can someone please let me know how I can access the NYCC Discord.  btw, I'm using the web version, as i refuse to download another app on my phone.  I also can't reach the Board with this question on Discord - as it won't even let me do that - which is very frustrating.

Hello - 

I'm planning a bike trip to Japan in 2025 and am looking for an affordable, but good (dependable, organized, etc.) bike tour company.  Anyone have any experience with tour companiest that cover the region?  I'm looking for an alternative to Backroads - whose price is quite expensive.  I've looked at Trek and Spice Roads, so if anyone has any experience with these companies - would really apprecite your comments.

 

Thanks -

How/where do you recycle old bike bags/cases?

Submitted by mhsimkin on Thu, 06/20/2024 - 9:11am
How/where do you recycle old bike bags/cases?  I have one that I purchased 4-years ago on sale.  Never used it.  I went to use it this past Saturday and discovered that one of the rivets was broken, making the bag unusable.
 
Hence the previous question about recommendations.
 
Anyhow, I don't want to just throw the bag out, I would rather recycle it.
 
I did reach out to the manufacturer about getting the fixed.  They sent me a link (https://evocsports.us/products/btbpro-rivet-kits) to the parts I need, however those parts are out of stock.  I emailed asking when they expect to have the parts back in stock.  The part has been discontinued, like the bag.  I have been googl
