If anyone from NYCC is going, email me.  I've done 3 before this year, but not since 2000.  Am part of Pork Belly Ventures group for the week.

Universal Sports "Road Cycling Season Package"... NOT.

Submitted by DLoayza on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 2:30pm

I bought the $34.99 Road Cycling Season Package which I thought was supposed to include the Tour de France. Here's an excerpt from their website:

Universal Sports has comprehensive coverage of the 2011 cycling season, including the spring classics, all three Grand Tours and the Road World Championships. With our cycling season package you can watch the following 2011 events live and on demand: Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-San Remo, Tour of the Basque Country, Giro d'Italia, Vuelta a Espana and the Road World Championships.

(italics, bold emphasis added by me)

Submitted by dortsman on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 10:45am

Hello... I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.

A small site update went live over the weekend. Here are the details...

- changed the view on /current-rides to full page width
- formatting to the ENY page & new ENY image upload
- consolidated around the (1) 'non-www' & (2) 'no trailing slash' version of the site
- more behind the scenes development stuff
- spam software installed (mollom)
- MB time formatting (see blue bar above)

I'd like to solicit suggestions for additional message board improvments. I'll kick things off with one of my own...

- Find a better WYSIWYG editor. (I typed this message in Dreamweaver)

Anyone know where to get Var tire lever? Thanks in advance!

We've got beautiful new NYCC socks and water bottles to give out to the deserving ride leaders of 2010.

Your swag can be picked up at Club meetings, including the next meeting about bike fit on July 12.

The formula:

Lead 3-5 rides = NYCC water bottle

Lead 6-11 rides = NYCC socks

Lead 12+ = NYCC ride leader jersey

 

Tonight in the Park at 7:30?

Submitted by RWechsler on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 10:11am

I plan to show up at the Boat House tonight at 7:30 for a "non-organized", "non-NYCC-sponsored" ride in the park. Any body care to join me?

Submitted by amj2142 on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 9:23am

has anyone done a ride to Mohonk Lake/ Mountain House and can recommend the best route from Manhattan? I'm going there for a retreat in September and was hoping I can cycle there. Any input is much appreciated!
