B vs C rides

Submitted by jazzuela on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 12:05pm

Can anyone explain the general difference between C and B rides in a little more detail than 'leisurely' and 'moderate'? I did look around the nycc site for more information, but perhpas I'm not lookign where I should be. It seems like the descriptions would refer more to speed, which should be indicated by the number listed with the letter, right? So is a B16 hillier or more technical than a C16? Thanks in advance for any clarification!

Clif Bars, Shot Gel, and Shot Bloks at Fairway

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 2:59am

FYI:

Fairway sells Clif Bars (almost every variety) for $0.99 each. Clif Shot Gel is also $0.99 per packet, while Shot Bloks cost $1.69. These are regular prices, not promotional.

It's not really a savings vs ordering online from the right places, but these prices are a huge discount from other local outlets. Some bodegas carry Clif Bars for $2.25; Toga is selling Shot Bloks for close to $3. 

On the UWS original store, they're upstairs in the organic/healthy foods store (entrance/staircase upstairs is near the regular store checkout). In Red Hook, the Clif stuff is on a large rack lining a passageway (to the healthy foods section) directly across from the beef/pork butcher counter.

Saddles?

I need to purchase a road nike saddle and seatpost for the missus before next Sunday.  Where would folks advise us to shop in Manhattan. I don't think I'll have time to leave the city. Thanks.

For Sale: Kestrel Talon 52 cm Carbon Frame Dura Ace - $1095 (Upper West Side)

Submitted by MDonikian on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 1:02pm

Hi all,

I'm looking to selling my Kestrel Talon before I head out to Seattle in the coming weeks.  This bike has raced CRCA races, done the A-SIG Classic (twice), and done the Berkshires a couple times... a true NYCC bike... fitting that it should stay in NY and in the hands of a NYCC rider.

I have the posting on craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/2356506518.html

I will accept any serious offer.

Rooms available in Great Barrington

Submitted by MLoftis on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 12:09am

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the NYCC weekend in the Berkshires.  As a result, we had to cancel our reservations at Parry House in Great Barrington.  This is a small B&B within walking distance of downtown Great Barrington.  There are two rooms available.
