Apologies if this should be in the marketplace forum, but does anyone know of any local shops that sell affordable, aluminum rim, hand made wheelsets? There are several online shops that offer these, but I want to see if I can buy locally.

Hello Again,

This will be my first year riding the Escape New York route.  Last year as a CSig graduate, I decided to volunteer first.  I was very excited with the registration opened, that I was on a plane on a runway and called my daughter and asked her to register for me because I wanted to be in the numbers for the discounted rate.

A week or so later my husband registed for the both of us.  Of course we didn't talk about this until months later and it was then that I learned that I have two registrations fully paid for.  I am going to give one of them to a friend of mine but wanted to know  how we can exchange the size of the Jersey.  

Hello,

This year Escape New York packet pickup and registration will take place at the Rapha store in SoHo over the course of 4 days. This will allow us to better handle the number of registrants this year and hand out all the jerseys and other Escape New York merchandise.

Dates are September 17-18, 20-21. Hours are 6:30 -9:30 pm.

The partnership is one of the many initiatives we made this year to connect with the greater cycling community, expand the New York Cycle Club outreach and grow our membership.

Is this an "ok" thing to do, or do you create some sort of risk of ingesting plastic or other toxins when you fill and freeze your bottles overnight?

Dear Members,

DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenbeg will our featured guest speaker our next club meeting on September 11th at Connolly's Pub & Restaurant, 121 W. 45th St. (3rd fl.) (bet. 6th Ave. - B'way). The Commissioner plans to make some brief opening remarks, but prefers to leave most of the time fielding your questions in what I am certain will be a lively Q & A session. So start thinking of what you would like to ask the Commissioner! The meeting will be sponsored by our friends at Lucarelli & Castaldi. The featured raffle prize will be a Montecci folding bike! Here is the schedule:

Event: Monthly club meeting

Date: September 11, 2018

Location: Connolly's Pub & Restaurant, 121 W. 45th St. (3rd fl.)(bet. 6th Away)

I noticed that the 100 mile route is the same as the 75 mile route, but with an added 25-mile loop added at the north end to go into Harriman.

Is there any reason or discouragement, if we 'think' we want to attempt the 100-miler, to register (get the wristband for) for the 100-miler, but when we get to the turn-off up to Harriman, change our minds and keep to the 75-miler if we don't then think we're up for it?

..just asking

At this point in time, all volunteer marshals riding the 50 mile route should have received an email asking that that they sign up for our scouting rides. If you have not, please contact Alan West at [email protected].  

Regardless, please sign up either this Saturday, September 1 or next Saturday, September 8 for our last two ENY 50 Mile Marshal scouting rides. Scouting the route on your own is not an option!! This year’s ENY 50 miler is a new route, so if you have volunteered to marshal and do not sign up shortly to scout either of these two rides, we will remove your name from our marshal volunteer list.

If you feel you cannot marshal this year, please contact Alan as soon as possible.

Hey,

I am planning to drive up the stage race Thursday aftnoon and I am looking for someone to split gas and keep company.  I will have room for one bike and 1 or 2 passengers.  I would also be open to riding with another group that is going up.  Txt if interested.

Hi. Newbie here. I’ve been thinking about joining my first C-ride — possibly this one on Sunday

https://nycc.org/node/89590

... that start in Manhattan but haven’t worked out the logistics of traveling with my bike from Flushing, Queens to the start in Manhattan via public transportation.

Any tips or pointers? Thanks in advance! 

I'm trying to sell what is essentially a brand new Bike Friday. Other than the message board here, where I just posted, is there anyplace else I should look to advertise? Because it's a BF, it's not an easy sell, and would probably have a very small audience.

Thanks in advance.
