Dear fellow Cyclists,

I will be visiting NCY June 7th-23rd and would really like to fit a ride in. I will not have a bike with me, so I am looking for recommendations for where I can rent a road bike. I can already see a number of rides I could join...the newcomers' one on Sat 9th being ideal - but not sure if I can sort a bike for 8:45am (unless anyone knows a shop open early?).

I'll be bringing all the rest of my kit with me, just need the bike and someone to ride with :-)

Regards,

Matthew Anthony

Tenafly Bicycle Workshop has some gravel rides:

Check their calendar for MB rides too:

I know the GFNY is not bike racing; nevertheless, did anyone from the NYCC racing team ride it? (I eschew "compete.") If so, who and how did they do? I know of two club members in their 60s who rode it. Who else did and how did you do?

Sorry, there is a significant threat of thunderstorms in early afternoon.  We will reschedule in June or July.

I have rented a car, a sweet MINI Cooper Countryman, that can accomodate 3 bikes, includes mine and 3 passengers comfortably plus luggage. I would like to share the cost of the car rental, gas, etc., round trip from NYC to Sheffield. Estimate is $100 per person if we are 3, $75 if we are 4. Expect to leave on Friday around 2, and return on Monday...time to be determined.

Please contact me if you are interested or have any questions. Email, text or phone okay.
