Kudos to Neile Weissman
I would like to acknowledge Neile for all he does for the club, it’s members and cyclists in general. His rides are always on point with foodie style lunch stops often with our orders called in advance to minimize any waiting time. That said it’s the little things he does that makes us lucky to have him as a fellow rider. I am in his R STS group this season and I have seen him give sunglass mirrors and bungie cords to people and two weeks ago when someone was way off the back Neile waited for her and they rode together enabling her to finish the route.
Sonoma CA Cycling
Hi all,
I'm going to Sonoma in mid April as part of a bachelor trip and renting a few road bikes to keep up the mileage. Any suggestions on cycling routes to take? Any Map my Ride profiles would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Membership Billing Profiles
After just renewing club membership, noticed something a bit bothersome IMO on my account's billing information page.
Board Minutes?
Have there been any meetings/minutes since Nov?

Tappan (Cuomo) Bridge access points
I went searching for access to the new bridge bike (shared use) lane. While I've heard about the challenges (dismount necessary and limited hours), I wanted to give it a try.
Couldn't find a way to get on it (on the Nyack side). Is the lane open? Anyone been on it or know where the entry points are (on either side)?

Specialized Roubaix Future Shock - Gimmick or real deal? - feedback requested
I'm looking to replace my main road bike, which is a 2007 Specialized Roubaix Pro. I've been very happy with it, but the wheels are on their last legs and it seems like the right time to replace it. I'd like to upgrade with a great "new" bike for the next however many years of riding. I don't race, I'm a big guy (6'4" and @ 230 lbs) and I like the geometry of the Roubaix- what the industry calls Endurance or Sportive. I'll probably spend $2K-$4K.
Anyone that rides a 2017 or 2018 Roubaix with the Future Shock an CG-R seatpost, I'd like to hear from you about this new technology and the overall ride it produces.
Thanks,
Joel
