The ride description had temporarily disppeared from the listing becuase it's awaiting re-approval after a revision. (if you haven't signed up, check back in a short while on the ride listing again)

Here's the skinny:

Several of us are a bit damaged from our 2017 riding, so instead of hiking/climbing Diamond Mountain, we're substituting a walk from the Bronx to Manhattan.

The group will depart promptly at 9:30am from the corner of 149th St and Grand Concourse--#2, 4, or 5 train (take 2-3rd car from the front to the 149th/Grand Concourse stop.) We'll walk to Filtered Coffee (under the 3rd Ave Bridge,) across some of the lower--not south--Bronx, and the Randalls Island Connector to Manhattan.

About 3-5 miles total, with many subway and bus bails. Please contact Marilyn or Ken if you plan to attend.

I’m in the market for wheels. What do people like? Thinking of American Classic Victory 30s or Sprint 350s.  Any opinions? Are the Sprints worth the extra $$?  Other suggestions, especially anything less $$ but equal or almost in quality?  And, is tubeless the way to go these days?o

Each month I post a Presdident's Message on the carousel on the main page of the Club website.  Some of those messages are better than others. 

This month's President's Message - you reply with  what you are thankful for -

President's Message;

Giving bicycle thanks . . . .

It’s that time of year – when we reflect upon our bounty – and give thanks for our riches.  I have lots of good fortune in my life, I have been blessed.  In this venue, my thoughts of thanks are about the New York Cycle Club.

It's looking like rain for tomorrow morning, so B18 Laps are cancelled. 

Bunbury will be opened until 1 PM on Thursday 

Any recommendations for best best shop or mechanic you had your best fittin experience at?  Im open to NYC and Brooklyn.

Thanks!

Im pretty new to the cycling sport and have recently purchased my first road bike and even did my first century.  But its time I invest in some good quality cycling shoes.

Where in NYC should I go that has a good selection to try on and compare?

If there is a rider in the club who is ever considerate and responsible a rider it is Jerry Ross.

Sunday afternoon a pedestrian steps out from between parked cards. Predictably, the cop in the scene starts to write it up as "cyclist hits pedestrian" because, you know, we are always, always, always riding into buses, garbage and other trucks, taxis, cars...and pedestrians. That's just our nature, isn't it...well, according to the police.

Result: Ped is fine. Jerry isn't. Shattered hip socket. Surgery Monday at St. Luke's.
