Is there any interest for a "C" ride from Brewster to the Bronx (50 miles), or from the Bronx to Croton (38 miles) for this coming Friday, Nov 24th?

I'm willing to lead.

If Brewster, the ride will need to start early as we have to be on the 7:50am train out of Grand Central to Brewster. We will need to ride fast 13/14 mph as we will have to make it back before Sundown.  This also means we might only do two stops instead of 3, probably around the 17 and 36 mile points, and they will be short around 15 minutes of less.

If Croton, the ride would start at 9am from the #1 terminus at W242 and Broadway. The pit stops will be around the 14 and 26 mile points.  We could ride a little slower 12/13 mph as this is shorter trip.

I am looking for a few good men and women...actually the more, the shorter the shifts.  You would just need to sign in members and give out the drink tickets.  Volunteers get the usually for their service.  A much appreciated Thank You!

I presume in response to a recent accident downtown, the police were instructed to ticket cyclists.  I was stopped and received a red light ticket.  I did not give them my license, but gave them my NYC ID card.  Not that I intend to, but what happens if I default (dont plead or show up in court)?  I know if you are driving and you default a moving violation ticket, your driver's license can be suspended and you can get arrested if caught driving on suspended license.  What is the recourse with a bicycle - particularly if the ticket doesn't have your license number?  Can they still suspend your driver's license? Arrest you somehow?

On the heels of NYCC becoming members of Transportation Alternatives, please join us this Sunday for a ride to World Remembrance Day for traffic victims at City Hall. This international event has become an important day for cycling advocates to speak out against traffic violence and push for safer streets. We wil first ride to Pier 40 and meet up with TA's Manhattan Committee at 11:00 and honor the victims of the Greenway terrorist attack. We will then proceed to City Hall for the mass event that begins at noon. The ride begins at 10:00 at the Charles Dana Center in Central Park near the Lenox Ave & Central Park North entrance. 

Lotta rain coming down. Not that there were actual signups for the late-breaking ride to begin with. :) Stay dry!

As of Wednesday the previously MILLED section is now fully PAVED !!! Of course the seam is showing in a few places and will probably need repatching by December 15th !!!

the paving is smooth from curb to curb; slightly bumpy just before 102 cut-off-going over bridge-section of 40-50 feet not newly paved(duh??)
