WANTED: your input on city island fried seafood and ice cream ride

Submitted by cschang on Wed, 07/12/2023 - 12:11am

following the success of the jersey shore sandwich/brewery/ice cream ride, i'm keen to scout city island and surroundings to come up with a short, pretty route that's also somewhat recovery ride-ish and accessible to all types of riders.

Location to do FTP Test

Submitted by mhsimkin on Tue, 07/11/2023 - 10:05am

Hi:

I'm looking for someplace to do a 2x10 FTP Test. 

I have been using the Bear Mtn Climb, from the traffic circle by the lodge/carousel to the tower (once a year as my test), not sure that will be available in the near term.  I'm in the NW BX, so places in Brooklyn/Queens are doable, but probably an all day trip. (ex: Floyd Bennet Field).

Places in Bergen, Westchester, and lower Rockland County are preferred.

Thanks.

Website request: Get signed-up rides in Calendar

Submitted by meghprkh on Sun, 07/09/2023 - 4:12pm

Hi all,

New-ish member doubt: Is there a way to get the rides you sign up for in Google Calendar automatically?

Afaik two common ways to do this are:
- An ics link linked to your account that tells you rides you signed up for
- Sending a calendar event attachment thing in the email of the signed up for ride email

Apologies if this thing already exists somewhere and I have been unable to find it

Regards,
Megh

Hey- I have seen NYCCers up there before. Lets get together for a short ride. I will have my CRX bike with flat pedals.

For those wondering what this is, the Greyfox Bluegrass Festival is in Oak Hill NY July 13,14,15, 16. This is a camping event.

Lets meetup, email me and we will work out the details.

Taking a bike on Amtrak

Submitted by LaurieT on Wed, 07/05/2023 - 2:11pm
Has anyone done this? Do you have to bring anything to secure your bike and do you need a lock? I understand you have to make a reservation in advance and remove the front wheel but that's all I know. Thanks! Also any intel on elevators at moynihan station would be helpful.

New Paltz registration closes 7/20.

650B 47mm or 700C 38mm?

Submitted by Marc on Sun, 07/02/2023 - 6:47pm
For NYCC rides in the B Dirty Adventure category and other dirt club rides, what would be a better wheel and tire combination: 650B 47mm or 700C 38mm?
 
To ask the same question in a different way, given that these two bikes are the same except for the wheels and tires, which would you recommend for a beginner to NYCC dirt rides?
