Join us! For the 9th year in a row Team Patch and team NYCC will be leading an "A" ride for Escape New York. All strong NYCC riders are welcome; not just those that are interested in racing next year. We will meet at around 6:45 AM at Sakura park and congregate right outside on the fence just south of the entrance, at 7:15 we ride, you will spot us easily by our green patch jersey and the blue and orange NYCC kits. The pace will be steady and we will try to keep everyone together. It may get a bit more selective on the longer climbs, but we always regroup at the top. We’ll stop for all mechanicals, etc.

  Escape the Price Increase!  

    Goes up $10 on Sep 16!     

Anybody is welcomed to join me on this ride. I have done it a few times before, and have a great riding plan. We start early, be on line by 5:40 for a 6:00 100 mile start. You dont have to go the 100 if you dont want to, just skip the Bronx Loop at the end and it will be a 80 mile ride. Getting out early and in front means that there will be no lines at the rest stops and the streets will be pretty clear.

I am a quick B rider with the goal to finish ASAP. We will try to stay together to the 1st rest stop, then break up into smaller groups as necessary.

Here is my route from 2014

Weather.  Sleep in.  

Can anyone recommend a simple,  not too expensive rack that would work on a typical rental car?

Thanks.

Does anybody out there know good biking routes near Ithaca, NY? An ideal route would be 70-80 miles with 3500-4000ft of climbing.

Medium size pothole in area which is dark most of the time  on extreme right(where bikes go!) of northbound lane.  I reported the situation to Rockland County's Highway Dept which apparently has jurisdiction

Looking for recommendations on shops in Portland OR where I can rent a road bike.

Looking for best value for a week long rental. Don't care if it's not a fancy bike shop!
