"But Mr. McCabe, a triathlete known for biking 35 miles to work from Virginia...."

Q: Is that 35 miles one way or r/t? Times says "to." Maybe he loads his bike into a limo for the ride home. Still, all in all, impressive.

Club Meeting on Tuesday - B SIG Graduation - All are welcome!

Submitted by EWeiss on Sat, 05/13/2017 - 2:02pm

Dear Members,

C SIG is postponed until Sunday

Submitted by PHofherr on Fri, 05/12/2017 - 7:44pm

The C SIG is postponed until Sunday due to a storm tomorrow of biblical proportions if the weather experts are to be believed. If we delay the start time on Sunday, you will be notified by email and/or the message board.

The rides on Sunday will start at the same location. We suggest you bring a rain jacket just in case.

Happy maintenance day!

B-STS Postponed 5/13 to 5/14

Planning to ride on Sunday which will hopefully be better than Saturday.

Be sure to watch your email Sunday morning in case it's less sunny than we hope.

Cycling in Maine: Recommendation?

Submitted by tcadoo on Fri, 05/12/2017 - 3:38pm

I'm headed to Maine in July and will be riding the Maine Lobster Ride Century on July 23, but will be looking for other rides while I am up there. 

I will have a car, and will be based out of Belfast. Thinking of heading to Bar Harbor and riding around Acadia / Mt. Desert Island, including climbing Cadillac Mountain

Any recommended / must do routes Down East?

Daylight on a full width bike path on the GW Bridge reconstruction?

Submitted by HSchiffman on Fri, 05/12/2017 - 12:21pm

On today's Brian Lehrer show, Neile asked Democrat candidate for Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy, if elected would he support a bike path on the GW Bridge renovation built to full width. 

Yes he would. And he went on to say how important cycling is to our region.

Well done Neile!

When is it too rainy to ride?

Submitted by CBrown on Fri, 05/12/2017 - 10:26am

Thoughts?  Tomorrow looks like a washout, but with GFNY coming next week, makes me wonder whether or not I should tough it out and get in the miles anyway.

Berkshire Weekend - Need Travel Suggestions For Friday Evening/Night Arrival.

Submitted by Rodrigo on Thu, 05/11/2017 - 10:47pm

NYCC peeps,

I don't own a car and can't leave early from work to ride with everyone Friday.  Any suggestions as to how to get up there? I can't leave work until 5pm (and Metro North doesn't allow bikes until after 8pm).

Thoughts?

Cheers,

RV
