Your CSIG qualifactions ride begins on 3/11/17. However the weather for NY is taking a turn for the worst. 

Saturday's temps will drop into the very low 20's with winds at 23mph these temps are very dangerous for riding a bike.

Please keep me posted. Thanks Rodney B.

I have been watching Paris-Nice on the NBC Sports Gold App. Who is doing the commentating on the race? Sounds like an Aussie acccent.

"We're anticipating 2017 to be a particularly risky year for Lyme," Ostfeld says.

Keesing and Ostfeld, who have studied Lyme for more than 20 years, have come up with an early warning system for the disease. They can predict how many cases there will be a year in advance by looking at one key measurement: Count the mice the year before.

The number of critters scampering around the forest in the summer correlates to the Lyme cases the following summer, they've reported.

The year: 1957

The race: Liège-Bastogne-Liège

The racer: Gérard Saint

What he did: Stopped in the snow to piss on his hands to bring them back to life.*

Norbert Phillipps has announced that the medium-speed rides in this series will be led at a B18 pace rather than a B17 pace as originally announced. The ride listings have been revised accordingly. Please consider whether this revision is important to you and if so, please consider withdrawing, or switching to the corresponding B16 rides.
