The link here below is about a running/biking safe streets initiative I'm leading with TransAlt, as captain of the first-ever TransAlt  NYC Marathon Running Team, in honor and memory of my father-in-law, beloved longtime NYCC A-Ride Leader, IRVING SCHACHTER.

Corrected link for voting???

Submitted by GYang on Tue, 10/25/2016 - 2:16pm

We were forwarded a corrected link to vote yesterday, but several of us voted using the original "incorrect" link.

When we clicked on the corrected link we were told that we had voted already.

 

Clearly the system correctly recognized we had voted already, but were our votes cast using the incorrect link automatically transferred into the "correct" system?

Anyone have any views on whether rollers are worthwhile for winter training, and if so, which ones are best?

Thanks!

ENY Marketing...

Submitted by slunetta on Tue, 10/25/2016 - 3:53am

One of our main goals this past year was to create a unified look and feel to the ENY Brand. This needed to start from the Logo, continue to the Jersey, the staff t-shirts, banners, signs, all of the way down to arrows on the road. We needed to create the look, produce all of the elements and then capture them on the day of the event.

Why was this so important? When I first accepted the position, I went looking for the Historical Images and Logo artwork for ENY. There was no original artwork or high resolution photo set on the shared google drive from which to create new marketing materials. This put us in a very difficult position.

Choice 1: Produce low quality Products with the current Logo etc. (based on the material we had) or…

Bike MS NYC vs. Tour de Bronx

Submitted by FIVES5 on Sun, 10/23/2016 - 8:44pm

While I'm certain the scheduling wasn't done with intent, scheduling both events on the same day kinda sucked. I knew a few people riding the Tour de Bronx along with some of our club members. I however was already committed to riding the MS Tour. I'm not certain if any members participated in that ride today. I rode with some buddies and to keep it simple & safe we just did the 30 miles. A nice easy ride around Manhattan island. But I will say this ... at 0630 the wind was howling. Heading south on the West Side Hwy, the wind was directly in your face. Once we headed north on the FDR, we had sun and less wind ... which made for a much more enjoyable experience. But again, we looped around and headed south on the Henry Hudson and the wind once again smacked us.
