Cancelled due to risk of severe weather

Severe thunderstorms in the forecast. 

Will likely re-schedule this ride later this summer.  

Devil's kitchen awaits

For those of you who are planning to join the All Class Ride, but still haven't signed up, we would appreciate it if you could sign up now rather than late Friday or Saturday.  As you know, this is a catered event,and I need to give my food count by noon on Friday.  We will NOT be closing out the ride early, we want everyone to join in the fun. But please help me get as accurate a food count as possible so that I can make sure we order enough food for all......and then some.

As an FYI, the feast of St. Rocco started today (8/3) and will run through this Sunday.  Part of Main St. will be closed, from about Parker Ave. to Central Road.  Parts of Central Road and Federspiel St. will be closed as well.  To add to the screwed-up traffic, the iPic movie theatre will be opening this weekend as well.

Thinking of purchasing a NYCC cycling cap off of the site and it seems Champion Systems only sell it as "one size fits all". Most places that sell caps seem to have a choice of S / M or L / XL. Since I wear an XL I am wondering if their cap would fit me. Anyone have any relevant experience with their caps. 

Special guests for our All Class Club ride.

We have invited the Major Taylor Iron Riders to be our guests on our All Class Club ride this Sunday.

Their ride calendar is pretty full up with some big events this weekend.  Nevertheless, we may get to ride with several of Major Taylor Iron Riders who are not able to participate on their events.  If so, I know you will welcome our guests and show them the hospitality and friendship that has been at our core since our founding some 80 years ago.

Hi All,

I'm planning to ride a century later this summer/fall, and was wondering whether anyone could recommend a nice route that is more like a "C" level or an easy "B" level.  If this helps, I'm comfortable with climbs like Bradley/Tweed, Waldron/Mountainview to the Water Tower above Nyack, and the various routes up to the Rockland Lake loop.

Also, if anyone is interested in coming along, please let me know.  Always happy for slow and steady company.

I hope this helps anyone else who may have/have had this issue.  It took me a few weeks of asking lots of people about this problem.  Angel finally had the answer.  You CAN use any Look cleats with this upgraded pedal, but the noise is infuriating.  Only the gray cleats with Teflon (which do not as yet come with rubber grippers) make for a quiet ride.  The cleats with Teflon have white bottom and white top underneath, where the cleat meets  the pedal.  Otherwise, the clicking and chirping sounds may drive one nuts (especially if you don't ride with headphones, as I don't do).
