Berkshires Weekend 2016 - save the date
March 12th
Grant's Tomb crit that day on RSD. Might want to take a different route to the bridge.
Henry Hudson Drive, a/k/a River Road
As of today (Thursday), it was completely rideable from south to north (and back again). Tree was removed along with the police tape (I would not have crossed that). However, there is still MUCH debris in the way of small to medium rocks, as well as stubby branch chunks, all over, especially on the faster downhill sections, so be cautious!
Yoga for Cyclists presentation/demonstration at Tuesday's Club Meeting
Dear members,
Rear wheel stolen in Chelsea yesterday afternoon
Someone stole my (not-fancy) rear wheel from the corner of 25th Street and 7th Avenue sometime between 2pm and 6:30 pm yesterday. Yes, it was a quick release, and no, I did not have the wheel locked, so I could definitely have done more to deter this crime. Still, this is the first bike theft I've dealt with on NYC streets in around 10 years; phps that should be considered a good run.
Anyhow, it blows, and putting it out there as a warning re: this location in Chelsea--someone around there has sticky fingers.
How big a putz can a cop be to cyclists? This big.

If you've gone through B-SIG and you're looking to join us in building some easy base miles in balmy 45 degree weather (hopefully), come take a look!
