Upper Saddle River ​may have a ticket with your name on it

Submitted by HEskenazi on Thu, 10/08/2015 - 2:59pm

and i'm not talking about a winning Lotto ticket.

Is this only Upper Saddle River? nope! The police in Piermont were kind enough to warn us during ENY.  Now it's up to you.

Word of the day, shoaling

I think there are times when shoaling is a necessary maneuver riding in the city.  In my experience, when you ride up to an intersection with 2 or more Citi bikers in front of you, it takes them quite some time for each one of them to start moving when the light turns green, especially when they are riding side by side and talking to each other.

10k Elevation Gain, 100 Miles, GWB to Bear & Back...

Submitted by UnfilteredDregs on Tue, 10/06/2015 - 7:44pm

Looking for critique, any assistance, route recommendations...

Essentially am trying to construct a route with 10k elevation gain total including summiting Bear.

I'd greatly appreciate it if the more sagacious route wise amongst you would have a gander at this route and let me know what you think... 

Thank you!!!

Anyone have one?  Using NJ Transit to start is okay.

What creep stole a 93-year-old's trike?

FYI.   I've met Martin. A wonderful man.  Old enough to call Richard Rosenthal "junior" while passing him up a hill.

POSSIBLE WAYS TO BOOST MEMBERSHIP[/SIG ATTENDANCE

Submitted by JOlson on Sun, 10/04/2015 - 7:47pm

I have no actual knowledge why membership is declining, but a couple of things occur to me as possible causes, and therefore changing them might reverse the trend. I agree with those who say that the number of members is not itself important -- it's a recreational cycling club after all. But, particularly given the time and work devoted by SIG Leaders and members who organize our larger rides (Newcomers, All-Class, and especially ENY) the decline in interest in these is troubling.
