Hi All!

I wanted to solicit the expert feedback of the community here.

I am working on a side project to connect people with partners for outdoor activities called Sesh. One of those activities is (you guessed it) cycling!!

For those intrepid souls, i invite you to take a look (http://seshitup.com) and perhaps do some A/B testing vs the NYCC ride system. Id love to hear what you like and dislike about both.

For those interested in comparing, I'm hosting a Nyack ride this Sun @8a

Tapping into the collective brain ...

what is the best site for mapping and sharing a ride? I love bikeroutetoaster but it appears you can no longer share routes (online) that you've created only download in select formats ...

This list of negative rules for the women members of the Unique Cycling Club of Chicago in 1895 just ticked my bike shorts pink. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) I've highlighted my favorites but if written today the list would undobutedly include this prohibition: "Don't be an Iron Man. You're just a girl."  (Hey: How about someone create a 2015 version of this list for all genders.) Disclaimer: This is the most sexist list I've ever seen but so ridiculous it's absolutely laughable.

What woods these that I thought I knew

Yet now are ALL covered in snow

The police will not see me NOT stopping  here

As the park is ALL full of snow

The tourists think it queer

To see us ride our bikes amidst ALL the snow

Between The Boathouse and frozen lake

The nicest riding of the year!

The road conditions are a slight cover in places of salt; mostly dry roads.  The park is totally snow covered and beautiful-get your GO PRO out and film-I gotta get one

Jane Kenyon and Damon Strub, two longstanding NYCC members have recently opened Nomad Cycle, a bicycle shop in Long Island City.  We offer high quality repair and service, maintenance training, , custom built bikes, bike fitting and event space.  We also have New York’s only professional-grade DIY workstations for rent.   Visit our website www.nomadcycle.com to learn more.  Or better yet, please stop by the shop and say hello.

A couple of friends and I are signing up with a small-time organizer (no more web presence, just referrals nowadays) for a  cycling holiday in and around the Veneto, 20-28 May.  Bassano del Grappa will be our base of operations the whole time, and the Giro will be passing through, so we'll catch a stage (or two?).  The organizer has asked if we know anyone else who'd like to join, and I thought it would make a nice "graduation present" for completing a SIG (which is kind of how I'm looking at it), so I thought I'd pass the idea along here.  If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the brochure.

Anyone have a set of studded tires for a 29er that I could borrow? Need them for this weekend. I offer beer, good stories, tour of scars... (or money, if you wanna be boring!)

Just saw the Oscars®. (Yawn.) To my surprise, one of the nominees had a bicycle in its title. What was it? The first to correctly name it wins a genuine, hand powdered, and, I might add, unused tube.

Only one entry per person.

Only because I'm posting the above, do I add this, which is on the far, far opposite pole of levity; it is grim: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/bicyclist-attempting-world-record-ride-killed-truck-article-1.2124585
