It’s raining so we’re postponing to Sunday. Sorry.

Kudos due to Fort Lee PD
Today Fort Lee PD where conducting a sort of sting operation on motorists just south of the GWB before the overpass.
They had the traffic lights flashing orange and were snapping up cars that failed to yield to pedestrians. And I am talking lots and lots of cars.
But heres the great bit. Their drogue was an officer dressed head to foot as Donald Duck. Yet the cars still were not yielding.
I have never seen so many police with smiles on their faces. One can't help but wonder what the lucky officer did to draw the short straw.
They are cleasly aware that speeding in that section of Hudson Terrace is out of hand and are working at ways to slow down traffic. Well done.
Scouting ride - Saturday - change in meeting place
We will be meeting at the last stop on the #4 in the Bronx (Woodlawn Station) instead of the 242nd Street stop on the #1. But, the weather is not looking great so keep checking the Message Board to see if we are riding Saturday. If the weather is bad, we will postpone to Sunday.

Sharing Our Club With The World
We are a membership-based cycling club. We put a lot of hard work and focus into providing fantastic rides for our members. And we will continue to do that.
But we are also here to promote cycling... and, as an organization, promote the best of ourselves.
Based on my observations, considering feedback I've received from concerned club members, and in-line with good organizational practice (yes, by now you might have heard I'm all about "organizational excellence"), I think we should, among other things:

Poor Old Jens.
"A" ride getting to the start of the marathon ride
Proposed By-Law changes...
In my view, NYCC is well-served by a large Board and the diversity of voices that comes with that Board.
