Hey Folks,

It's your (often not so) friendly webmaster. We're exploring upgrading our site to a more current version of the underlying Content Management System (CMS.) Because we have a fair number of customizations (our rides registration system & annual election system are just a few examples) the upgrade will inevitably have some kinks that need to be worked out. While we're at it, we'd also like to modernize the look and feel and make the site more mobile friendly.

This type of a project is no small effort, but if we can harness the power of our 2000+ members, I'm pretty sure we can pull it off with nominal expenditure. To that end, we're looking for assistance in the following areas (ordered by priority)

see you there

8 miles out and 8 miles back on the West Side Greenway on the bike this evening.

I just missed tragedy twice. And one more time crossing 10th St.

Both near misses on the bike path were users turning around without looking back. A cyclist and a runner did U turns, within a second or 2 of colliding with me, head on. They did not look back before their turn. After a few near misses, I learned my lesson and now have a policy of looking back 3 times prior to reversing my route, running on the path.

Very funny bit in a potentially not-so-funny article about someone replacing the American flags on the Brooklyn Bridge with bleeched out flags: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/nyregion/white-flags-mysteriously-appear-atop-the-brooklyn-bridge.html?ref=nyregion&_r=0.  

Chairman Degnan.  Commissioners.  

Has anyone ever rented a bike in Vegas?  I'm staying at the Mirage and would love a good recommendation for a good weekly rental.  Is it even recommended to bike in Vegas in August?  I hear it's HOT HOT HOT this time of year.  

Is anyone driving to ride in The Harlem Valley Ride on Sunday?

If you don't post rides...

There won't be any rides!

Our club activities are part of a shared mission... and now is the time for riders to share a little more! We have some gaps in the schedule and I'd like to fill 'em. There are plenty of B15 and B16 postings but few B17/B18 lately. 

Do you care about the club? Do you ride at a B17 or B18 pace? Are you willing to commit to a weekend afternoon in the near future to do a ride that you would probably like to do anyway? Well then step right up!
