Looking for two cyclist for an internal/web based film for a prominent bike manufacturer. Will be shot in NYC, great short piece, produced by an award winning production agency. Shoot days are May 26-28, we will only need you for one of those days. There will be pay. No extreme or trick riding, however, you must know how to ride a bike well. Please send headshot, availability, and bike experience when submitting. 

Looking for two cyclist/actors:

MALE: an active executive type, clean cut, hip, creative director look, who can ride a bike well. 

FEMALE: hip urban chick, Williamsburg type. Artist type. Tattoos welcome. Must know how to bike well.

I currently lead a Monday Central Park C training ride twice or three times around the park starting at 6:15 am from the 72nd and Fifth Avenue entrance to the Park AND a Wednesday C ride down the Greenway to Battery Park City and back starting at 6:15 from the Eleanor Roosevelt statue at 72nd and Riverside.

I would like to enlarge the ride, encouraging everyone to join (which, I know, means talking more people into getting up at that time!) AND have a way to deal with the wide variation of cyclists' experience and speeds which often happens with C rides.

I was so happy for, and proud of, our club's riders who did the 200k.

Hi.

A friend and I rented a house in Great Barrington for Memorial Day Weekend.  If you are in need of lodging and are interested in possibly sharing the house, please reach out to me.  (Four bedrooms, three baths, lovely kitchen, great house…)   The most it would cost is $250 for the weekend but it could be a little less depending on the final number of people.

People,

On Saturday, did 105 miles of the Ronkonkoma 200K (127 miles) before DNF-ing. 

Haven't ridden longer than century since 2006, but believe it's better to fail hard than succeed easy.   (Still sucks.)

Anyway, you learns more from your failures than 'cesses, so here's my postmortimer on what went right and wrong.

PS> Another dozen NYCC-ers took part, so please feel free add your own PMs to this thread.

Ronkonkoma 200K postmortem

Right (Preparation)

- Did a century the Saturday before and a hilly 50 miles midweek.

Here's a toast to Carol Waaser, Annaline Dinkelmann, & Sosi Ermarkaryan for leading a lovely Mothers Day all-women's ride to State Line Park in New Jersey. Excellent instruction on fine points of dealing with traffic etc, beautiful day, excellent bunch of 14?  16? obedient club members = a model NYCC ride.
