advice wanted - is a repaired rim safe?

Submitted by GYang on Sun, 04/27/2014 - 11:29am

My front Ksyrium SL rim got dented on the STS yesterday when I hit a deep trench at 30+ mph.

A shop was able to hammer it back into place and smooth it out so its reasonably rideable now.

Questions -

Can I keep using it like nothing happened,

should I toss it now,

or ride it while I shop for a new wheel?

Looking for Room/Roommate or Recommendations for Berkshires Weekend

Submitted by SYoung on Sat, 04/26/2014 - 8:29pm

Change in my schedule has it made it possible for me to go to Berkshires - but don't know where exactly to stay?

Do you have a room and need roommate? Or are you also looking for roommate and a place to stay?

As I'm on my own - would like to stay in hotel/inn where other NYCCer's are staying--any suggestions? Going to be riding on B rides so think I would like to stay nearer to Shettfield-

Thanks for any help/suggestions-

dead cyclists family sued by driver who killed son

Submitted by RGrossberg on Sat, 04/26/2014 - 5:02pm
From USA TODAY Driver sues for $1.35M after hitting teen on bike On a rainy October night in 2012, 17-year-old Brandon Majewski and two of his friends were riding their bikes to get hot dogs when they were hit from behind by an SUV. Majewski was killed; the other teen boys were injured. Now the 42-year-old woman driving the SUV, Sharlene Simon, is suing all three—plus Majewski's parents and his brother, who has since died, the Toronto Sunreports. Simon says she suffered emotional trauma in the accident, which happened about 55 miles north of Toronto, and is claiming $1.35 million in damages. "They did not apply their brakes properly," her lawsuit states.

Late Start to Demarest is ON

Janice and I are optimistic that it will clear up and the roads will be dry by the time we head out for our ride.

However, given the iffy weather, we may have to be a little flexible and change the ride on the fly.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Fenders if you have them, llight rain jacket a good idea. Extra tube if possible. Email ride leader if you plan to join so I know to look for you.

B SIG is ON for Saturday

Submitted by FLeffel on Fri, 04/25/2014 - 9:23pm

Weather reports are a bit inconsistent, but the consensus seems to be that the overnight showers will be gone by 7 or so, then clear through late afternoon. 

But be prepared for the possiblity of rain just in case. Rain jacket, front and rear flashers if you have them. Also, it might be windy.

See you in Woodlawn!
