Join two (possibly three) other NYCC members and myself for an early afternoon ride out to the State Line Lookout.  We will be meeting up at 11:00AM by the Eleanor Roosevelt statue and following Carol Waaser's cue sheet http://nycc.org/node/55033

Hope to see you there!

Hi All, 

I just read confliciting information regarding the construction start date for the GW Bridge bike path.  I've heard 2014 and I read 2015 in a recent article from the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition. Does anyone know what the correct date is?

Thanks!

Anyone know what the conditions are like right now?  Last time I rode it over the summer it was "closed" to cars (although one or two passed us on the "closed" portion) and it was ridable, though with a few sections of enormous pot holes where you had to walk your bike.  Still ridable? 

Today is the three quarter century Birthday of a long time member, great wheel maker,excellent ride leader, so-so bike mechanic, great VP Programs, ex President, NYCC curmudgeon, superb jersey designer. . .you know who you are - HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Anyone know how to calculate the "maximum" speed one can ride around a bend with radius r?

I registered for LaVueltaPR and I'm in the process of getting together a training schedule.  Anyone else doing LaVuelta next year ? Would love to be part of your team! or Anyone that have done it before that can share some training tips.  I'm currently doing my longs rides on weekends and I could also use the company and support to get out on the saddle especially in the cold days ahead! Thanks in advance!  Sonia

I'm the designer of the colorful jersey with the large NYCC logo and gears & sprockets on it that seems to have generated some controversy. I have not spoken out before on this since the design authorship is supposed to be anonymous. However now that the voting has closed, it was time for me to respond to some comments.
