From Brooklyn To Manhattan - TA Century Is Tomorrow Morning

Submitted by MTownsend on Sat, 09/07/2013 - 3:30pm

Heads up to anyone trying to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan tomorrow morning.

You would be well advised to use any bridge OTHER than the Brooklyn Bridge, especially early in the morning.  Usually that's the ONLY time I do ride over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan but since TA's NYC Century is tomorrow the bridge will be packed with riders coming from Manhattan into Brooklyn.

They will have very little sympathy for the fact that you're going "the wrong way" and, if it's like last year, there won't be any marshals on the bridge.

Escape NY "A" ride with siggi's/NYvelocity

Submitted by AOstroy on Fri, 09/06/2013 - 10:39am

Join us! For the 5th year in a row the siggi's team will be leading an A ride for Escape New York. All strong NYCC riders are welcome; not just those that are interested in racing next year. We will meet at around 6:45 AM at Sakura park and congregate right outside on the fence just south of the entrance, at 7:15 we ride. The pace will be steady and we will try to keep everyone together. It may get a bit more selective on the longer climbs, but we always regroup at the top. We’ll stop for all mechanicals, etc. 

Annual Andiamo Motorcycle Ride Sunday

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Fri, 09/06/2013 - 10:23am

If you enjoy the back roads of cycling through Jersey (501, Piermont Rd., County Rd.) you'd better check the route for this Sunday's Andiamo ride.  THOUSANDS of motorcycles flood the streets and can force a wait of over an hour to just cross the street.

NJ Gran Fondo Registration Available --TAKEN

Submitted by FLeffel on Thu, 09/05/2013 - 1:48pm

Last minute cancellation. I don't want the registration to go to waste. Registration is for the Medio, but I believe you can change to a different route if you want. 

Sorry -- it's now taken

Submitted by BianchiAxis on Wed, 09/04/2013 - 3:52pm

I paid $106 to register for the NJ Gran Fondo on Sunday, September 8 (got one of the NYCC discounted spots), but now I have to go to Ghana for work and can't do the ride. I just found out that the registration is transferrable so make me an offer.
