As Darren has told us in recent posts, the waitlist feature of our online ride listings is still a work in progress.  Because this feature is not yet fine-tuned, it's possible for people to end up as a participant on more than one ride on the same day.

This Saturday's fall foliage rides are no exception; I see quite a few double-listed riders.  I know that a lot of people are still hoping to get spots on one of these rides, so please:

On October 30th Mike Taylor, the senior partner at Hopkins Architects, who designed the Olympic Velodrome, will be lecturing as part of The Architectural League of New York's Current Work series. Among other projects, I'm told that he is going to devote considerable time to the design and performance of the Velodrome. If you're interested in architecture and cycling this might be worth a look: 

  I don't see any listings for the annual Connecticut Shoreline Ride.  Is it not happening this year?

Nike drops Lance Armstrong as he steps down at Livestrong - ESPN

So... no titles, no charity, and no sponsors, his ruination is pretty much complete here. 

Well, one can only hope that it'll be good for cycling in the end. That, somehow, this restores integrity to the sport rather than reinforcing the perception that there's no point in doing it with any integrity.

Does anyone have a cue sheet from NYC to Sleepy Hollow and back?  I remember a past all class ride but can't find a cue sheet for it.

Thanks!

Wonder if levi's upcoming documentary is going to cover all this PED stuff.

Please note that the B17 and A19 groups for this Saturday's Fall Foliage Ride have a NEW START TIME.

These rides will meet at GCT @ 8:20 and will board the 8:48 train to White Plains.  The B15 groups will meet at 7:20 and board the 7:48 train to White Plains, as previously listed.  We are doing this to lessen the burden on Metro North.

Thanks, and see you on Saturday.

Here is a link (google+, posted to Facebook as well) to photos taken on this past Sunday's brevet out of Grover Mill - West Windsor, NJ.

The ride was as flat as you can get on a brevet and a good route to start on if you haven't ridden 125 miles or completed a brevet. There must have been 30+ at the start.

I rode with Leroy Varga (85 years), Laurent Chambard and Jonathan Levitt. If you think you are too old to complete a brevet, take inspiration from Leroy. He completed the road more than comfortably. He's amazing ... does NOT look his age at all.

The ride took us through the Pine Barrens. We had nothing but sunshine all day.
