The day dawns grey

The blacktop shines

The skinny tires spin

"I am interested in riding this weekend. I live in Chelsea and could leave early Friday afternoon and stay through Monday. Does anyone have room for me (5'2")and my bike?  I would be thrilled to share a room and all travel costs. As of yesterday there was a room available at the Lantern Inn w 2 queen size beds for 110 a night. Cell is the best way to contact me at 347-262-0755. Texting is fine."

I have to work a half day tomorrow, so I will be catching the 145pm train to Wassaic station about 30 miles from Great Barrington. I plan on riding up at a A19 pace if any wants to join me?

Long, flat road with no traffic and few turns? LIE service road?

Submitted by riton on Thu, 05/24/2012 - 11:12am

Hi!
I'm looking to ride long flat stretches, departing from NYC, with the least trafic possible (want to test out how long/comfortable I am on my aerobars)
Someone suggested the LIE service road, but I'm not sure how to get there, up to where I can ride it, how good it actually is compared to 9W,...
I looked around the ride archive but didn't really find anything that looked to fit. Anyone has any pointers?

Thanks!!!
 

Driving to Berkshires on Friday?

Submitted by Smoll on Thu, 05/24/2012 - 9:16am

Hi,

 

I am riding my bike up to Sheffield on Friday and I wonder if there's anyone driving up on Friday who has space for a small back pack?

 

Please email at [email protected] or call at 646 373 8024.

 

Will be happy to drop off the bag at your house tonight.

 

Thank you,

 

Seb

Am I the only dummy who can't figure out their Cateye?

Submitted by Moss55 on Thu, 05/24/2012 - 12:11am

I just picked up my first bike computer, a Cateye Adventure (wireless) and I've been playing with it for the last hour or so...and I can't figure out this stupid SSE button.  The instructions basically say it has to be pressed constantly to set it up but I swear this thing doesn't press.  Am I completely incompetent or is this thing defective?

2012 Gran Fondo Review

Submitted by jbenepe on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 7:15pm

Hi everyone. If any of you rode the Gran Fondo on Sunday we would love to hear your view of the story we did on it. http://cyclistsinternational.com

We had a hard time reaching the organizers so question to you: is it balanced?
