Co-Ride Leader for Rides Starting in Queens

Submitted by Smgolub on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 10:00pm

I'm an experienced rider looking to start leading rides (B 15/16) originating in Queens and going out to Long Island.  Would any of the experienced ride leaders be interested in co-leading a couple of rides with me so I can get my feet wet?  If so, please send email to [email protected].

Thanks,

Steve

Watch for Alpine/Nyack Cops

Submitted by DLoayza on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 3:14pm

I got a fat $85 ticket for "failure to observe signal". Specifically, the red light coming out from Alpine/River Road, on my way back from the north. Of course, the infraction is not really accurate, as I totally observed the signal. What I failed to do was observe the cop sitting there, who even told me "I was sitting RIGHT THERE".

Nevertheless,I was pretty pissed off, but then felt better when I remembered that the first cop that pulled me over in Nyack for running a stop sign (roughly an hour earlier) let me off with a verbal warning.

I only wonder if I had given an ID other than my driver's license, if I would not have received the ticket. Also wondering if points will go on my license.

Bloomin Metric

I have two tickets for the blooming Metric this Sunday May 20th.  I am participating in the Gran Fondo on Sunday and because of the conflict can not use the tickets.  I got these early on, so are at the fourty eight dollar price point.  Please email if interested, [email protected]

Update, one ticket left.

Hey everyone!

This is probably the third or fourth time I've mentioned this trip of mine on the forums so I'll make the intro quick.  A friend of mine and I are relative novices (only relative because I just finished the C-SIG!) to cycling and are planning a tour from NJ/NY to California for next May (almost exactly a year from now).

Still Room to Register for this Sunday's Montauk Century ride

Submitted by bomberpete on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 11:47am

On the fence about doing the Montauk Century? There's still time to register:

You owe it to yourself to check out this all-new ride route for 2012. It's super-scenic, takes the best of the back roads, and bypasses the worst congestion of Montauk Highway.  Start at Hampton Bays, Long Island, or at Penn Station NYC (with 5BBC-provided transportation).  Choice of 65, 100, or 125 mile routes.
