Saw a link (titled "Scratchbread Makes Protein Bars for 5 Boro Bike Race") on one of my daily reading blogs that led to this:

Bed-Stuy bakery SCRATCHbread offers cyclists cheesy treat at race - NY Daily News

The "race" is the TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour, of course

Let's all laugh for a second at the idea that everyone who doesn't ride bikes much thinks that everything we do is a race.

Where's the best place to park on the other side of the GWB?

ground is wet.  go back to bed!

is anyone doing this ride?

I bought (but have not yet mounted) a set of 700x23 wheels for an old road bike. What can I expect from the change in size?

I am also riding (on a newer bike) a pair of 700x25. Will I see / feel a difference between the 23 and 25?

Not sure if it is open now, but I got some stair practice in this morning and figured teh knowledge was worth sharing.

We're go unless it starts raining between now and 6am.
