Hi everyone.  As part of the election, the Board is asking for permission to increase its size.  Currently we are at our maximum as allowed by the by-laws.  We'd like the option to increase from 15 to a max of 17.  At this moment, we don't have a position that we know we need, but that could change and we'd like to have the leeway to do so to help meet the club needs.  If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

Anyone up for riding from the Adriatic to the Mediterranean in Southern Italy?

I just signed up for a 9-day cycling trip (8 days of biking) across Southern Italy and I thought I’d see if anyone in the club wants to join me.

The trip is from May 24 to June 1.
It’s run by a great company called Ciclismo Classico. I’ve been on four Ciclismo trips and each one was a fantastic experience. The routes, guides, hotels, and food always went far beyond my expectations.

The cost of the trip is $6,700 based on double-occupancy.
Lauren, the owner of Ciclismo is offering us a special club discount that is based on the number of people who go.

4-6 friends: $150 pp off

7-9 friends: $200 pp off

This is a very small bike shop with one mechanic and a small cafe with snacks, light meals, coffee and other drinks (including beer).  It is very friendly and pleasant.  There's a clean restroom.

Hi I'm new here. Per the calendar, I thought there was going to be a C level Prospect Park laps ride at 7:15 this morning? Wondering if it was cancelled or if I did something wrong? Didn't find anyone when I got there at 7:10. Did the ride anyway

Anyone looking for a great cycling event in the Italian Dolomites in 2026?

I have a recommendation (I did the Giro delle Dolomiti this year):

Does anyone know if the bike path on Manhattan Bridge is open? Google does not think so.

TIA

At last night's meeting, members were allowed a strictly regulated, timed 1 minute to ask questions. Speakers average 125 words a minute. I was shut down before completing the predicate to my questions so it seemed I had nothing more to offer than personal complaints. Having experienced moderators not seeing or understanding something, I wanted to suggest they first speak with posters about their posts before removing them.
