Thanks to today's VCR riders for a such a fun ride.  Beautiful bikes, brisk day, delicious food.  Most expensive and longest (in time) 20 mile ride ever.  Thanks to Mindy for a great route and for being a guest leader.

Hi.

This week we're pilfering Madge's (Cross Country Mule) 3 Reservoir cue for an absolutely beautiful and wind protected 60 mile ride with rolling hills and lots of water views. Damon will post up a gpx file for the nerds. You analog types email me for a cue sheet. Which reminds me, please remember to bring cue sheet clips so that you know where you are going while on front of paceline or if you decide to get yourself home. 

One of the best things about this ride is warm homemade donuts at The Farm for snacky time. In fact, bringing a couple of these home was the price I had to pay to pursuade the mule to give us one of her highly protected and proprietary cue sheets. 

Despite title of post, no babies.

To The Membership of NYCC:

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of the Fall 2011 Update to NYCC.org. There are many great feature improvements that you will see (listed below). However, the biggest changes are to things you cannot see - our database structure and custom rides code. Many hours of work went into this project. I want to specifically thank our outside developer, Markus, for his insight, hard work, and patience. Also, I'd like to thank everyone how took part in testing (more to come on that in a later message board post).

We are looking for a few volunteers to assist with check-in at the holiday party this Monday.  If you are available, please email [email protected].

Thank you!

No immediate advisories, and this story comes off more as a tale of infrastructural whimsy than a traffic advisory:
