BarMitts
Submitted by EWeiss on Tue, 12/13/2011 - 6:39pm
On Sunday I did a ride up Gate Hill to Lake Welch with my Rockland buddy Bob and we used BarMitts for the first time. The starting temp. on Sunday was about 30 and windy. The BarMitts are neoprine mittens that easily slide over the hoods of your handle bars and are fastoned with two velcro closures. They are easliy installed and removed. They have them for Shimano, Campy and SRAM (the same for both) and for mountain bikes (straight across bars) and come in small, medium and large. You can use thin long finger gloves inside the BarMitts. I used the Assos Early Winter gloves with the Assos thin liners, inside the BarMitts. You can take your hands in and out of the BarMitts easily while riding.

I don't ride along this stretch of road in Brooklyn but I know that many do on their way into Manhattan.

CYCLING 101-winter training-not your normal schedule----------

Now that winter is here; most of us are riding less. How do we maintain fitness over the winter. You can ask 15 coaches and get 16 different schedules; and suggestions. Here is another one. Other than riding indoors and starting to run now.

Vermont August 2012
Submitted by DHudes on Mon, 12/12/2011 - 8:05pm
I am organizing a 4 day / 3 night trip to Ascutney Mountain in Vermont for Sunday August 26 - Wednesday 29. T transportation from NYC, 3 nights lodging in a suite and use of resort facilities / amenities. Our rides will go along country roads and through/to the quaint towns of Quechee, Woodstock and Windsor. My wife and two daughters are coming along but my wife doesn't ride at all and my daughters won't want to climb any mountains if they ride at all. That leaves one bedroom with two beds and the sleeper couch in the living room. I have room in the SUV I've rented for 1-2 cyclists with 1 bike and 1 medium suitcase each.
