"5,000 Girl Scouts on the GWB on Sunday"
I got a press release this afternoon with this headline: "Thousands of Girl Scouts to Cross the GWB to Kick Off the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting...Sunday Nov 13, 2011." I emailed the publicist to ask if they'd made arrangements with the Port Authority to permit cyclists & pedestrians to get across - but heard nothing back. The fun starts at 9 am! The info below is from their media alert:

Tired of riding alone up a dark 1st Ave.
If anyone is regularly riding to CP for laps and wants to share a ride up 1st Ave. I would love some company. The recent spat of accidents has me thinking twice about the wisdom of doing this ride daily alone. I leave at 5:30 from 14th and 1st. I typically ride a B17 pace but will adjust either direction as needed.
File this under "Stolen Bike" or "Cycling is Healthy."
Fall Foliage
River Road and 9W appear to be at their peak or just passing it, and with this insane weather we've been having there is no excuse for not getting out there and riding, and enjoying the changing season!
chill out speed racer!

This is just sad. I see cyclists buzz pedestrians all the time. Even if you have the right of way, you shouldn't be anywhere near pedestrians at the speeds we travel.
Justice prevails - sometimes...
Election results
The candidates for the 2012 NYCC Board of Directors all ran unopposed, and were overwhelmingly approved by the voting membership... congrats and good luck!
The two membership fee proposals were also approved... the resolution to create a single level of membership, eliminating the "couples membership" was approved 341 to 55... the $30 membership fee was passed 311 to 85...
