I'm heading down to do the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Trail October 29th. The trail goes 300 miles from Pittsburgh to Washington DC. Planning on doing the trip over 5-8 days.

[email protected] for details if you're interested

There are some spots available for this Saturday's Mansion Tour. Go to the upcoming rides section and contact the leader.

SUNDAY 10/16, B17+/65, Social Climbers #4 “Westport” [Full up]

START: Grand Central Terminal

FINISH: 4:32, 5:32 PM at Westport Metro North

LEADERS: Fred Harris, Neile Weissman

WHAT: Why should A-riders have all the fun?  This week we tackle the magnificent A-SIG cue to Westport.  Train up to White Plains, then a hilly romp through upper Westchester and Fairfield.  Finish with a fifteen mile rolling descent down Newton Turnpike into Westport.  Couple miles hardpack.  Two food stops.

TERRAIN: Very hilly.  4500' climbing, mostly over the first 50 miles.

As reluctant as I am to call rides for weather forecasts, I am doing so for this week's ride. I do hope to see some people signed up to join us for this lovely way to briskly start the day before the winter gets here for real.

Hi. 

I am a new member (NOT a ride leader).  But I do try to get to Prospect Park in Brooklyn to do laps during the work week.  The catch is that I go at 5:00 AM (sometimes 5:15).  I believe I am a C level and roll about 13 - 14 mph on average.

If anyone is interesting in joining me from time to time; would love the company.  

Thanks.

Yves

I won't be riding Thursday, Oct. 13.  However, if it's not raining at the start, Jerry Ross plans to be there to ride with anyone who shows up.  I hope to see you next Tuesday, Oct. 18.

Hi folks.  Brand new member of NYCC and want to pick the right rides.

I live in Brooklyn, so I don't get to Central Park that often for the self test.  Here's some info:

I've been riding seriously for two years - a lot of commuting from Bklyn to midtown manhattan during the summer months (20 miles round trip)

Have done a number of long-ish rides ranging from 30 to 55 miles (including ENY, NYC Century (55) and Bike MS NY (50)).  Longest ride was last week: 75 miles Brooklyn to Piermont, NY and back.

I'm a heavy guy, weigh about 287.  I ride a Giant Rapid 2 (hybrid) - described as a road bike-like frame with flat handlebars.  No knobby tires or suspension

slight possibility it will not rain, but i won't be awake at 5am to find out!  feel free to ride anyway if the inclination strikes you.

Please excuse the interruption from the normally brighter fare on this message board.  If you or someone you know is suffering from chronic pelvic pain caused by cycling and has been unable to obtain relief, please feel free to contact me.  I have been suffering from chronic pelvic pain for over two years due to cycling, and I just had surgery that offered me immediate relief from some of my pain.  Although I face a lengthy post-surgical recovery period, I am continuing to experience improvement almost every day.  The surgeon that I saw uses methods that he has developed himself and in my case (and in many others) he did not sever any ligaments.  The surgery has meant a marked improvement in my life and I finally have reason to be optimi

Is River Road okay to ride.Havn't been there in a while
