Tragedy strikes again ... Douglas Daniele, former Bike New York Masi and NJ resident, was killed on Wednesday as he was enjoying his Harley in Suffern. Douglas has been a bike icon. He will be sadly missed.

A ride is being put together - possibly this Sunday, Sept 4. Either Jennifer Benepe or I will post the info here.

Mass and funeral services are not available at this time.

Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] for more info.

I don't know what the duration of the closings will be but if you are planning to cycle there in the near future you might check PIPC at Bear Mtn.

Riding south on Hudson Terrace at 9am today, I saw a paceline of about 100 riders heading north.  Was that some sort of event, or just a *really* popular training ride?

LEADERS: Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT:  For those not planning on doing the magnificent Golden Apple.  We'll track weather radar and either a) get on a train for hilly CT-Westchester outing, or if the window of opportunity is early, b) just ride out of the city.

We would like to invite any of the club to help out volunteering at The Toughman Tri in Westchester NY on 9/11 from 7:30am-noon.  

It is a 56m bike course that rolls across the hills of N. Westchester. They would be asked to man several corners from 7:45am-noon and then they would be invited back to Croton Point Park to partake in a post race celebration including live music and a BBQ.

Last yrs race raised over $130,000 for 33 charities. This year are supporting the 9/11 Memorial being erected at Croton Landing with a piece of steel from the WTC.

Woman killed riding in bike lane would be alive if construction debris cleared up: Family (NY Daily News, Sept. 1, 2011)

[Note: this is a follow-up to yesterday's "controversial" [*cough*] posting]

The family of a Brooklyn woman killed by a car after she fell off her bicycle said she would still be alive if construction debris had been cleared from the bike lane.

Erica Abbott, 29, was riding her bike southbound on Bushwick Ave. when she came across a makeshift fence that had toppled into the bike lane near Powers St. about 7 p.m. Tuesday, cops and a relative said.

Hi folks,

I just wanted to post one last reminder about the ride from Philly to NY.

Arvi and I will be meeting at the art museum at 5:45 am this Sunday, so please feel free to tag along.

We'll probably amble along at a B 16-17 pace depending on the usual variables.
