Just curious... anyone doing the Farm Ride ? (Aug 12 - 14 in Amherst & Northampton, MA - http://thefarmride.com/Home_Page.html)

I'd like to stay over the entire 3 days but for now I may only sign up for the century on August 13. Have you participated before ? Is it worth staying for the "relax rides" of Friday and Sunday as well ?

Thanks !

 Posting for a teammate of mine... She's fast, so it must be a fast bike.  ;-)

Anyone riding the Great Hudson Valley Pedal with space for me and my wheels in their vehicle up to Albany?  Will share gas costs.

Or anyone want to share a one-way car rental?

Thanks!

It's raining at Yankee Stadium, but sunny outside my window 2 miles away.  It looks like the winds, hail and tornados will be finished by midnight.  Check the message board after 8 a.m. for any possible change in the ride status.

If you've signed up but are not planning on join us tomorrow, please delete yourself from the list of riders so that someone else can sign up.

It's also been suggested that I advise you that the lunch spot on City Island only accepts cash.

Don't forget your bike map, subway map, Metrocard, etc. to cover you in case you need to bail out before the end of the ride.

Kevin Cruickshank and I will lead a MELLOW Rockland Cty ride on Saturday.  The exact route will be determined by the weather conditions and rider preferences, but we're planning on finishing in Cold Spring and taking the train back, probably passing through Harriman on the way up.

This is not an official NYCC ride--no cue sheets, no sign-in sheets.  Regroup after climbs.  Required: paceline skills, helmet, and all the other usual.

We'll meet at 8am at Grant's Tomb.

To all ride leaders who have been diligently and patiently trying to submit recurring rides:

The system is NOT functioning.  We understand that 1) the multiple rides do not get submitted to the Ride Coordinators, 2) when changes are made, they all might disappear, and 3) sometimes none of the rides appear as submitted.

Until the problem is identified and we have the resources to get it fixed, you will need to submit each ride separately.  It has the webmaster's attention, as do many other important "fixes".  Please do not attempt to use the recurring ride submission system until we notify you on the MB that the problem has been solved.

And thank you for continuing to submit rides-  your fellow club members are very grateful!

Lesse and I are really excited to be leading this ride on Sunday. This is the third year we've done it, and it's always been a hoot.

A few people have emailed me about the climbs... how hard are they, really? Some of them are pretty tough - but short. Think Ash - but with a real hard kick... or maybe two. We will approach these with a spirit of camaraderie - urging each other to the top. Other climbs are a little longer but more moderate. Many are full of character; some feature fantastic views. Either way, you'll be going slow enough to take it all in.
