A classic A ride at a friendly B18 pace.

Excellent group riding skills desired. We will ride together on flats and regroup at the top of hills. Lunch in Nyack. Please make sure your bike is in good riding condition and tires properly inflated. Bring water and pocket food.

E-mail me for confirmation at [email protected]. Ride limited to 10 plus ride leaders.

Looking for Group Rides in Denver Area Next Week. Suggestions?

Submitted by RCiardullo on Thu, 07/28/2011 - 10:30am

I will be in Lakeville, CO  (the Denver burbs) from Sunday 8.1 through Friday 8.5 then off to Grand Junction. Anyone know of any good A level group rides in the Denver area? I did a web search, but only found a few easy 20 mile rides!

Where is the membership directory on the website?

I can't seem to find the membership directory on the web site.  Could someone tell me where it is?  Thank you.

From Bicycling magazine, July 2011:

Ithaca, New York: Big hills, fast descents and local wine make central New York a cycling nirvana.

Ups And Downs: The Two Gorges Ride, a Finger Lakes Cycling Club Sunday outing, connects several glacier-carved waterfalls to create a 28-mile route through rolling countryside. The route climbs wooded backroads, visiting Treman State Park's 12 cascades, including its 115-foot-high centerpiece, Lucifer Falls.

Route from NYC to Montak

 

Can anyone point me to a route or "Q" sheet for a route, I'd prefer a north shore route if anyone has one. Thanks

Gun & Emily's "Climb Till You Drop" Ride on July 31st

Submitted by EMaynard on Wed, 07/27/2011 - 11:38am

Hi:

Gun and I are really excited for the last in our series of long summer rides. This one, true to its name, will involve a lot of climbing.

Because of the length of the ride, the climbs, and the heat, we are going to try to keep our rest stops brief so that we don't have to take a 10pm train home. For that reason, we recommend that people bring plenty of pocket food, as most of our stops will be to fill up on water and we are going to have just one longer stop, for lunch.

Looking forward to it!

Emily Maynard

Bars That Fold Flat

For many of you this may be un-cool, but for those of you who keep a bike in an apartment or in a closed space and find the handle bars make storing your bike awkward, check this out:
