Join NYCCers on a Trip to See the Brooklyn Cyclones Play Ball!
Sat. 7/30, NYC to Cold Spring, A19
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.
Problem with recurring rides submission system
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!
Nightmare on Elm St - Sunday 7/31
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.

Looking for Group Rides in Denver Area Next Week. Suggestions?
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!
SEE, Poll says New York Voters like Bike Lanes
See? The police really are your (sometime) friend.
(And, no, I am not a friend of entrapment.)
