The Larry's & Jeff's Bicycles Plus on Second Ave/87th St. (not the one on Third Ave. at 80th) changed hands.  Does anyone know where the former manager, KC, went?

The current weather forecast for the Peekamoose Century on Sunday is outstanding.   As of this evening, the ride is ON.  We'll make one more weather check Saturday evening and post our call here.

Sunny...somewhat humid....mid-70's to low 80's on the way to the Catskills, mid-70s to low 80's in the mountains, mid-to-high 80's in the valleys and on Minnewaska on the return home.  

Nevertheless, it's definitely summer riding weather and hydration and electrolyte maintenance is important.  We'll make three scheduled stops on the road:

Mile 15 (or 22)  @ Mohonk Golf Course Clubhouse (or Stone Ridge) - fluids only

Mile 37  @ Good Stuff Deli - West Shokan (fluids + snacks)

Hi All,

The other day I was introduced to an organization who helps make the lives of children fighting cancer & their families just a bit easier by sending these kids to Summer overnite camp.

Everything from soup to nuts has to be built with each child’s special needs in mind. Buildings,

walkways, ramps, vans,  hospital beds, individual dietary needs, showers, tubs, therapy buildings, medical & nursing and support staff, and an onsite mini hospital (just in case).

I have been blessed with 3 healthy children and after I saw a video of these smiling laughing kids I picked up the phone, tissue in hand and told my wife that this is IT, I will do something.

The survey says?

Yes, Pedestrians are the major cause of accidents between them and automobiles.

The survey says?

Yes, 19 of top 20 most dangerous cities for pedestrian and car accidents are South of

the mason dixon line.

I can only tell you from my experience that the survey is pretty much correct even in NYC, but most automobile drivers need to learn to signal or look before then turn. Of course Cyslists are the worst

which we all know.already.

I would like to ride to Dobbs Ferry tomorrow.  I live on the UWS and was hoping someone can help with a route.

Looking at Google maps it looks like I should head up the S County Trailway.  Is that a paved path and therefore OK for a road bike (which is all I have)?

And what is the best way to get to the start of the Trailway in Van Cortlandt Park from the UWS?

Thanks

SUNDAY 7/17, B17+/60, SPF #3 “Lillinonah”

START: 7:30 AM at Grand Central 

FINISH: 5:15 PM at Bridgeport, CT Metro North

LEADERS: Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT: We train up to Hudson Valley, ride east to Roxbury for lunch, then south to Bridgeport for the train home.   Mountaintop vistas, nature preserves, lake communities, posh estates.

TERRAIN: Very hilly.  About ten miles hard pack.

For those of you who will join us riding The Knot on Saturday, I've mapped out the route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/545404

63 miles, nearly 6,000 feet of vertical.

I just bought a new bike and replaced the Shimano Dura-Ace with SRAM Red.  So i'm selling the BRAND NEW Dura-Ace parts.  Never been used, didn't even lay my fingers on them.  I have them all neatly packaged in the SRAM boxes with all cables etc.  I'd like to deal green and locally and avoid shipping these beautifully lightweight products (although I'm sure the shipping costs would be pennies!)  For sale I have the following Dura-Ace components;

- Dura-Ace Shifters - Model ST-7900 - 367 grams - $475 (retails over $600 + tax) 

- Dura-Ace Front Derailleur - Model FD-7900 - 66 grams - $100 (retails at $115 + tax)

- DuraAce Rear Derailleur 20 speed - Model RD-7900 - 165 grams- $220 (retails at $250 + tax)

I would appreciate it if anyone could remind me of the name and address of the mail order dealer in NJ who has good prices on tires, etc.  Thanks.
