Hi NYCC!

Last week we sent out a press release giving details about our East Coast Outreach Tour. The National Interscholastic Cycling Association will be hosting a meeting in New York City on July 8th, and at the Windham UCI Race on July 9th and 10th to help promote our high school mountain biking programs.

How many carry a spare and any advice on emergency derailleur hangers? Should they be periodically inspected/replaced?

We are going for a weekend to Woodstock NY.  Does anyone have a favorite route between 50 and 60 Miles they could refer.  I have a Garmin so if I could get the file that would be great.  

Also any restaurant, hikes or things to do recommendations would be appreciated as well.  Thank you dave

Interesting read. Thoughts? How many of you ride a noseless saddle?

Does anyone have a Gala ticket they won't be able to use?  Will to pay dollar for dollar!  Please email me at [email protected]  

Was invited to go as a date with someone I met through the SIG, but when I went to buy a ticket they were sold out... super bummed! Please help!

I haven't bought Cytomax (my drink of choice) in awhile (the 80 something serving bottle lasts me many months) and have just discovered that it now contains Stevia, an awful tasting sugar substitute. Does anyone have a favorite sports drink (not recovery drink) that doesn't contain this natural but vile tasting addition...?

Anyone going down that way for the 4th?

If so, hit me up.  And, we'll ride.

Am I the only one who doesn't want to read about death and dismemberment on the NYCC message board?

If you read, say, a car forum (and way more people die in cars, even in New York City, than in any other method of transport), it's not all about death.

Why are cyclists so obsessed with or fascinated by accidents?  Just looking at the raw statistics, it's not like we have that much to worry about.

I hope I haven't offended anyone by expressing this sentiment.

I am wondering if anyone has information for rides around the Jersey Shore.  I found a route to get down there from Newark which I plan on doing, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for day rides I can do once I'm down there.  If not full rides, then even just somes good roads to ride on or sources where I could find such information?

Specifically, I'll be down near Point Pleasant / Seaside so rides around the Tom's River or even slightly further west would be great.

Ride details for this weekend's West Point trip:

Those who are not attending the entire weekend, but wish to join a ride may do so subject to the discretion of the ride leaders.

Thanks!
