SUNDAY 5/29, B17/18/19+/85, USTS #12 "18 River Roads"

START: 8:50 AM at Grand Central

FINISH: A subway in the Bronx.

LEADERS: Erica Jacobs, Michael Notaro, Neile Weissman

WHAT: A series of timed runs through Fairfield and Westchester combining elements of randonneuring and Gran Fondo (Grand Fondue?) to test the rider's endurance, bike handling, mechanical and navigational skills.  Rest stops in Scotts Corners, Katonah and Tarrytown.  

Cue sheets emailed out Friday night to RSVPs give you time to prep.  On the road, we will break out into three teams --  B17 ("survival"); B18 ("opportunity") and A19+ ("challenge").  

Gary McGraime reserved a block of rooms at The Lantern House where many of the C riders are staying.  One of the rooms has become available.  If you're interested, please contact Gary at [email protected] 

The room rate is $110+ tax per night ($55 if you share) for three nights, (Fri, Sat and Sunday) and includes either two queen size beds or a one king size bed.

I am reaching out to the NYCC community for advice

I just purchased from Ebay a set of Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR Wheelset which comes with tire and tubeset (clinchers shimano).  Believe it or not the seller listed it as an SR version and its actually the SLR version.  If you go to the Mavic Website the Wheelset appears to be exactly the same except for the tires.  It also appears that the SR version is a 2011 set while the SLR is 2010.

Are you confused yet?

The Wheels and Tires appear to be in excellent shape as they were sold as new with less than 100 miles on them.  I believe it based on the appearance

Here are my questions:

Looks like I spoke too soon...  If you are seeing this message then at least the site is up.  The web team is working out the issue.

For those technically minded...  One of the guys on the team discovered:

I did a do-it-yourself run out to Montauk on Saturday -- I last did this a couple of years ago -- and figured I'd pass along a few tidbits of information gleaned along the way:

* I was prepared to take the Hampton Jitney back -- when I last did this, the middle third of the ride back was marred by hordes of drunken yahoos coming from the Boardy Barn in Hampton Bays invading the train -- but it was a Saturday, and we were safe from this particular hazard. Traffic on Montauk Highway westbound was congested in the village centers anyway.
