Website Issues

Submitted by dortsman on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 1:57pm

This morning the site experienced some problems with a corrupted table in the database.  Effectively, it did not allow login.  It's working now. 

I realize there is a lot of frustration with the site.   After only six weeks on the job, I'm still getting the lay of the land.  My impression so far...  there are a lot of issues - large and small - that need fixing.  That said, we have a decent foundation from which to work from.  The all-volunteer web team has been working on some the small fixes since we met for the first time in early May.      

More good stuff to come...thanks for your patience on this. 

Anyone have a used/extra Cateye Strada they'd be willing to part with?

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 1:40pm

A friend of mine lost his computer unit over the weekend. It just popped off the bracket while riding, and we didn't notice until after we'd finished a nasty road and were ready to park bikes. I'm buying him a replacement on the sneak...

There's no need to buy the whole kit new all over again, so perhaps someone has one sitting in a drawer that they no longer need.

FYI, his wiring kit is for the Cateye Strada (the cheapest one they sell) and not the Strada Cadence or the wireless versions. I don't think the wiring is compatible with the Cadence, and I'm not looking to pay a premium to upgrade his kit.

Thanks to Pat for a great ride Sunday. The directions out to Syosset on the LIRR were perfect and it was a beautiful ride. Thanks again.

Submitted by SHwang on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 4:25pm

My husband and I are driving up to the Berkshires on Friday morning and will be arriving by lunchtime.  We are looking to hook up with a small group or individuals for a short ride around the Berkshires (B14-16 level 25-30 miles).  Let me know if anyone is interested or knows of any small group doing this.  We are staying at The Sheffield Inn.  Thanks!

Is anyone aware of a hassle-free way to travel to Rhode Island with a bicycle (other than riding it)?

Free: used rubber feet for Cycleops rollers

Submitted by CWood on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 3:59pm

I replaced the rubber feet on my Cycleops rollers. Two were split, but four are whole, still flexible and usable.

If you need a replacement, send me an email. How many you want, when you will come. Pick up anytime in East 30s.

 

(P.S. Another big huge thank-you to Brian for selling me these rollers. I just loooove them.)

Tubular wheel set

Submitted by dortsman on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 3:03pm

Anyone riding on a tubular wheel set...

I came into possession of 20ish year old mavic gl330.  Thinking about building them up.  

Anyone have experience?


I am injured and therefore looking to sell my reservation for a room share with a female friend for the Memorial Day weekend. 
It's a room with 2 beds at The Weathervane Inn.

Cost is $150 total for the 3 nights (incl. Continental Breakfast). 

I also have a ticket for the dinner at the Egremont Country Club.
Please contact me if you are interested.

lightweight wind/water resistant jacket

Submitted by MBruckner on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 11:00am

I'm currently using an underarmour wind jacket and it is terrible.  It is so hot that I've never finished a ride (or a run) with it still on.  Does anyone have a superlight, water-resistant, wind-breaking jacket that they like and recommend?

 

Thanks!
