I am disappointed in another deletion of an entire thread. If the MB moderators feel a post is inappropriate, delete that post. The identities of the 3 principles were known contributors to the MB. A heated discussion about an important topic to the cycling community should not be taken off because (?) it’s unsightly? Free expression is a highly prized right that is not available in many parts of the world.

HS, a long time leader/route master, posted a thoughtful reply to my post on Sunday and I am disappointed that for some unknown (to me) reason. The whole thing has been deleted.

Please use more discretion in deleting post in the future. I thought we spent all this time and money to get a new website was so that we can have a better MB.

Tell them about your experience, direct or indirect, at: http://www.publicinsightnetwork.org/form/wnyc/c5b218ca17b2/have-you-gott...

I am also referencing this bulletin board in my contribution.

I have an extra ticket to see The Normal Heart on Broadway on Sunday May 8 at 7PM. I saw the stunning original production at the Public in 1985. Want to go with me? The first person who makes a contribution to my Braking the Cycle page at http://btc9.kintera.org/nycraig of $150 or more gets the extra ticket!

Any A-19's + doing the Gran Fondo? meeting at Engineers gate at 5:15 AM Sunday.

Sorry.  I'll see you Thursday.

I may have to cancel for tomorrow, 5/3.  I'll post before 8pm tonight.

Does anyone make their own energy gel?  You know, something like a Gu  (http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Gel-Mandarin-Orange-24-Count/dp/B003V1TNJY).  If so, can you recommend a container to take it out on a bike ride?  Something squeezable (again, like a Gu) seems like a good way to go, but am glad to hear any suggestions.

I'm interested in bringing along more foods with me that I've put together myself.

Thanks,

Matt

Signature Cycles welcomes NYCC members to two special events in May.....

May 5th:

"Inside the Pro Peloton"

Can anyone explain the general difference between C and B rides in a little more detail than 'leisurely' and 'moderate'? I did look around the nycc site for more information, but perhpas I'm not lookign where I should be. It seems like the descriptions would refer more to speed, which should be indicated by the number listed with the letter, right? So is a B16 hillier or more technical than a C16? Thanks in advance for any clarification!
