Clif Bars, Shot Gel, and Shot Bloks at Fairway

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 2:59am

FYI:

Fairway sells Clif Bars (almost every variety) for $0.99 each. Clif Shot Gel is also $0.99 per packet, while Shot Bloks cost $1.69. These are regular prices, not promotional.

It's not really a savings vs ordering online from the right places, but these prices are a huge discount from other local outlets. Some bodegas carry Clif Bars for $2.25; Toga is selling Shot Bloks for close to $3. 

On the UWS original store, they're upstairs in the organic/healthy foods store (entrance/staircase upstairs is near the regular store checkout). In Red Hook, the Clif stuff is on a large rack lining a passageway (to the healthy foods section) directly across from the beef/pork butcher counter.

Saddles?

I need to purchase a road nike saddle and seatpost for the missus before next Sunday.  Where would folks advise us to shop in Manhattan. I don't think I'll have time to leave the city. Thanks.

For Sale: Kestrel Talon 52 cm Carbon Frame Dura Ace - $1095 (Upper West Side)

Submitted by MDonikian on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 1:02pm

Hi all,

I'm looking to selling my Kestrel Talon before I head out to Seattle in the coming weeks.  This bike has raced CRCA races, done the A-SIG Classic (twice), and done the Berkshires a couple times... a true NYCC bike... fitting that it should stay in NY and in the hands of a NYCC rider.

I have the posting on craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/2356506518.html

I will accept any serious offer.

Rooms available in Great Barrington

Submitted by MLoftis on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 12:09am

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the NYCC weekend in the Berkshires.  As a result, we had to cancel our reservations at Parry House in Great Barrington.  This is a small B&B within walking distance of downtown Great Barrington.  There are two rooms available.

Nice article on Gran Fondo NY (for whoever's riding it)

100-mile Gran Fondo will test cyclists, Rockland's preparations

NYACK — Thousands of bicyclists taking part in a 100-mile ride will pedal through Rockland on May 8 in a first-time event that will pose challenges to riders, and possibly motorists, too.

The Gran Fondo's course will bring cyclists from the lower level of the George Washington Bridge to Bear Mountain State Park and back — in less than 10 hours.

"There definitely seems to be a buzz," said James Skelley, owner of Nyack Bicycle Outfitters, who added that it may be the biggest ride ever to take place in Rockland.
