. The completed 750-mile Empire State Trail is now fully open. The trail, which is now the nation's longest multi-use state trail, provides a safe and scenic pathway for New Yorkers and tourists to experience New York State's varied landscapes. The entirety of the Empire State Trail runs from New York City through the Hudson and Champlain Valleys to Canada, and from Albany to Buffalo along the Erie Canal.

Please remember to withdraw if you cannot make it.

For all of us who participate in the SIG (and those in-the-know) and race to get to Lloyd's for their fabulous carrot cake on our return from the Westchester rides, Betty Campbell-Adams, who started it with her husband Lloyd, has passed away.

The Park and other sites say Grand Army Plaza (but who wants to be amidst any crowds there) or along Park Drive West (maybe behind the Picnic House on the Long Lawn?) or along Prospect Park West between Grand Army Plaza and 9th Street. I'd lean toward PPW or the Picnic House???

Anyone have local knowledge/experience for feedback on these viewing sites and how crowded or practical they are, or can recommend some others?

I appreciate!

I believe I have a labral tear in my hip. Can anyone recommend a good doc to diagnosis and f/u? 
Thanks in advance.

I was watching a video of Chris Horner discussing cycling shorts. He said that he always used Noxzema instead of chamois cream. Given the price disparity between Noxzema and chamois cream this is an intriguing idea.

Has anyone ever tried this? If so, how did it work out? Alternatively, has anyone ever heard of this hack before?

Both men's and women's races were epic.  Van Aert beat Van der Poel (not easy in this event) in the men's.  In the women's race the emerging star American Clara Honsinger came second.  The mud and wet conditions were...well, a video is worth a thousand words.  I cut this brief montage from the Eurosport coverage:  http://youtu.be/1BXsAay9e7A

Does anyone know if there is a company/individual that makes house calls to service a Tacx NeoT2? Bringing it somewhere is out of the question at this time.

Thanks.

I prefer to navigate using RideWithGPS on my iPhone. However, this morning my phone shut down due to the cold. Is there a fix out there anyone is aware of? An insulated iphone holder for example?
