Looks like "wet" will hold off . . . both during the parade and for we adventuresome, calorie-burning souls. However temps will be brisk, so dress warm and in layers.

See you ready to roll (please arrive in time to sign in) at 7:30AM from 72/Riverside Drive. Brief stop in Piermont (Bunburry's and the Country Market are both open).

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Best,
Susan

Very Very nice set of Cosmics that have never been crashed.

I Upgraded to Ksyriums and kept these as back up wheels but haven’t used them since. Right after I took them off the bike I had them Trued and overhauled. They are 700’s (normal road bike size)

At the moment there is a like new 9 speed Ultegra Cassette, and a used pair of Michelin Axial Pro Tires on the rims. I’ll consider leaving the cassette, tires and tubes on for serious offers. These wheels are fantastic.

It would be easier to decide which postings to read if the "Topic" included a bit more information. Space to do that could be gained by tightening up on the real estate now given to "Created" -- do we really need to know the precise second a new posting went up? -- and to eliminating "Last Reply" -- is that urgent info? Those interested can find out by reading the, well, last reply.

This is not to disdain the new design -- a huge job -- but a small suggestion to make it more user-friendly, at least for this user.

Best I can tell from the NYC Cycle map, I can cross the 3rd Ave bridge, travel up 3rd ave to East Treemont Ave and then right into Silver Beach. Is this a safe route? I don't know much about the bronx. Is this a smart route? I'm no stranger to Bklyn, but the bronx is an unknown.

Any suggestions?

(if anyone wants to join, I'm leaving from Prospect Park @ 9:00am, tomorow (so I can beat the rain) )

I plan to do a ride on Thursday 9ish while the turkey is in the oven. if the weather is decent, and you wish to join me, please email.

Looking for a good route out of Newark going west towards Bernardsville.

I need a bike computer to train with that has back lighting. Does the Garmin back lighting stay on for any lenght of time?

Excerpt:

"...When overnight she shut down an entire turning lane on a busy avenue in Brooklyn so that pedestrians could cross the street in peace, the community thought she was a saint. But later, when she didn't so much as reply to a letter from Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz asking her to reconsider the addition of a bike lane that could slow traffic considerably, a lot of Brooklyn wanted to lock up her paint cans. But she didn't have to answer to him. She had the power to do just as she pleased.

The bike lane was painted in.

Anyone interested in purchasing this? I used it twice and then took it off. Wireless cadence, Comes with everything, but might require the Strada bracket band because i cut the extra length off ($5 on their site). Can meet up. Looking for around $80.

It looks like the weather is going to cooperate so come on out to Central Park for the last R&D laps of the year. It's been a great season--starting with the SIG all the way through Thanksgiving weekend. It's warm-ish, dry-ish, the park is empty-ish, and we'd love to see everyone one last time!
