Hi all @ NYCC!

I'm flying up to Brooklyn on Sat 20th (will miss the Nyack ride :( but I actually rode that one with you guys in 2004 on a cold day during Christmas

Anyway... I was hoping to join you guys for a few rides if possible.

Hello from Jen Rudin, your brand new VP of Programming.

Did anyone attend the Zen Bike Store event last night with a speaker from Descente? If so, I am curious to get some feedback on how the speaker and event fared.

You can reply here, or feel free to email [email protected]

Thanks

Jen Rudin

from RoadBikeRider:More than 30 years ago, Dr. Gabe Mirkin coined the term RICE for the treatment of athletic injuries. It stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. Now a study from the Cleveland Clinic shows that one of these recommendations -- applying ice to reduce swelling -- actually delays healing by preventing the body from releasing a hormone called IGF-1.

If you are having trouble seeing last night's release of the new site, you need to remove old suffixes from your bookmarks and re-bookmark just plain http://www.nycc.org. There shouldn't be anything like /index.html as a suffix to the address in your bookmarks. Get rid of the suffixes. I know that if you can't see the site, you can't read this post. But, you may stumble upon the solution yourself but not know why ... so this post may be of some use.

As of late last night, our website has been switched over to a much faster server with more processing capacity and more RAM. Now, pages load faster, and we should no longer have problems with time-outs, and the menus flutter less or hopefully not at all. The database that contains your information such as rides and posts was moved late last night so they should be up-to-date. However, the files were moved on Tuesday so that we could test on Wednesday. That means that if any file was uploaded on Wednesday, such as a photo for someone's profile, it will need to be uploaded again. It is possible that there weren't any. We are aware of other enhancements needed. This move puts us one big step toward being able to get started on more improvements over the coming weeks and months.

Just a headsup for gourmet opportunists who might even RIDE to a great cafe at Mt Kisco (50 trainride north of NYC from Grand Central) ...

I recently wrote a story for touring outfit Cicilsimo Classico (I believe founder Lauren Hefferon spoke at a NYCC meeting a while back) and they ran a little contest to win one of 5x $50 vouchers to Viavante - a nouveau Italian cafe run by cyclist and former Ciao Bella Gelato partner Carla Gambescia.

Unfortunately, the contest was buried so far down in my story I don't think anyone's seen it and snagged the 5x $50 vouchers!
