Sad news from Lloyd's Carrot Cake

Submitted by anniewong on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 2:58pm

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.

best viewing spots for Prospect Park fireworks display this New Year's Eve?

Submitted by SRodetis on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 12:05pm

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.

Noxzema as Chamois Cream?

Submitted by ricrouleur on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 9:19am

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?

Excerpts Of Interest From the World Cup Cyclocross Race Two Days Ago

Submitted by RSchmon on Tue, 12/29/2020 - 12:12am

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

Smart Trainer Service?

Submitted by ty111 on Mon, 12/28/2020 - 1:22pm

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.

iPhone shut down due to cold temperatures

Submitted by tompatodonnell on Sun, 12/27/2020 - 10:44pm

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?

SIG 2021?

Submitted by neil_e_whitfiel... on Sun, 12/27/2020 - 7:31pm

So after the cruelty of doing the B-SIG orientation only for *the horror* to start before the first ride... does anyone know if the club is planning to run the SIGs in spring 2020?

And if so, will the SIGers from 2020 get first refusal or will it be a total do-over?

Thanks for any insight and replies, and apologies if i've duplicated a thread. 

Happy holidays all!

 

 

 

Getting zip ties taut, no special tools?

Submitted by isaacb on Sun, 12/27/2020 - 12:41am

I'm trying to mount an old-school wired computer & struggling to get the zip ties taut (to fasten the head unit to the stem.)

There's a special zip tie tool, which I don't have. I've seen recommendations to use a "fourth hand" cable tool, which I also don't have. 

Any recommendations on how to do this?

Thanks
