GFNY for Level B/C riders
Curious to hear if others who are B/C level have competed and completed the GFNY. I would love to train with others for the May 16, 2021 GFNY race who can do A level speeds down hills but prefer to granny gear it up hills over a 100 mile course. Totally up for a race to beat the ten hour cutoff. In my age group 50-54 m-f I see that participants in 2018 completed the course over ten hours and still appear on the finisher board. Would love to hear from others who want to begin training in 2021 with rides, nutrition prep, and anything else that will make the day fun and memorable.

BIKES ON AMTRAK - NEW YORK STATE
New York State with a Bike & By Train By Harvey Botzman NYBC announced “Amtrak’s Carry-On Bicycle Service” is now available on all Empire Service and Maple Leaf trains traversing New York State. The NYBC’s representative to the Amtrak/Adventure Cycling Association Bicycle Task Force, has worked for many years to achieve this bicycling infrastructure on Amtrak’s New York State trains. No longer is there a need to drive a car to a start location along the “lateral line” of Amtrak & the Erie Canalway/Empire State Trail when bicycle touring. Hurrah! |

"Sponeed" and "Baleaf" gear?
Hi:
I've seen cyclists on the road wearing kit with unfamiliar names like "Sponeed", "Baleaf" and a few others that slipped my mind.
A little research seems to show that these are Chinese manufacturers that primarily sell direct on Amazon. (Amazon appears to favore that sellers have trademarks, so "no name" products get names, even if they're just "ERKLEHNT.")
