Amy Klobuchar once cycled 145 miles in one day

By coincidence that's also just a bit  longer than  my longest ride(also in the Midwest!)  June 8, 1985  Saugus, Mich to Chicago 140 miles.  She was much younger than I.

Come join me for a virtual ride this Saturday, Jan 18, 2020

It's going to be really cold Saturday morning, and snowing in the afternoon.  If you want to ride, but don't want to deal with the weather, come join me for a Zwift ride.  There are 3 rides posted they all start at 9am.

See you there.

90 Minute Indoor Ride for Parkinson's Disease

Submitted by Francesca Villa on Tue, 01/14/2020 - 1:09pm

Hey NYCC,

I want to share a brand new event from the Parkinson's Foundation that is happening in NYC (and 6 other cities) on February 8th! Parkinson’s Revolution is an indoor cycling event that combines high energy cycling and fundraising to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease (PD). This year is our inaugural event and it’s also right in our backyard!

As we ramp up for the 90 minute ride, I wanted to invite our outdoor road cyclists inside for a day of indoor riding, training, and some fun perks (did I mention chair massages and champagne?)!

Status of Six Mile Run (mountain bike venue outside New Brunswick)

Submitted by HSchiffman on Mon, 01/13/2020 - 10:33pm

This posted from the Palisades MTB site a few days ago:

"Lots of people are wondering if SixMile is rideable, given the nice weather. The answer is a big fat NO. All should consider the trails closed for the next few months unless completely frozen (i.e. Below freezing for days)."

You can still order our custom NYCC merino jersey.

Tubeless Tires Pros and Cons

Submitted by mhsimkin on Thu, 01/09/2020 - 12:14pm

Hi:

I know I'm risking starting a war, but....

I'm trying to decide if I should convert to tubeless.  I have two bikes and both haves wheels that are tubeless ready, but I run them with tubes. Currently, one bike is on the smart trainer with the wheels stored away, and the other is awaiting it's next outdoor ride.  I typically swap bikes about every 6 months.  

For the outdoor ready bike it could be 1 - 2 weeks between outdoor rides.

B15-STS coleaders needed

Submitted by GoJaqs on Thu, 01/09/2020 - 10:30am

B-STS is 16mph and up, C-STS is 13mph resulting in a gap for mid speed riders.

I volunteered as a B-STS Coleader and am looking for other coleaders. Anyone interested can contact me or Michael Roth. We'd appreciate the help.
