Hi NYCC pals!

Just a friendly reminder that CRCA will be hosting its annual Grant's Tomb Criterium (p/b ROKA Sports) this Saturday, March 9. The loop around Grant's Tomb Memorial on Riverside Dr + W120th -> Claremont ->W122nd St will be closed for most of the day (racing happens between 7:20AM - 5:30pm). Full schedule here: https://www.bikereg.com/crcagrantstombcrit

If you are riding by, please obey any instructions by Marshals. You may need to detour or walk your bike on the sidewalk. 

I suppose I am at fault for not checking the PA website:

The GWB Sidewalk is closed due to adverse weather. Updates will be posted as they become available.

If goodness is its own reward, the failed attempt to drop my bike off for servicing was inconsequential.

This link is to information about the Cycling in the City exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York (Fifth Ave. at 103rd St). It opens Mar. 14 and closes Oct. 6. https://www.mcny.org/exhibition/cycling-city

The subtitle of the exhibit is: a 200 Year History. Q: What's likely wrong with that subtitle? Your answer: ________________

The greenways and bike paths on our route will likely not be in good shape, and streets are still too messy.  Ride will be relisted for March 9.

I'm thinking of riding up to Nyack tomorrow AM and wonder what the condition of the shoulder along 9W is like - clear or covered in snow?  Has anyone been on 9W today?

Hey A-SIG leadership team 

@Douwe Busschops @Michael Gately

im new to this and not sure how to reach you guys. I’m getting ready for our #ride 1 meetup at 8.30am. It’s 6.45am and my street outside my window is covered in snow. I want to to come out and ride but it seems it not to safe to do so. Just confirming we are still going ahead with the ride today ?

thanks

Nelson

RIDE CANCELED

The B BSIG orientation and timed laps are on for Saturday, March 2.

Rest assured that we are monitoring the weather closely. While rain and perhaps some light snow will continue overnight and through the early morning, the road surface conditions should be fine, especially by the time we head out to Prospect Park.  We will have SIG leaders ride the course in advance just to make sure.
