Gran Fondo NJ has a new course for next year called The Estremo: A double metric (125 mi) with 9,500 of climbing. 

Since The Estremo is limited to 200 riders, I've created an NYCC team for those who want to join (and who might welcome the team discount).

So email me if you'd like to join team NYCC Estremo....

No go

Thinking of signing up for The Ride To Montauk and riding all 150 miles at around B16/17. 

Anybody else doing the ride and fancy teaming up and having a go?

The Celebration of Life for Christopher Rae Jacobs will be held from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15, in the Skyline Room, Faculty House, Columbia University, 64 Morningside Drive, New York City, New York. We look forward to seeing all of his friends and colleagues from near and far.

Please RSVP  with Chris' wife Claire via email if you will be attending. [email protected]  

Join us! For the 11th year in a row we will be leading an "A" ride for Escape New York. All strong NYCC riders are welcome; not just those that are interested in racing next year. We will meet at around 6:45 AM at Sakura park and congregate right outside on the fence just south of the entrance, at 7:15 we ride. The pace will be steady and we will try to keep everyone together. 

I urged a ballot that would permit us to write-in candidates. I hadn't seen/read Peter's sticky regarding nominations which mooted what I wrote.

Sorry folks its too wet to ride. I will send you all an email about rescheduling the ride.

I know its te second smallest county in NY State but..
I had my second Putnam ride of the year and was checking out some of the segments. The number of people who rode them this past year is way under what you see in Harriman, Bear or Storm King areas that people ride wit Metro North assistance on at least one leg.

Putnam is great riding. Did the 78 mile Putnam classic route on Friday. Do people feel otherwise?

Still stripped as of noon today, August 8.

Generally speaking I'd recommend taking the center lane rather than the curbside lane, since the center lane is mostly free of plumbing and it will take you past the bus stop more smoothly.
