We need a coordinator for each of the three ride levels for the All Class Ride on Sunday, August 5.  You would need to:

• Determine new route or use last year's which I have
• Post Ride Listing and manage it
• Get other ride leaders
• Lead the ride and have a blast

Contact Jennifer and Bob at [email protected] and [email protected]

just learned about an app for IOS and Android called Epic Ride Weather

you connect to a route from Ridewithgps or Strava or a few other sources

you input date and time of ride start and your estimated speed

it then generates a set of charts showing temperature, precipitation, wind speed and wind direction based on the time and place you will be along the route

I believe it uses Dark Sky (another good app) as its data source

I just noticed that the printable membership card on the Membership Directory page is still from 2017. I know we're already half-way thru the year, but it would still be nice to have a 2018 version.

Thanks.

Please use extreme caution at the first descent before Harlem Hill. There are two large cuts in the road and no warning at the top of the descent. I reported this to The Central Park Conservancy only to be told this work was being done by the NYC DOT. Hopefully the cuts in the road will be filled today.

Hi guys, I am looking to get to bear mountain this weekend to practise some climbing and I would like to get there by public transport. I assume a lot of people just ride there from the city but I am not looking to do a super long ride and I just wanna hit the climbs. Can anybody please tell me how far the climb actually is up bear mountain and if it’s accessible by train from the city? Many thanks! 

That wretched, cratered road surface at the intersection of Lydecker & Glenwood has finally been repaved! Smooth as glass. It's the first time it's been repaved in the 25 years I've been riding these roads. And it's very recent - I went thru there last Tuesday and it was its usual mess.

Hi.  I'm an incredibly slow rider, but I think the NYCC and cycling are both terrific.  I switched to a flatbar road bike in hopes of finding a more comfortable ride.  However, I still find the seat becomes uncomfortable after a short time.  I'm trying all sorts of adjustments.  Has anyone else dealt with this?  I'd appreciate any thoughts and advice.

never mind.  redacted.

InTandem pairs sighted and blind people on tandem bicycles provided by Cannondale and KHS. We meet in Central Park on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings. All of our events are free. Come ride a Cannondale Road tandem with Ultegra and belt drive or a smooth Cannondale 29er tandem. It gives you a special gentle core workout you can't get any other way that will make you more stable when you get back on your single. We give you all the training you need to be safe and enjoy the ride. You can't beat the motivation of another person with whom your pedals are linked. You don't have to be a strong cyclist to enjoy. I ride C-12.
