Over the years I discovered that several of my friends had died in MB--I'm not sure how I would have found out.

Those taking subway to start, take N train to transfer to R at 59th. Walk stairs to other side of tracks for R to 95th St. No R train at 36th St. station. Sorry for the sudden MTA changes. Alfredo

I'm not doing it this year, but there might be a NY Times reporter and photographer in the midst of this "unsanctioned" ride.

Much has been posted regarding the current contested race for A-Rides Coordinator.

I don't really care who gets elected.

But....

Anna will be a great A-ride coordinator. We need a veteran cycling coach who is not only passionate about group safety but is also willing to collaborate with others. 

After completing the A Classic SIG in 2011, she was selected to return as a leader. She also volunteered to lead rides and teach others on how to lead efficient and inclusive rides. She also co-authored of the A Classic SIG manual with Mitch Rubenstein, whom many of you know was the A Classic captain for more than a decade. This shows her ability to take feedback and work with others to create solutions and streamline processes.

Dear friends and cyclists: let’s help Anna become our new A-rides coordinator. The NYCC has never had a female A-rides coordinator, help us with your vote.
