We are a recreational bicycle club. The club's new all-embracing sponsorship package to gain sponsors (sic; yes, sponsors ($$$) for a bike club) holds out as a reason for potential ($$$) sponsors to ($$$) sponsor us is they can thereby influence our members, the better to sell us their products. Yep, business; and the business of business is to...sell, sell, SELL! The entire package reads as a college marketing student's paper and project. Someone wanting to put into practice what he learned in business school with us as his commercial plaything. But, yessss. $$$$$$! For us! For our recreational bike club. Fun!! 

Hi:

I'm looking for someone to ride with.  

All these routes are 50+ miles with 3,000 feet of climbing.

The catches:

• minimize rest breaks, typically no more than 5 minutes, and they are not planned.  We stop when we need to use a restroom.
• start as early as possible.
• pace between 12 and 14.

I have several routes that start and end at Sloatsburg/Suffern stations or ride back to Nyack.  I have 3 - 4 routes that go around/through Sterling Forest, Harriman.  All paved.  I know the roads are open as the routes were provided by someone that lives in that area. We would need to be on a 9am train from Penn.

I'm having a derailleur emergency and need a part tomrrow (so I can ride this weekend.) The second metal cylinder/bushing from this "narrow" 8 speed Shimano rear derailleur vanished on me. It is approximately 6.5mm tall. Might someone in Manhattan have one I can adopt? If not, would you have an older "narrow" pulley? Barring that, anyone have a spare 8 speed capable rear derailleur, with a longish cage? Thanks!
