new Sunday ride posted - to Gothic castle/mansion Lyndhurst

Submitted by SRodetis on Fri, 04/06/2018 - 4:43pm

It'll be gorgeous on Sunday, and I was inspired to create a moderate length/pace ride to a beautiful castle overlooking the Hudson (train back).

Take a look and you're welcome to join.   Early out, early back. Or hang around a bit on the beautiful grounds at the castle for the special antique and flower shows.

This is a good recovery ride if you SIG-ed it on Saturday.  We'll  have steady pacing, no rush/pushes, and lots of fun and pretty.

Enjoy the w/e and cherish this harbinger of SPRING!

Check your email for directions if you're on the roster. 

have you tried on current NYCC Verge jerseys. jackets, vests?

Submitted by RLMeyer on Fri, 04/06/2018 - 1:07pm

The jerseys are a "relaxed" cut.  The jackets and vests seem to be a "fitted" cut.

Have you tried these on?  Would you recommend that you go one or two sizes up for the fitted cut?

I seem to be a large in the jersey, would you recommend an XL or 2XL in the jacket and vest.  I dont want too loose but neither do I want pulling under my arms from too tight.

note:  i have seen the charts. I am asking for real world feedback.

thanks

FIXED, THANK YOU FOR THE HELP - - Roboviva rejecting RWGPS route numbers

Submitted by SRodetis on Thu, 04/05/2018 - 10:39pm

 

I've created several new RWGPS routes that have received 8-digit route numbers.

Copy/pasting them into the snuggl.es/roboviva link from our NYCC message board notes - - I keep getting the response  ".... is not a valid RideWithGPS route".   Plus a frowning smiley face.

Any suggestions or work arounds? How do I make it work to get to a pdf/cue sheet?

 

Appreciate suggestions.

Possible Good News on GWB

As of this morning the barriers that narrowed the sidewalk on the NJ side of the bridge have been removed. A crew was sweeping the sidewalk and they told us the barriers would not come back. So, fingers crossed, that hassle may be done with.

Bananas vs. Sports Drinks? Bananas Win in Study:

Charlie Komanoff, former NYCC member, possibly a past meeting speaker, and, very likely, one of the worlld's most effective, most productive, most important bike advocates, is cited in this op-ed about the failure of Albany to address congestion pricing. (...Not that that's news about that collection of feckless souls that is our State Executive, Assembly and Senate.)
