Still waiting for the 2017 SIG badges!!!!!
Still. Waiting. Soon it will be 
Introducing the D-SIG (aka Dirt SIG)
We are very excited about introducing the new D-SIG (aka Dirt SIG) this spring. So much so we can’t wait until February’s official SIG club meeting to start talking about it. Brian Sullivan and I will be at the January 9 meeting to informally chat and answer any questions about the program.
This has nothing to do with cycling...unless you ride where there are drivers.
Spring Training Series (Sig & STS) railroad ride requests: Attention Sig & STS leaders
The A-Sig, A-Classic, D-Sig and A-STS contacts have submitted ride requests for trains for their ride series.
[notice that all the A groups are truly type A individuals]
Not all ride groups are so proactive. Don't wait till the last minute and find that you want train requests for dates that have already been claimed. Now is the time to get your schedule nailed down.
That is all,
Hank
I received a duplicate bike from Canyon USA: A short tale of customer service
I thought I’d share my experience with Canyon’s customer service, and just offer it up if you decide on buying from them. Hopefully if you do buy you don’t have to do anything that involves dealing with their customer service as I don’t know how that would go in other situations.

Thoughts on Chain Reaction Cycles
Hi.
I ordered two new Shimano cranksets from Chain Reaction Cycles, before I realized they are in Northern Ireland. They had pricing that allow me to save 42%.
I'm concerned that the cranksets are going to be gray market, or worse, since I need to deal with Chain Reaction for warrenty issues and not go to Shimano directly.
What is people's experience with Chain Reaction, especially when there is a defect in the hardware?
Should I trust that what I'm getting is the real thing?
Should I just sell the cranksets on eBay to recoup what I spent and then buy new cranksets on this side of the Atlantic?
Thanks

Join us at Tuesday's NYCC meeting - Challenges and Joys of Owning a Bike shop in 2018
Dear Members,
Rode about 180 days in 2017 (6,000 miles) and almost 200,000 miles lifetime (38 years of cycling)
Rode in all 50 states and all of the states/provinces of Australia & Canada plus 60 other foreign countries
More than half of the miles were with groups such NYCC and almost 100 group bike tours (mostly overseas)
The next time I am able to ride outside I am going to count how many pedal strokes I do in a mile and mutliply it by 200,000 to determine how hard these knees have worked
