Early news reports are saying the worlds current #1 cyclist, Chris Froome, has tested positive for an increased amount or an unauthorized amount of his own asthma medication. As a result he has already been stripped of his 2017 Vuelta a España titile. Not a huge fan of Froomie, but tons of respect for what he's accomplished in cycling. Here's hoping this is a big mistake and not another black eye on the already suspect sport of cycling. 

Several board members are leaving the board as of 12/31/2017.

We will miss them;

·         Jim Finder – ‘B’ Rides Coordinator.  Jim’s been on the board for 3 years.  I never counted, but I’d bet we had more ‘B’ rides than all other rides combined.  Was that Jim’s doing?  I‘d bet yes on that as well.  The guy can’t help himself, he’s already volunteered to organize 2018’s NYCC weekend in the Berkshires.

          Thank you, Jim

I'm looking to replace the factory default tires on my bikes. I welcome suggestions as to what I should get.

One bike has Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite, 700x25c.  The other bike has Michelin Dynamic Sport, 700x28c.

I'm not a racer.  If I ride 1,000 miles between both bikes in a year, I would be happy. I ride for exercise and enjoyment. therefore I'm willing to trade weight/speed/rolling resistance for durability/handling.

I'm hoping to me more active next year.

Thanks
