I am not sure if I have the wrong area, but Monday's newsletter indicated that the stretch of Riverside Park between 59th and 72nd has involved a detour during the month of November and is now complete.  The stretch was operating normally last month but when I rode it on Monday night, there was indeed a detour onto the pedestrian path closer to the river.  I guess that this detour was postponed until now.  If this can be updated/corrected to reflect the estimated time we will have this detour that would be great.

(For you credulous types, no, not really.)

I just heard that we are sold out.  I will be at the venue tomorrow late afternoon to see if we can increase the capacity.  I will post something after 10pm tomorrow.  If possible, we will keep the price to $20 for another day or so.

Go directly, go immediately to the 18:40 mark.

Hello,

A few of you know that BTCNJ (Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey) has been working with Christy, Eden, Jody, Jorge, Paul and Carol about adopting a SIG-like training program for BTCNJ, because, as many of you know, there is nothing else like it anywhere else in the entire country, if not the world. The BTCNJ board approved a motion to go forward with a pilot program in Spring 2018 for which we are hoping to lure about 4-6 of you incredible SIG leaders to help us with the pilot. We are envisioning a shorter, 4-6 week program, and on Sundays, starting in March-April- ish, so as not to get in the way of your fantastic program.

The ride description had temporarily disppeared from the listing becuase it's awaiting re-approval after a revision. (if you haven't signed up, check back in a short while on the ride listing again)

Here's the skinny:

Several of us are a bit damaged from our 2017 riding, so instead of hiking/climbing Diamond Mountain, we're substituting a walk from the Bronx to Manhattan.

The group will depart promptly at 9:30am from the corner of 149th St and Grand Concourse--#2, 4, or 5 train (take 2-3rd car from the front to the 149th/Grand Concourse stop.) We'll walk to Filtered Coffee (under the 3rd Ave Bridge,) across some of the lower--not south--Bronx, and the Randalls Island Connector to Manhattan.

About 3-5 miles total, with many subway and bus bails. Please contact Marilyn or Ken if you plan to attend.
