Outdoor 20 Minute FTP Test Location Suggestions
Hi all!
Have just moved to the States and am getting a little more serious with cycling, to the extent that I just bought a power meter (PowerTap P1 - highly recommend). I'm looking for inspiration on a good location to do a 20 minute FTP test (i.e. relatively constant gradient, no stop lights, no pedestrians etc.) in Manhattan, Brooklyn or NJ. Ideally I'd do it at Bear Mountain, alas it is a bit far away for an FTP test...
Appreciate your thoughts!

A SIG Weekday Training Schedule?
Hi all,
I'm interested in training with the A SIG next year, and I know that riding midweek is a key requirement. Can one of the leaders or recent grads tell me which weekday(s) you typically ride? My work schedule makes mornings difficult, so I'd like to get a head start on moving things around for next year.
Thanks,
Ilya
Metro North train request deadline
I was just advised from the Metro North Bike Group liaison that ride requests for the coming weekend must be submitted by me noon, the Tuesday before the weekend.
Since I actually have a full time job, your requests must be submitted to NYCC in your ride submission by Monday at the latest.
Your submission is safer by getting them in Sunday, leaving wiggle room.
Bike during my lunch breaks?
Greetings again NYCC,
This time I am posting not representing the Shimano Bike NYC shop, but rather as an employee with a question.
None of this message or this thread is a reflection of the opinions and ideals of Shimano.
That being said, I work at shimano bike nyc down in soho, and i like to take the bikes out on my lunch break to explore the city.
My breaks are about an hour, but after eating i really only have about 40 min to ride.

OH MY! An artsy-foodie Labor Day Weekend Trip to the Fields at OMI
Well, while we were being rained on for Day 2, sounds like there was a lot of "clothing optional" banter back here! All in all the trip was a success despite the downpour on the O-day (Omi day). We exerted a few extra carbon emissions zipping around in 2 vehicles seeing Hudson, Olana House and Omi regardless, basically making sunshine despite the rain. A couple of people smartly did the Omi loop on the Saturday when it was fine (with the help of gasoline).
