Dear Members,

Hi,

Could someone post the password to join the NYCC team for the Grand Fondo NJ? I'd like to register.

Thank you!

NYCC members, especially SIG graduates make great ride Marshals.  There are some great charity rides in the area and Marshaling is a great way to ride for free, help a charity, and promote safe cycling.  I am the fast-group captain this year and encurrige NYCC members to volunteer and ride.

"...killed in Manhattan on Monday morning when the Citi Bike he was riding collided with a charter bus....   ...when he swerved to go around a parked van, struck a bus next to him that was traveling in the same direction, tumbled off the bicycle and fell under the bus’s rear tires, the police said. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/12/nyregion/citi-bike-death-manhattan.html?

I want to ride to Croton Point Park this coming Saturday (6/17) at about 8:45 - 9:00 A.M. from upper Manhattan. Is anyone else interested or already planning to go? Please email me at [email protected]. I'm a B/15 - B/16 rider. Thanks!!

The best NYCC incentives deal is back for 2017: If you graduated a SIG this year and lead 4 cue sheet rides before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, you will be eligible for a free and fabulous NYCC Ride Leader jersey. 

Club members usually have to lead 14 cue sheet rides to get one of these jerseys, so don't pass up this oppportunity to put your SIG skills to use and get some great rides in.

Coyote running up and down 9D following my bike for a while. Never a dull moment in Putnam county

Thanks to the curiosity of Robert Meyer, a previously unexplored road descending from the Perkins summit was discovered. (Maybe rediscovered, but there are possibly hundreds of "perkins" search results pages and I tired of the review after 12.)
Anyway, as you ride around the tower at the summit, the road descends and you bear left before a small island and climb the short incline to get back on the main road for the descent.
If, at the island, you don't turn but continue straight you'll be on a badly worn road that continues down for a bit over 1mi. to a turnaround. Maybe 150 yds. before the end, there is a stunning overlook that yields an amazing vista. The price is a bit over 200 ft. of veritcal to make up.
And it's totally worth it.
