Looking for an UWS Tandem Rider
Hi All!
My name is Sheena -- I'm a blind bike enthusiast looking for partners willing to do Tandem biking with me. I live on the UWS, but am game to go anywhere! Please email or call me anytime for us to figure something out.
Thanks!
Clove Platte Rd, aka Devil's Kitchen
I was unofficially requested to give my impression on ascending Devil’s Kitchen, officially known as Clove Platte Rd. There is a NYCC ride up it planned. Certainly others can bring more to the table, but I'm happy to share what I know. As a disclaimer, I’ve only done it perhaps 3 times; some racers do it multiple times in a single race. Perhaps I was asked because I am a veteran of Mt Washington, having a great day in the first Newton's Revenge. I believe I've done it every year since 2001, even getting in the practice ride the year it was canceled. I'm almost as old the the mountain itself.
Looking for a good bike shop in Manhattan for eTap tuning
Looking for a bike shop based in Manhattan that really knows how to setup eTap systems. I've got a slight issue with my front derailleur not shifting perfectly. Many of the bike shops I've encountered so far don't have a lot of experience or expertise with eTap and aren't very helpful. I've read online that it's a very precise setup so I'm looking for a bike shop that really knows what they're doing with this. Thanks a lot!
Berkshires weekend: Seeking one or two riders to share a zipcar from Manhattan
Greetings,
I have a zipcar reservation from 3 PM Friday the 26th through 3 PM Monday the 29th, in uptown Manhattan. It's a Jeep Renegade, which should hold up to three people and bikes (wheels off). I can get a rear rack too, just in case.
It's gonna run about $500, so I'd be happy to cost-share with one or two others.
Here's what you want to know about Andrew McCabe, the acting director of the FBI
"But Mr. McCabe, a triathlete known for biking 35 miles to work from Virginia...."

Q: Is that 35 miles one way or r/t? Times says "to." Maybe he loads his bike into a limo for the ride home. Still, all in all, impressive.

The rides on Sunday will start at the same location. We suggest you bring a rain jacket just in case.
Happy maintenance day!
