B16 laps in Central Park - Thursday, 3/16 - CANCELED
Sorry but the roads getting to Central Park are a mess with slush, snow, and ice. And the forecast is that it will be 22 degrees at 6am tomorrow. So, I'm canceling.
Adjusting handlebar tilt question
I noticed that when my shop put my bike back together, they didn't line up the mark I had on the handlebar with the stem, so it's tilting further away than I prefer. It's ok for ~20 miles, but not for 40+.
I won't be able to make it to my bike shop before my next ride, and this seems like something I can adjust on my own. My question is: when tightening those four (smallish?) bolts where the handlebar attaches to the stem, does it require anything more than making sure they are evenly tightened? Any special technique you'd recommend to making sure they are tightened evenly?
Sorry if this is a novice question, but thought I'd check with the bike-hive before I start tinkering.
Thanks!
Waiting Lists and Ride registrations
So I received a warning that I may be removed from registration from all rides that I'm registered for, and/or may have club privileges revoked, just because I put myself on a waiting list for a ride that I think I'd prefer to ride instead of the ride I'm registered for (and am not on that waiting list). The rationale expressed in the email is saying that I'm unfairly preventing someone from riding -- which isn't the case (the rides aren't for another couple weeks). I'd understand the warning if I had moved off the waiting list for the 2nd ride to being registered for two rides.

B16 laps in Central Park - Tuesday, 3/14 - CANCELED
Forecast of blizzard and wind chill of 15 degrees.
UPDATE - Wednesday CP Snowshoeing is Now CP Walk
Not enough snow to snowshoe in the city. Instead, we'll get together for a few hours of walking in the northern Central Park area. Expect a rambling route dictated by shoveled/unshoveled park paths enroute to that planned lunch at the Boathouse.
Meet 9:00am at Cafe Amrita, 301 West 110th @CPW for a capuccino or latte. Leaving Amrita at 9:30am. We'll walk in cold, cloudy, snowshowery conditions. We intend to carry our ice/snow-capable footgear in case an adventurous impulse strikes. Questions? Email Ken or Marilyn. Revisit this post before leaving home Wednesday morning for any updates.

Question About the (Former) Market in Piermont
Does anyone know what will become of that space? And if a new mini-supermarket will replace it, when will it open?
