If you've thought about joining the SIG this year, we still have some openings for a C SIG Preview Ride on Saturday to New Jersey. The ride will be about 35 miles at a casual 13 mph pace. We'll be offering tips and coaching so you can get an idea of what to expect from the C SIG.

For those unfamiliar with the signup process you can find the ride listed under Rides/Events and click on upcoming rides.

Today the Port Authority Board of Commssioners approved at their monthly meeting our request to make the paths around the towers on the GWB ridable! We requested that the paths go around the towers rather than us being relegated to walking our bikes in these areas, per PA policy. Our request was included in the 10-year capital plan and will become part of the "Restoring the George" project, which is our earlier win (March 2014) for new entrances at all four ends of the paths. That win also included the removal of all 171 steps on the north path, the removal of the hairpin on the south path, new pedestrian/ride staging areas at both ends of the bridge,  dedicated bicycle path on one side of the bridge, and suicide fencing, totaling $118 million.

This year our Berkshires weekend will be from Friday, May 26 to Monday, May 29, 2017.

This year we'll have something new, a reserved block of 26 rooms at the Race Brook Lodge. Consider this if you'd like to stay in the same place as a lot of other NYCCers. They have a nice eatery attached, the Stagecoach Tavern.

I assume the roads should be good for Saturday. Anyone been up there this week?

Hey folks, 

We're seeing an issue with some ISPs (Yahoo particularly) rejecting emails from our server. We're working through that but don't be terribly alarmed if you don't get an email confirmation.

Just want to let everyone know that the B-STS sign-up will be via the ride listing page like the A-STS. We are working on getting the rides listed and our page to update this.

Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions. The coordinators are standing by and ready to answer questions!

It is ironic that the second Tuesday of February 2017, the kick of of the SIG series, would be on Valentine's Day. Yes, the SIG's help us all be safer, more competent, and helps us all have more fun on our bikes - all great stuff!  But what makes the SIG season, 2017 so special is it kicks off on Valentine's Day.  And more than any other reason, the SIG was started because there was love in the air back some 30+ years ago.  

Enjoy the history of the SIG;

My membership is valid, I find the page and at the bottom I see my email address but I do not see the Sign UP button.  What did I do wrong?

Anyone have a 2017 mileage log???

Thanks!
