Anyone who has bought a ticket but unable to attend, let me know! I am looking to buy a ticket! Thanks!

Greetings all,

As many of you know, an FTP test should ideally be conducted on a flat, uninterrupted stretch of terrain (to the extent the test is performed outdoors and not indoors on a trainer). My question is this: assume (to keep things simple) it takes someone 20 minutes to do a full lap of Central Park (at threshold, much like an FTP test), and they are able to do so uninterrupted (e.g., very early in the morning or late in the evening). Given the rolling nature of CP, and based on power data that folks here have seen, should one expect the power output from that 20 minute CP lap to:

a. exceed (by roughly ___%)

b. fall short of (by roughly ___%)

c. be roughly equal to

Is anyone else bothered by the blobs of concrete on 110th as you head from Central Park to Morningside or Riverside? They seem to be multiplying, and now there is also a block full of rocks that don't get swept up by regular street sweeping. Any suggestions on how to report/fix this? It seems more complicated than a 311 matter.

If anyone cannot attend, please contact me.   I will help arrange to transfer the ticket and fee to someone on the overflow list.  Thanks, Bob ([email protected])

Note the list on the website only includes those who signed up initially.  I will bring the complete list to the party that includes the waitlist people and others who contacted me when we swapped places with those who could not attend.

Shouldn't every serious cyclist have one?

Here's the latest news on the Nyack side of the shared use path across the New New York Bridge, which will supposedly open to cyclists late 2018/early 2019: http://www.newnybridge.com/south-nyack-residents-get-first-look-at-shared-use-path-project-team-shares-new-renderings-designs-of-side-path-and-visitor-parking/

"Following South Nyack's overwhelming endorsement of "Alternative F" in March, the New NY Bridge project team has been working with Mayor Bonnie Christian and the village's Tappan Zee Bridge task force on the design of the Rockland end of the shared-use path."

I've too often and painfully heard many cyclists in the wider cycling community describe NYCC as an overly intimidating club.

Deserved or not, this shackles the club.

Promotion of this 'racing program' underlines this reputation, sending competitive cues into the world...in this case the wrong signal to many looking for a comfortable home.

It has a better home at CRCA in my view.

Disregard .... 

The 5 day cycling camp in Southern California is now a go. So far, we have over 20 folks who have indicated preliminary interest, but there's still plenty of time to sign up.  

The dates are Monday, February 27 - Friday March 3. (Plan to arrive Sunday, Feb 26.) The camp will be held in Temecula, about 50 miles north of San Diego.
