Submitted by CGuzzetta on Tue, 05/24/2016 - 10:04am

Just heard from a member who reserved a room at the Stavleigh House in Sheffield and can't make it for the weekend after all.

Don't know details, but if you are interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Baton Rouge Biking

Submitted by dgreenfield on Tue, 05/24/2016 - 9:15am

I'm moving to Baton Rouge, LA in July and am desperately seeking a cycling group in the area. I know there is Baton Rouge Bike Club but it is nowhere near as superb as NYCC. I figured I'd give it a shot and see if anyone knows of any groups in the area. Thanks in advance!

NYC Century- NYCC group(s)?

Submitted by BrianS5 on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 8:03pm

Hi all, 

I recently signed up for the NYC Century (will be my first century). Perhaps we can get NYCC group(s) - A,B,C levels sorted out - thoughts? As a pro-tip there was a discount code when I signed up (NYCC15) which saved $15. There's a chance the code is still valid.

Looking for B18 level weekday ride group

Submitted by branimal on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 8:17am

Ride: I ride from West side highway "Greenway" @ Houston Street north to GWB and back.  Route is greenway to 72 street, then north on Riverside drive to 165 street, then right on 165 street and left St nicholas north to the GWB.   Happy to either turn around at 165 street if group doesn't care to go to bridge OR go over GWB.  Trip is roughly 20-25miles RT.

Time: I leave around 2-3pm.  Happy to do later if that suits other riders.

 

Thanks

Seat Post Mounted Rack experiences..

Submitted by Sir Roger on Sat, 05/21/2016 - 7:41pm
Hi all, anyone have experience with seat post mounted racks. I am a roadie.. no eyelets .. And am thinking about doing some Credit Card touring.. 2 nights three days sort of thing. 
Looking for a way to get a day packs worth of weekend gear on the back of the bike in a minimal way.. (without wearing it on my back ..)
Can these racks damage the seat post ? I have a Titanium seat post but could get a less expensive alloy one for my trips.
 
Whats the general consensus..
