Good day,

Due to a change in plans, I'm having to sell my GFNJ ticket (transfer my bib, as they call it). I got mine at a discount, and will charge $100 even for it. Again, the event is on September 13th, and begins and ends in Morristown, NJ. A beautiful route, but one I won't be able to ride that day, sadly. I signed up for the 107-mile route, but you can choose any of the others if that's longer than you'd like (there's a 62-mile route and another shorter one or two). All supported very well, and a good time will be had, most assuredly.

Please contact me as soon as you can, and we'll make it happen. I'm at [email protected] and will reply quickly to you.

Many thanks!

Andy

Twice this summer we have had a chain break on a ride. in both cases someone on the ride was carrying a master link (Michael Roth on the newcomer's ride and me today) and we were able to repair the chain quickly and get our fellow club member up and riding. In one case we needed to remove a link because the cheeks had been bent and in the other we simply had to re-link the chain.

Master links can be purchased for a few dollars, weigh nothing and take up almost no space in one's kit. Be careful to get one that is compatible with your chain: for example, a link for a 9 speed chain won't fit a 10 speed chain (the chains are different widths).

Any thoughts on Master Bike Shop? I went there today because someone on a recent NYCC ride reccomended them since I ride a Bianchi and am looking for a new bike. Imbert seemed nice and helpful, he had 2 bikes that I would try and was willing to discount well. His list on the Bianchi was higher than the MSRP but after discount it's a good deal in my range.

At the 5th Precinct anyway.

Officer Polizzi (her real name), pictured third from left, is also a member/leader of ... NYCC.

The "Crafts at Lyndhurst" festival is taking place Sept. 18-20.  Every year during this festival, automobile traffic on Broadway/US 9 south of Tarrytown is hideous, backed up in both directions, with lots of cars entering and exiting the grounds at Lyndhurst (about 1/2 mile south of the Tappan Zee). You'd be wise to avoid that stretch on your bikes.
