Several weather forecasts continue to say 100% chance of rain Saturday.  We will therefore postpone the C-SIG classification ride to Sunday, March 15.  However, because of the Half-Marathon, there is a change in both start time & starting location.

Start Time: 11:00 a.m.

 . . . I recently returned from a terrific week of cycling in the Spanish countryside. If this is on your bucket list you should look at GironaCycling @ Mas Pelegri. My hosts, Gareth & Fiona, run a great bike camp from their gorgeous farmhouse just outside of Girona, in Serinya. The Catalonian countryside is lovely in the foothlls of the Pyreenes, there are some killer climbs in the area (Els Angels, Rocacorba) the food and wine are great. Lots of pros train in the area, and I saw many teams on the road, all like me, taking advantage of the mild temps. And the week-long camp is quite reasonable. It was heaven . . .

This is a really fun event that I have attended in past years on the day before the NY Gran Fondo. This year all may attend, not just Fondo participants. I know my friend Paul Wood of Black Bear Adventures will be exhibiting, along w/ lots of the sponsors for the NY Gran Fondo (past years included Campy, bike manurfacturers, nutrition booths, clothing, etc.)

No use waiting any longer to make the call. The B SIG ride for Saturday, March 14 is postponed to Sunday. BUT NOTE NEW MEETING PLACE:  Grant's Tomb, Riverside Drive at 122nd Street. We'll begin at 9:30, so arrive no later than 9:15. 

The forecast for Friday evening/Saturday morning calls for more than a 1/2" rain.

Please check w the leaders of the group you're in this Sat for cancellation/resched information.

Hi Everyone,

I know we will be stopping for lunch throughout the season during our rides. Do we need to get locks for our bikes?

Thanks!

We are currently looking into the possiblity of having a club ride to Montauk on May 30th. We'd like to know if people are interested.

There are details in the survey description, but we would like to do this in a way where we can take a large group of people (40+) and have them return to Manhattan the same night - for this, we'd have to arrange some private transport facilities.

Note: This ride in no way resembles the charity or commercially-run rides to Montauk produced by third-party organizations. The concept is to plan a workable NYCC club ride with Montauk as the one-way destination, and it will be mostly like other everyday NYCC member-planned club rides on the ride calendar.
