Planning a cycling trip to France in July. Discover France Adventures offers reasonably priced support (luggage transport, hotels and self-guided routes). Anyone ever toured with them (or even heard of them)? Advice requested! Thank you.

The weather forecast for Saturday is dismal.  We're going to try for Sunday but if the roads are icy or snow covered, we will cancel Sunday so check back here to be sure.

Last summer, 14 NYCCers participated in the Cycle Greater Yellowstone ride - 7 days of amazing cycling in and around the Grand Tetons.  Our group included A and B riders - and there were C-level riders in the larger group - and a great time was had by all.  This year's ride expects to be just as amazing, and will begin and end in Red Lodge, Montana.  Information on the ride can be found at www.cyclegreateryellowstone.com.  

There will be an information session on Tuesday, January 27th, with Geoff Stephens, former New Yorker and current Ambassador for the ride.  The event will take place at 6:30pm at EMS at 530 Broadway (between Prince and Spring).  Free, of course, with drinks and snacks provided.

NYPD at work!

Normally would put this on the Out-of-Bounds calendar but this usually fills up so quickly that it's not possible to buy last-minute normal-price registrations a month before the event. So if you know you want to do it, head over there... http://www.bike.nyc/

We're planning a self-guided tour of the Loire Valley in July and looking for a good (& reasonable) tour company for our accomodations, bike rentals, route maps, etc. Anyone have experience with "Detours of France" or have a recommendation?

Queens sorely needs more bike lanes and trails. Here's a petition urging the completion of one:
