Winter bike boots. Anyone use 45NRTH Wolvhammer?

Submitted by mgeller1 on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 7:05am

I'm using Lake boots, but noticed this solution has its limits in the mid 20's. I hear the Wolfhammer can take it own to zero Farenheit. Any users?  Had to add Toe Warmers on Saturday.

Loire Valley: seeking advice for possible July tour

Submitted by DBear on Sun, 01/18/2015 - 5:01pm

We're planning a bike trip from Angers to Blois next summer. Interested in limited use of a touring company (bike rental, self-guided itinerary, hotel reservations, luggage transport) and considering "Detours in France" for this. Anyone had experience with this company or have suggestions of others?

OK, OK: that's a terrible tease of a headline for this. Blame it on my shabby advertising background.

But, being partially left handed, I'll start with a postscript: It's not generally known the designation of Lifetime Member extended me had a condition attached to it: it is predicated on my cutting back the number of posts I put up on the MB. If I fail to reduce them, the designation may be rescinded. (Start counting: but, as in all things, don't look for my compliance.)

Sunday's C14 Pancake ride is cancelled

Submitted by PHofherr on Sat, 01/17/2015 - 10:44pm

The weather gods don't seem to be cooperating so Sunday's pancake ride is cancelled.

We will try to re-schedule within the next few weeks. Hope to see you then.

Submitted by JOlson on Sat, 01/17/2015 - 6:43pm

Does anyone knop how to scroll back on the Club's Facebook Timeline to previous years -- you know, so that I can see the glorious photos of 2012 etc when I took the SIG and was in good shape?

Dang that uncooperative weather. 3 weather services show Sunday with consisent rain often heavy, plus snow forecast for up north along the Hudson and in the environs of the Hudson River Museum. I've cancelled the Peacock bike ride. 

Mahopac / Northern Smoke BBQ - updates

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Fri, 01/16/2015 - 3:37pm

Right off the bat: We've bumped the ride to Sunday, if you hadn't gotten a note about that. 

Sunday will be warmer, but the ride might still be called off because of potential rain. As a matter of fact, if the current forecast holds up... we'll attempt to schedule it next Saturday again. You'll get a note tomorrow if you're signed up for the ride; updates will also be posted here. 

Oh, that fickle January weather... at one point we were supposed to have two good riding days!
