We've still got room for more at the cyling camp that's been set up for NYCCer's in Temecula, CA the last week in February. We have a nice group going so far, but the more the merrier. Again, the dates are Feb 23 - 27.

The riding's great and varied enough to accommodate folks of a wide range of abilities and the instruction and clinics are top notch. And the wine's pretty fantastic, too. It's a great way to shake off the winter cobwebs and get in shape for the Spring riding season. (And a great way to prep for the SIG!)

As there has been a drop-off in those wanting to build a bike wheel from scratch, added this year is a component for those who only want to learn how to true their wheels.

Building? Bring a hub, rim (ideally with the same number of holes as the hub), and spokes (one for each hole, preferably the right length--consult me if in doubt); go home 3-ish hours later with a perfectly built wheel you'll have built yourself.

Truing? Bring your wheel, the more deformed the better. Go home 45 mins. later with a perfectly trued wheel you'll have trued.

When: A Saturday or Sunday in January or February, to be decided by the class.

Where: Our Lady of Peace church on East 62nd Street.

Cost: $0.

Registration: Closes Jan. 10

A. Stop and see if the guy needed help.

B. Continue home and call lawyer.

C. Have another drink.

I just rode to the Rockaways today, and found the greenway at Plumb Beach has been paved. No more slogging through the sand or trying your hand at cyclocross.

I also checked out the greenway on the north side of the peninsula. The end toward the Gil Hodges Bridge has been rebuilt, but the eastern section is as bad as ever.
