Nice plug for NYCC on the Prospect Park website
Prospect Park attracts cyclists of all levels and abilities. Bicycling is permitted on the Park Drives, including the 3.35-mile loop, which hosts a range of cycling events throughout the year. Interested in racing? Kissena and CRCA are the two largest bike racing clubs in the city. NYCC is a great resource for beginner and non-competitive cycling.

Cyclist Struck and Injured on 9W (Sunday, Nov 30, mid-morning)
Cycling northbound on 9W this morning I observed, on the southbound side, three police cars with flasher lights, several bystander cyclists and what appeared to be an injured person prone on the pavement under a yellow heat blanket. This was less than a mile south of the turnoff to the Lamont Geological Observatory. The time was probably around 10:30 a.m.
A very touching holiday story of a bike messenger YOU WANT TO SUPPORT! Read and maybe act on this.

A mysterious leaking tube
A few weeks ago I noticed a low rear tire as I was cycling from Penn Station after a ride. It turned out to be a hole in the tube on the rim side. I could find no source of the problem. After I replaced the tube there was no air loss riding a week later (last Saturday on rocky trails).
The post is at it again

This part caught me by surprised "Witnesses told cops that Marshall, 31, was speeding the wrong way down West Drive, yelled at Tarlov to get out of the way, and then tried to swerve around her instead of braking."
Speeding the wrong way? Has that been reported already and I just missed it?
Friday Apres Thanksgiving Ride Slower Version
I have emailed all participants as well as the waitlist folks. Too much snow on the shoulders of 9W...it had been snowing all morning here in the Heights and tomorrow it will be ice. Ride cancelled.
