Judith Steyer is moving back to Stockholm next month and will be the first woman ever to be Sweden's Chief Rabbi.  She also will be responsible for other rabbis and synagogues in smaller Swedish cities.  I have enjoyed and will miss being on her rides, especially "Fishy Business".  I am sure that the members of NYCC join me in congratulating her on being selected and wish her success in this important and challenging position.    She is planning to join Stockholm's equivalent of the NYCC-- Frderikshov IF Cykelklubb (founded in 1926 with about 2,000 members).  There is an annual 30,000 cyclists event called "Vatternrundan"--300 km around a large lake.  BTW Backroads now has a tour between Copenhagen and Stockholm.

Here is a very nifty flow chart to help you locate and fix the problem...

A reminder that online voting ends tomorrow at noon.  

After that, you can vote in person at the membership meeting between 6-8PM.

Today I noticed several bikers on the side of the road with police on both my ride out and ride in to the city. Not sure if this represents a crackdown, but riders should exercise caution as always.

A friend sent me this. I haven't actually read it in it's entirety so I am not offering a supporting opinion of it. I just figured I'd post it for others to peruse.

Hi. I'm posting this for one of the Rapha gals. (Sorry, I don't know how to post the pics.)
