Escape New York - Is It Possible to Change Ride?

Submitted by TravelAsh on Sat, 09/06/2014 - 9:20pm

I've been all over Active.com and the FAQs here for Escape NY. Is it possible to change the ride you're registered for? I'm registered for the century and need to change to the half.

Thanks,

Amy

Early Morning Traffic on Brooklyn Bridge - September 7th

Submitted by MTownsend on Sat, 09/06/2014 - 6:32pm

Anyone looking to ride over the Brooklyn Bridge in either direction tomorrow morning would be well advised to take the Manhattan Bridge.

The route for the NYC Century takes riders over the Brooklyn Bridge and there is very little room for anyone else.  If you're travelling from Brooklyn to Manhattan there is even less room.

Save yourself the aggravation and take the Manhattan Bridge.

To the Membership:

Prominent members and the Board have worked diligently to propose updates and improvements to the NYCC by-laws.  Outlined below is the existing text (if any); the proposed new text for each amendment; and notes explaining why the changes are being proposed.  Highlights:

- creates a better, more fair process to remove a member's status

- authorizes Board to delete, as well as add, elected positions

- enables Board Officers to appoint individuals and form committees

- adds boilerplate "conflicts of interest” language 

- raises quorum for Membership Meetings

Last minute A-Ride added for Sunday 9/7: Beacon via Storm King>NYC

Submitted by BRoss on Sat, 09/06/2014 - 10:19am

For the seemingly tiny handful of NYCC A-riders *not* doing the New Jersey Gran Fondo tomorrow, we've submitted a last-minute ride from Beacon over Storm King through Saddle River back home to NYC:

The wind is expected to be from the north on Sunday so let's ride south all day. We'll follow the A-SIG route from Beacon. The climbing is front-loaded going over Storm King and some of the climbs west of 9W to the Orchards. Following a few rollers after the Orchards we'll have mostly downhill 15-mile run.

Child bike trailers

Submitted by MGrinthal on Fri, 09/05/2014 - 8:18pm

I'd love to hear recommendations for bike trailers for toddlers.  My daughter is 16 months old, 24 lbs, and I figure it's about time we go for the hour record together.

Thanks!

Annual Andiamo Motorcycle Ride Sunday

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Fri, 09/05/2014 - 3:00pm

Thousands of motorcycles will be riding along this Sunday from Hardenburgh to points unknown.  Their website in the past does not clue us in as to route, so just be aware.  They usually take 501 north and Palisades or 9W back.

Repaving at top of Alpine

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Fri, 09/05/2014 - 2:57pm

The road leading from the PIP at the top of Alpine climb to 9W has been repaved and is magnificent!  However, there is the equivalent of a speed bump (IN BLACK) where you turn right, going north, into the parking lot of the PIP.  It's difficult to see till you get right up on it.  It is going to remain as is, but will hopefully be painted yellow or white at some point.

Last few weeks there's been a great deal of crushed stone left on the road due to repaving. Anyone know if Rockland sweeps the roads to remove all the excess stone. It's making rides back from Motts Farm and Lake Toriati particularly unpleasant.
