...and if so, where?

I have heard talk of a police crackdown on bicycles in Central Park - that our permission to carefully ride through red lights in the early morning hours prior to 8:00 AM has been revoked.  I have spoken to several people who have since ridden in the park in  the early morning hours and they have seen no evidence of this.  Does anyone have additional information about this? 

Thanks,

Christy

One of our new ENY events this year is the 25 mile escorted ride lead by experienced NYCC leaders.  We thought this would be a great way to introduce the club to new cyclists and interest those who may feel more comfortable riding the route with an experienced leader.  The ride was limited to 20 participants and it filled very quickly. 

I need two co-leaders.  This will involve at least a one day commitment, but preferably two days.   

On scouting day we will scout the space where the drills will be held, go over a few items, then scout the 25 mile route.   

All,

I'm flying back to the UK for 3 weeks from 20th Aug - 10th Sep to do a Land's End to John O'Groats (1000 miles) charity fund-raiser ride for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research (read more @ http://lejo.gs) and am requesting the club's help finding a bike travel bag to rent or borrow. If any members have a bag that I could rent or borrow, preferably of the soft clam-shell variety (which I think should be good for my $800 Cannondale on a direct BA flight JHK>LHR), I'm happy to put down a deposit for the replacement cost, in case of damage, etc.

I've checked the NYCC Marketplace and while I do see one bag for sale, I'd prefer to rent/borrow if I can find one that's cheaper than buying!

On Saturday morning, I was riding with some friends to get to the start of the Summer Streets route on east 72nd. (The 3 of us in my family weren't actually staying on the route very long; we used it to get even with the QBB entrance.)

Coming from the west side as we were, I figured we'd use the counterflow segment of the Terrace Drive to go west-to-east, and avoid the park lower loop.

Is this road generally safe for solo rides? Just wondering/planning.

From the hometown news. The latest from Paul Kimmage.

Several people have withdrawn from tomorrow's ride because their Saturday ride left them exhausted. As of this writing, there are 4 openings for tomorrow's ride to Olana . It's a great route lots of unbroken cycling with a stop in historic Red Hook and then on to Olana where we will have a group tour of the house and gallery after lunch.

On the way back we ride through the Vanderbilt estate.

Westchester Cycle Club's Golden Apple is August 31, out of Golden's Bridge, NY.

This is a don't miss ride- Metro North is waiving bike limitations for the day, and WCC is providing bag check for train riders only.

As with Escape New York, the Golden Apple is completely staffed with volunteers who take great pride in creating a fun and safe day. Come enjoy the beautiful scenery of Westchester County, great food and support, and a cookie bake-off (vote for your favorite homemade cookies at the rest stops).
