Message Board

I have voted "no" on the proposed changes to the bylaws.

Submitted by JFinder on Tue, 10/25/2022 - 9:16pm

As far as I know, today is the first time the membership has been informed of the proposed changes, which are attached to the annual ballot.

There should have been a reasoned presentation to the membership way before now. At the very least, I'm surprised the Board hasn't sought to build political support for the amendments.

According to the revised bylaws, the Membership Director would no longer be required to "maintain a roster of Club members on the Club website." This requirement is proposed to be deleted from the present bylaws. The Membership Director would have other responsibilities, but not including maintaining the roster. As far as I can see, no officer would be responsible for maintaining the roster.

Anyone have recommendations for routes in and around Saratoga Springs in the 30-40 mile range?  I see many on RideWithGPS, but would like what others in the club might have done.  Thanks.

Not 48 hours after we all returned from Southampton, Neile Weissman has circulated route improvements for next year's edition. Is anyone more committed to this Club than Neile?

Leaves have color up north: get out and ride

Submitted by HSchiffman on Wed, 10/12/2022 - 11:12am

Rode trails in the hills above Cold Spring and Garrison yesterday (10/11) and leaves are showing their color.

No insects, unencumbered riding weather. Trails are in great shape.

Rain tomorrow, but Friday and Saturday look promising. 

Get out and ride!

A very important congratulations, Dr. Ed Fishkin.

He celebrates his retirement as chief medical officer of Woodhull Hospital today. His has truly been an important life, a life of service, care, caring, and giving. The club knows him as its go-to medical advisor. And as the founder of the Kids Ride Club which introduces/exposes inner-city children to cultural institutions and geographic locales they likely would not otherwise experience. It promotes children's living healthfully, eating well, and studying. Oh, and it teaches them bike riding. More? You want more? In retirement Ed will be helping refugees. Chapeau, Ed Fishkin! Your membership honors the club.
