Looking for Room/Roommate or Recommendations for Berkshires Weekend

Submitted by SYoung on Sat, 04/26/2014 - 8:29pm

Change in my schedule has it made it possible for me to go to Berkshires - but don't know where exactly to stay?

Do you have a room and need roommate? Or are you also looking for roommate and a place to stay?

As I'm on my own - would like to stay in hotel/inn where other NYCCer's are staying--any suggestions? Going to be riding on B rides so think I would like to stay nearer to Shettfield-

Thanks for any help/suggestions-

dead cyclists family sued by driver who killed son

Submitted by RGrossberg on Sat, 04/26/2014 - 5:02pm
From USA TODAY Driver sues for $1.35M after hitting teen on bike On a rainy October night in 2012, 17-year-old Brandon Majewski and two of his friends were riding their bikes to get hot dogs when they were hit from behind by an SUV. Majewski was killed; the other teen boys were injured. Now the 42-year-old woman driving the SUV, Sharlene Simon, is suing all three—plus Majewski's parents and his brother, who has since died, the Toronto Sunreports. Simon says she suffered emotional trauma in the accident, which happened about 55 miles north of Toronto, and is claiming $1.35 million in damages. "They did not apply their brakes properly," her lawsuit states.

Janice and I are optimistic that it will clear up and the roads will be dry by the time we head out for our ride.

However, given the iffy weather, we may have to be a little flexible and change the ride on the fly.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Fenders if you have them, llight rain jacket a good idea. Extra tube if possible. Email ride leader if you plan to join so I know to look for you.

B SIG is ON for Saturday

Weather reports are a bit inconsistent, but the consensus seems to be that the overnight showers will be gone by 7 or so, then clear through late afternoon. 

But be prepared for the possiblity of rain just in case. Rain jacket, front and rear flashers if you have them. Also, it might be windy.

See you in Woodlawn!

{B-STS} 4/26, Week 8 discussion thread (aka it might rain so what shall we do?)

Submitted by BVan Nieuwenhoven on Fri, 04/25/2014 - 5:25pm

The summary as of 5pm Friday:

* We have a reservation for a 7:47am train to White Plains

* It will probably be raining in White Plains when we arrive at 8:22am

* The rain is supposed to clear up by noon, but no one has any idea when, specifically (reports indicate: 9a, 9:30a, maybe 11a)

* When it does clear up, we're likely to have a window of acceptable riding weather (cloudy, wet roads) that will let us finish our scheduled ride on-time. 

Ride To Montauk is on for 2014 - after a 1,000 rider haircut (again)

The gist: Southampton, a major town along the long-standing route, insisted on a 1,500 cyclist limit. For the entire day's travel. They claimed the reason for this limit was "safety". 

Last year this "safe" limit, with no incidents, was 2,500 riders.

The year prior, I believe there were 3,300 total registrants.
