Has anyone ordered and received the new NYCC jersey design from Champion?

Submitted by ckulesh on Tue, 02/25/2014 - 11:34pm

I ordered the new jersey from Champion and few weeks ago and it arrived today. However, it turns out that they sent me the prior jersey design (with NYCC and subway tiles). It's nice, but I already have one.

I just went back to the web store, and they only show the new jersey design, so I hope they accept it as their error and send me one in the new design without charging me.

I have emailed Champion, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Central Park Loop Regular Winter Riders

Does anybody foresee any ice on the loop tomorrow from run off refreezing? I looked like there was a lot of potential for black ice.

I did my first miles for this year only yesterday but now I'm anxious to keep going!

Thanks.

Heed, Skratch or Other

Okay, we all got plenty of salt and water on our bikes this past weekend, but what about into our bodies? I've been using Hammer Heed for years, but am intrigued by Skratch Labs reviews and Allen Lim's reputation. 

What do you use and why?

Thanks!

There is a thing called a bicycle fender

Submitted by HSchiffman on Sun, 02/23/2014 - 8:36pm

But they were rare as hen's teeth this afternoon on the West Side Bike Path, what with the run off of snow melt.

However, I did see a lot of brown streaks up the center of backs of jerseys on bicycle riders. 

Ancient wisdom: One fender will save numerous jerseys from indelible stain. And you can't wear the fender out.

Crowds tomorrow?

Submitted by kbarch on Fri, 02/21/2014 - 9:33pm

How crowded do we think the greenway and the parks will be tomorrow?  I haven't been on the road since superbowl weekend and haven't managed to do more than an hour at a time on the stationary bike since then, so I'm SUPER EAGER.  I would join the "Quick and Early Ride to the Piermont," and I'll be up in time, but having slacked off so much lately, I'll be happy to do just three or four laps of the park...  Just hope I get there before the crowds.
