Call it a conceit or whatever you like, a recurring thought I've pondered pounding out miles on some long runs and rides is just this: what is the essential CV for the consummate NYC roadie? Yes, this can be parsed into C, B and A type rides. And you may break it down to these categories. But having the floor, I'm looking at what the limits of a fairly strong rider in his/her prime would consider.

Conditions this morning from 59th and up were for skating, not for riding (even walking the bike was a challange). Saw a couple of people take a fall or two.  Below 59th was wet, but no ice.

Please reply with updates.

What do the streets look like today (Thursday)?

I would like to ride downtown to meet friends and maybe pick up some groceries from Chinatown. I'm most interested in the east to west travel back to the Hudson greenway. The Prince street bike path is pretty hairy when the conditions are good. Are there big snow piles on the bike lane?

Maybe the NYCC could budget a drone (w/camera) for the future to check out area road/bridge conditions.

Thanks in advance.

It is 7:30 PM and no one has signed up for morning laps tomorrow morning. The ride is cancelled for lack of interest or perhaps epidemic levels of common sense.

I just came accross this page and thought I would share it with everyone.

Its interesting to see how auto production has levelled a bit and bike production has continued to rise.

So claims the text alert I just received. 

Hope it stays open a while this time!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced car service from UWS to JFK? Traveling with bike and unsure about luck with one of the bigger cabs. Super shuttle takes forever especially if you're picked up first. Thanks.

Does anyone know a local optician who can fit me up with prescription sunglasses for riding. Without breaking the bank. Experiences ?? any good online results ?? thanks.
