SUNDAY 1/5, B16/25-40 - Winter Training & Fun! #1A - Bedford Dirt

START: Meet 8:30 at Grand Central Terminal [email me by 9PM for details if you're interested)

FINISH: Mt.

Cancelled for obvious weather reasons, however if you were signed up and want to still get some outdoor activity I'll be meeting some other leaders for a "coffee ride".  Here's the basic details:

We'll meet at Eleanor Roosevelt Statue at 10 AM.  The ride will require fat, and studded, tires (I'll be on a mountain bike) and dress really warm.  We'll head south along the bike path, and eventually hop over into Brooklyn; we'll spin along through Brooklyn making our way to the Pulaski Bridge and into Long Island City to Bricktown Bagels for coffee and a snack; then over the 59th Street Bridge and back into Manhattan, where the ride will end.  Hope to see you there.  Tom

The ride is ON for tomorrow... with some changes... if you've signed up or are on the wait list, check your email... if you haven't signed up and would like to ride in some unusual conditions, send me an email for details.

Snow/ice/bitter cold.  We're so disappointed....  We hope to see you soon on some other ride.

Because of the Cold/Snow/Ice, the Garrison Grind ride is Cancelled.

People,

To help me shape what I'm going to talk about at the 1/14 Club meeting on advocacy, would like to get member “feedfront”: simply, your hopes and concerns about what NYCC advocacy would accomplish.  

Please email me, using the link to the left.

Thanks in advance.

What: Bring your own rim, hubs, spokes. Leave with a perfectly built wheel that you’ll have built yourself.

          Bring your out of true wheel. Leave with it perfectly trued by you.

First off, Happy New Year, all!  I pass along some hearsay under the heading "Don't Shoot the Messenger."  Please. 

I went out at 1ish today on my favorite riding path:  River Rd; sheltered from westerly winds, fewer cars, and peaceful.  Another boulder had rolled off the mountain into the center of the road, so I stopped at Alpine to let the police know.  I was informed that "the powers that be" are working on eliminating bikes at all, as a few have sued after crashing, caused -- the cyclists say -- by debris in the road. 

I mean by this thread to provoke a serious, thoughtful discussion.  Not a forum for complaining.

Here's one that while not easy to keep, pays huge dividends:

Join, and complete, a SIG this spring.
