It may take a bit before the ride is approved and online. If you are looking for lots of climbing without spending all day on the bike, come join us!   -Rod C.

One of the three finalists appears to be an old NYCC jersey design, from 1996: http://nycc.org/about-us/nycc-jersey-archives

If that was the club jersey then, might members be permitted to vote for other "retro" jerseys, or "no new jersey design"?

If other designs submitted were "fabulous" - one that I saw was - why is it true that "only three could be chosen for the entire club to vote on"?

Finally, what is the deadline for voting?

Thanks.

"Henry Hudson Drive CLOSED from Alpine Hill to Dyckman Hill for down trees." via @ParkwayPolice on Twitter

(thing I just learned: "Dyckman Hill" is the road we can't ride on bicycles at Englewood Cliffs)

As for the upcoming weekend, check this account on Twitter for updates. And it pays to be careful in general & keep your speed moderated enough to stop in time around a blind corner, for holes/branches/obstructions/etc. 

From the obituary of NY Giants-Dodgers-Braves-Cubs outfielder Andy Pafko:

Pafko was astounded to learn that one of his 1952 Topps trading cards had sold for $83,870 at an auction in Washington. The card, found by a collector in an unopened pack for which he paid $1,000, according to Sports Collectors Digest, was in mint condition.

This will run along Ocean Parkway and connect Jones Beach and Tobay Beach

A bit late - but just want to say thanks to all who were involved in setting up the Central NJ Crossing Ride last Saturday-

A really fun ride - beautiful route and exact cue sheet - Liked the fact that lunch was arranged and had plent of options --

Call out to Bruce/David for leading the B17 - kept a nice pace and friendly attitude!

Cycling governing body, the UCI, introduces proposals to scrap the WorldTour in favour of a three-tier league system. Wow Cookson is up for making a lot o changes.. this could be good for world cycling..

Does anyone know (I mean know) of a bike shop that sells those little cue sheet clamp-on-a-velcro-strap thingies.  In the past, I've gotten new ones at the SIG orientation, but that's a bit far off. My last one blew away crossing 9W and Palisade at the end of ENY, and I wasn't really in the mood to go back for it.

Thanks in advance,

Peter Storey
