Ravioli and Gnocchi are dumplings.

Meet Upper East Side at 9:30, ride around the Bronx through the parks, lunch at MichaelAngelo's on Arthur Ave, then train bailouts. About 26 miles or a little more.

I was in an accident and had to replace a brake caliper.  Ever since, I need to replace the hydraulic brake fluid on a regular basis, for which I go to a bike shop.  I either need a bike shop that can figure out how to fix it once and for all, find a class to teach me how to deal with hydraulic disc brakes so that I might maintenance the problem, or sell the bike to a handier person than myself.  A fourth option is to replace with mechanical disc brake set-up.  Any suggestions?

The weather gods strike again.  Sorry to cancel.  I'll relist it soon.

Alfredo passed away on Monday, and there's an open visitation in Manhattan this Sunday afternoon.

He was a member of both NYCC and 5BBC, participated in many bike related volunteer activities, and was a consumate gentleman and nice person - - a gentle and kind soul.

Many may recall him from (what used to be) NYCC's annual pre-Marathon Ride.

Details are on 5BBC website

My cousin has a beautiful guesthouse in southern France called Le Grand Depart (https://www.legrandepart.com/) and is running a raffle offering a free 4 night stay during the Tour de France 7/18 – 22. The place is just down the road from the finish of Stage 15 on 7/20!

Ugh, I found out through the 5BBC that Peter

Morales passed away I believe on New Years Eve.

Peter, a CPA, did the club's tax returns for many

years In addition to being a regular on B rides

(later C rides) for many years. A Brooklyn resident

Peter often did the Berkshires (my one-time roommate)

and West Point weekends.

And now I learn that Alfredo Garcia has just died.

Alfredo, like Peter, was a former Board Member

and in the 2000s organized the pre-NYC Marathon

Ride (before it got out of control and has subsequently 

been CXLD)

Two fine gentleman and most excellent cycling companions.

RIP Peter & Alfredo 

Does anyone have any recommendations for road bike rentals in the Costa Blanca region of Spain? Looking for bikes ships near Albir if possible. Thanks.
