As a combat veteran, I was taken aback by the ENY Memorial Day e-mail/Ad. This is a distasteful exploitation for commercial purposes of a holiday intended to honor our war dead, and the NYCC should be cognizant of that. Having lost brothers in battle, and the continued loss due to suicides by brave veterans, shame on the NYCC/ENY. Our community just lost 2 veterans in the NYC area in the last two weeks due to PTSD and them taking their own lives. So this flippant advertisement is truly in poor taste. It is a special time of year for us and always feels a bit empty knowing there are warriors no longer here with us, and we celebrate/remember the sacrifice they made.

Hi all.

One of my bikes is a hybrid that came with 700x38 tires that I replaced with 700x32. These have been giving me trouble.

Anyone have an update on the construction of River Road in Grandview between Piermont and Nyack? I rode (barely) three weeks ago and they seem to be at their worst state. Does that mean they're close to done? It's taken them forever. Any idea on how to track progress of the project?

Carol Waaser had to cancel her ride to New Bridge Landing tomorrow because of the weather. I have posted the same ride for Sunday so it you are looking for a relaxed ride to an interesting place by all means sign up.

We meet at Eleanor Roosevelt for the start at 9:30 Sunday morning.

Are there any "A" level rides for the Newcomers Ride on Saturday June 4? Do not see any in the ride listings...

I have a reservation for Sheffield 1802 House that I won't be able to use.  It is close to the high school start location.  Text me if you are interested or call them directly.  (413) 248-11

"Forester is a pivotal and controversial figure to many people who are involved in bike advocacy. He’s become known as the father of vehicular cycling, a small but passionate and influential group who believe the bicycles should be operated like any other vehicle — ridden in the same lanes and manner as cars and trucks rather than in bike lanes or separated infrastructure.

One bedroom, one bathroom in a shared suite for Berkshire cycling weekend. Contact me if interested. Wind in the Pines is the hotel, bare bones but clean. Can message too at 312.404.5294.
