Hello all,

You'll notice a new filter on the ride listings page allowing you to view all weekend rides instead of Saturday OR Sunday.

Thanks to Scott McGuire for the simple but elegent suggestion.

An encyclopedic and fascinating history of cycling in the world's most prominent biking city (at least the Western World). Bike thievery has been a national pastime there---even Anne Frank had her bike stolen some time before she went into hiding. Riding single file was an important issue during the Nazi Germany occupation years.  Cyclists rode 4 or 5 abreast blocking frustrated German Gestapo officers' Mercedes autos  from proceeding. Incidentally author Jordan's previous book, written in 2007,was about one man's quest to wash dishes in eateries in all 50 states (as I cycled in all 50).

Just wondering if anyone could explain why the order of the color bands on the new NYCC jersey was reversed from the 75th anniversary version? Just curious...

Top to bottom: 75th anniversary - brown/yellow/black/red/blue

became blue/red/black/yellow/brown

if you wanna do some laps tonight i am heading out around 7.30pm. email me [email protected]. we can arrange a meeting spot.

Off bicycling topic, but my wife (Colleen Conway) and I (David Carr) met a neurologist last year on the ride up to the Berkshires, Daniel, who is a neurologist, and we had a nice ride together up to Sheffield on a rainy day. 

I'm trying to reach him for some advice relating to his specialty and not clear how to reach him. So Daniel or a friend of his, if you're out there, can you be in touch please? We would really appreciate it. My gmail account is carrdavid.  

Many thanks in advance,

David

Hi everyone,

I'm coming over to NYC from the UK for a week from 22nd July before heading down to DC and am bringing my bike with me. I'm keen to get a couple of early morning rides around Central Park but also would really like to get out of the city on day rides. I've bought a couple of (dated) books but none of the rides really appeal. So...I was hoping for some insider local tips! I normally average around 16mph and 60 miles distance but can go further. I'll be checking the Upcoming Rides for any of you planning any that are suitable and if you know of any great rides I'd very much appreciate some info.

Thanks in anticipation!

Look forward to hearing from you,

All the best

Ben

Just wanted to personally thank all the volunteers who stepped up to lead a ride during the Club's 4th of July at West Point: Anita, Alan, Skip, Sandra, Barbara, Barry, Denise, Lynn, Peter, Christy, Jody, Phil, John, Antonia, Jeannie, Jonathan, Sonia, and Manuel. Thank you all for helping make this event as excellent as it was.

Special thanks to Betsy Hafkin for coordinating all those rides and wrangling all those excellent leaders.

And a huge THANK YOU! to Morene Bangel and Konstantin Janashvili, without whom none of this would have happened.

Well done, everybody!
