A-Classic .TCX files?

Submitted by edeuser on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 12:42pm

It seems I managed to save the cue sheets and .GPX files for the A-Classic routes, but misplaced the .TCX versions.  I believe I would need the .TCX file type in order to get turn-by-turn directions on my Garmin 500.  Would somebody be able to email me the .TCX versions? My address is ericdeuser AT gmail DOT com

Thanks in advance!

Let's all wish Harry a speedy recovery from his big injury. Seems he couldn't lead his famous 6:00 AM Central Park Ride and Dash ride Wed morning after suffering a debilitating injury Tuesday evening. OMIGOSH, he cut his finger doing the dishes. He said he wouldn't normally take on such a risky dangerous activiy as washing the dishes exceppt for the fact he was told, "do the dishes". Next time, be careful Harry. And get well soon!

Hey NYCC. Even if you're not staying at West Point feel free to join the rides, especially on the 4th. You can ride up with us and take Metro-North home, or do a R/T for a century.

Rides leave from 72nd and Central Park West at 8:45am.

Happy 4th!

Riding Liberty State Park, Jersey City

Submitted by rider_b75 on Tue, 07/02/2013 - 2:46pm

I just moved to Jersey City, the section which is close  to Liberty State Park. Still had no chance yet to explore fully the Liberty Park on my bike. Anyone has any tips for the best hours/routes to ride in the park? In addition, what's the most convenient route going north from the park to GWB / Route 9W/ Palisades?

New B-18 ride listed for Thursday July 4th. We'll take a fast B-ride out in a nice loop then stop for refreshments at a kosher restaurant in Teaneck before we head back up the Bergen Ridge for home. We'll stay together as a group until the final climb at which we will re-group at the top for a nice paceline back, and regroup back in Manhattan for a paceline back to the start. http://nycc.org/node/63641

Looking for Berkshires (Sheffield) rides July 7-14

Submitted by JFinder on Tue, 07/02/2013 - 12:25pm

I'm going to be in Sheffield with the Berkshire Choral Festival from July 7 to July 14.  I have the NYCC Berkshires cue sheets and I'm planning to take some afternoon rides. 

Mornings and evenings will be rehearsals, so time will be limited and my rides probably must begin and end in Sheffield.  I'm hoping to do the Shorter Bash Bish ride one afternoon. 

If anyone will be around there, please let me know and maybe we can get together.
