NYC Triathlon this Sunday
For those of you planning on riding/leading on Sunday, you may want to avoid the park & riverside drive. The West Side Highway will be closed all morning so one has to assume that RSD will pick up the brunt of the traffic flowing north.

New Filter on Ride Listings
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.
"In the City of Bikes-- the story of the Amsterdam Cyclist" by Pete Jordan-- new book/good read
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).
why the subtle changed in the jersey design?
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
laps tonight?
if you wanna do some laps tonight i am heading out around 7.30pm. email me [email protected]. we can arrange a meeting spot.
Trying to reach Daniel (Labovitz?)
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
