I booked a two bedroom suite at the exclusive, Michelin rated (10 stars!) Wind in the Pines resort centrally located on Route 7 in Great Barrington. Even though the place is ridiculously priced @ $100 per night (3 nights/approx $150 each + taxes) I'd like a roommate. So I don't get lonely. (Even though that's unlikely as R Grossberg, P Morales & K Johnson are also at the W in the P & will probably keep me up all night long with their relentless partying)

I hope they aren't serious...

Hi there,

Is there anyone else looking to share space for the Berkshires weekend?  A female and a C rider here.  According to the events page looks like most C rides will start in Great Barrington, but I’m open to any other areas. I was told Sheffield, Lee, Stockbridge and Lenox are all a reasonable distance. I'd love to stay at a small B&B, of the very few left for this weekend. You can reach me at [email protected].

Thanks!

Trish

Hi all,

While I do not use the velodrome much, as a cyclist and Queens resident I was very happy to see it restored some years back.

I've been alerted by members of the Queens Committee of Transportation Alternatives that there have been some confrontations and problems between cyclists using the velodrome and people using it for their radio-controlled cars, planes and whatnot.

Apparently the exchanges have become rather heated at times.  Has anyone else had such experiences?

Thanks.

Update:  Online registration for the dinner party closed - contact me for more information.

Crossing from west to east, you may see a few orange traffic cones just east of the toll booth.  Keep to the right of the cones!  There's no signage of any kind -- we assumed they were marking a hazard in the road.  However, the cones are intended to guide cyclists away from the toll booth and into the shoulder lane of the bridge.  If you ride to the left of the cones, as we did, the toll collector will have a conniption and shriek at you!

We're visiting Berlin, Germany with grandchildren this summer, and plan a day trip--via rail--to Potsdam. Anyone have experience hooking-up with an English-speaking, guided, day tour bike operation (not Fat Tire Bikes or self-guided tours) at the Potsdam train station or environs?

I can't ride Sunday, May 5th. I have a 7:45 am start. If you're interested in riding and using my registration, let me know. Anne

Anyone have experience with a physical therapist for cycling injuries? Specifically, I am recovering from a knee injury. I have a specific set of therapies prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon. I'm considering that possibly a therapist more into sports esp. cycling medicine might have a different, better, technique to accomplish the results.  Someone who is both a physical therapist and a cycling coach/trainer would seem ideal.  Since I live in Manhattan Upper West Side and work in downtown Brooklyn, said therapist would need to be reasonably reachable from these areas. That pretty much rules out eastern Brooklyn and Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island -- I can't really haul out to e.g. Melrose 2x/week.

I know there is a lot of distain from cyclists for runners in Central Park. 

But as a cyclist AND a runner, I wanted to say that there was a lot of love in Central Park this weekend from the running community for the tradgey up in Boston last week.

Since I'm a wh*re for traffic, here's a link to what Sunday morning looked like from my perspective.
