I am going to suggest to the NYCC Board that they ask the powers that be to PLEASE install two permanent Port-a-Sans on the New Jersey side of the bridge, just before getting off the path.  I spoke to a REALLY NICE transit authority officer today who said he really doesn't want to have to "fine" cyclists for doing so, but they are going to start.  The path is used by many different groups, including young kids with their parents, and other folks who really don't need/want to see that happening.  Forget that there's a public restroom 1/4 mile north of there; it's just not nice!  Please pass this on to your groups when arriving in Jersey if someone wants to use the path as a potty.  Thanks.  (Okay, here goes all the nasty banter, I k

Hi,

What types of bicycles are permitted on the NYCC, and in particular SIGs rides?? Definitely road bikes ( such as Trek Madones, Cannondale CAAD10, Scott FOIL, Parlees, etc.. )  without aero bars are allowed. What about other bikes such as:

It's back! Saturday. Uncharacteristically early. Ride just listed*--may not be up yet: starts late (10AM) to let the day's warmth seep into the day. As the write-up says, the geriatric leader (0 miles for 2013 and that goes back to late October; 0 mins. indoor training; see the first sentence at http://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/10/news/sunday-outing-breathtaking-scenery-on-a-hudson-bicycle-trip.html) turns out to be a year older than he was last year when he was already superannuated--a nice way of saying damn old. Conclusion: Come mindful you'll be waiting for him atop at least five climbs and likely elsewhere.

Just got a GoPro and am learing to shoot and edit.

If anyone is interested, I'm planning on doing a scouting ride in Central NJ on April 6th or 7th and could use some company.

The ride will include about 15 miles on the D&R Canal, and 30 miles on pavement, roughly B15 pace.  Email me if you're interested.

Hi,

I'm new to NYCC.org and cycling in general (have spent most of the winter training indoors).  I'm training for my first triathlon and am looking for other cyclist (B16-18 ish) who are also strapped for time and looking to fit in rides in the mornings, evenings and weekends.  I am looking to do several 50+ mile rides as well as some 25-40 milers over the next month, will some focus on hills/climbs.  I live in lower manhattan but could meet up anywhere.

If you're interested, please let me know :)

Sunday ... I’m riding past Cooper Square on the way to Grand Central.

I have an opportunity to cycle up Haleakala next month. For this a bike is essential. (Duh!) The online reviews of bike shops on Maui read like bipolar personalities. (Why do is suspect a combination of mutual sabotoge and self-promotion?)

It appears that I will do this solo. When I attempted Mauna Kea a few years ago logistics and a kinked cable resulted in a very late start. I want to get my ducks in a row for this one. Unpaved road sections of significant grade made the use of a mtn bike correct. And it was certainly very good for the descent. Haleakala appears paved and a gentle grade. A road bike might be the appropriate instrument. Does anyone have direct experience in renting a bike for this ascent/descent?

Just submitted a last minute ride for this Friday, 3/29.  Casual A ride to Nyack.  It is often said that "the simplest ideas are the best".  Up 505, back 501 - about as simple as it gets.  Leaving 9:00 AM from the boathouse.  Kinda casual A19/20 pace.
