All our rides aim to be fun and safe. Sometimes though, even in the best of circumstances, accidents occur. The First Aid For Cyclists seminar is designed specifically for cyclists to help you understand the role of the first responder in collecting information, keeping the injured cyclist(s) safe till help arrives, and minimizing the chance others will be injured. Common cycling related injuries and other road related medical emergencies will be reviewed. Suggestions for a personal first aid kit will be also given.

"Rowdiness Becomes a Business Strategy for the Tour" (March 9) quotes that narcissistic, egomaniacal blow-hard, Donald Trump saying, "We're building a tremendous amphitheater; it'll be the best in golf." This calls to mind that narcissistic, egomaniacal blow-hard pronouncing before the 1989 Tour de Trump bike race, which he surprisingly named for himself, "This race is bigger than anything they got in Europe."

It lasted two years.

I'm looking to borrow a bike case (to put the bike in for an overseas flight) April 19-30.

Will pay a reasonable rental fee.

I've heard that the club owns some and rents these out...didn't know whom to contact about that.

Thanks.

This would be an UNOFFICIAL NON-SANCTIONED by NYCC Ride.

What does that mean? We are on our own for insurance, liability, injury and Bad Press.

Until the rules in CP change we will be doing this as any pick up ride, no different than anyother "who wants to ride" style.

Most likely 2X a week starting at 7PM, with 3-4 laps.

Each ride will be limited to 6 riders. Sorry folks but the smaller the group the less chance of making waves with the powers to be.

It will be decided if we will have a 2nd group or slower group.

I will have jersey fit kits at tonight's club meeting. I will not have sample vests or jackets to try on but the sizing is the same as the jerseys.

Hi

I am planning a ride from the GWB to Long Valley, NJ, and would welcome suggestions for most direct, safe route.    I don't want to ride through Newark, nor do I want to ride for any considerable distance on Rt 46.....

Thx
