My rear wheel on my road/weekend bike sounds like there's some sort of object rolling around freely inside the tube when the rim spins at low RPM. Like a roulette-wheel kind of thing. It's not coming from the hub, it's definitely from inside the rim/tire chamber. 

I can't hear it when I'm on the bike, it's a very subtle noise. I think I first heard it when I was carrying it through my apartment and the rear wheel was freespinning in the air. 

Cold and windy. Temperatures are not rising enough. This ride is unfortunately cancelled (AGAIN.) Maybe we will relist it on July 14th. (LOL) Stay warm.

So sorry but the weather just is not cooperating.  We feel that riding with wind chills in the teens is really just not fun.

NYCC,

I'm considering participating (through a charity) in this year's L'Etape du Tour in July (http://www.letapedutour.com/ET1/us/homepage.html) and am looking for anyone who can provide or direct me to any information or guides on preparing for this type of event or even others who are also taking part or would be interested in training with me for this in/around NYC.

Many thanks in advance for any information, Henry

The ramp from 158th down to the west side Greenway is closed, and from the looks of the chain link fence, will stay that way for the foreseeable future. The stairs are still open.

This stinks, because it was a very nice alternative to the potentially-very-slick hill under the GWB. :( Anyone have other easy suggestions? I come fom 181st-ish and prefer to avoid as much traffic as possible.

Please ONLY respond if you intend on going to West Point this July 4th.  I would appreciate only serious responses.

West Point starts on July 4th this year, so we will be riding up there and most of us arriving early to mid afternoon.  I would like to know how many participants would be interested in doing the river cruise with dinner and view of the fireworks.  In past years, it has been on the second night, and people felt pressured to either cut their rides shorter to make the boat or not go at all.  There is no such pressure this year, and since the barbecue will be on day 2 of the three-day trip, it would be nice, especially since we have many new club members who have never been on a West Point weekend.

With 20-30 % chance of precip and a HIGH of 32, winds at 12-15, I'm going to spend my birthday doing warmer things.  I hope you guys are understanding of that.

Tomorrow morning's Central Park Laps (B15) is cancelled due to weather
