Hi all,

I am thinking of using my spring break (I teach) to build early season fitness. Problem is, NYC is late February doesn't make me want to ride 6 hours a day every day.  Any thoughts on warm, pleasant parts of the country to create a DIY cycling camp?

Direct flights from NYC, cheap accomodations are welcome.

As are, of course, scenic, less trafficked and hilly roads.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I am planning on doing RAGBRAI this July in my 'home' state of iowa.  5-7 days of riding and camping away from the hustle of NYC eating nothing but PBJs and beer.  What could be better?

So, I am posting this to see who is interested in heading out there and riding and possibly going as a group to represent NYCC

The forecast is for 17 degrees. Too cold for me.

RSVP for this important free Bicycle skills class.

Is NYCC considered an official non-profit organization, or some other type of entity?  Tried looking at the bylaws online but wasn't sure.

Tomorrow's ride, B15, laps i Central Park, is cancelled due to forecast for extremely low temperatures.

Registration for the tour opens tomorrow, and I'd like to encourage people to consider doing the ride for charity (I have a particular charity in mind, but I'll get to that). As a charity rider you start at the front which makes the ride much less crowded, safer, easier and actually fun. You also get a free light breakfast and box lunch. The ride itself, ahead of the crowds, is actually an interesting, happy flat ride that makes a very good day-after-the -sig ride.
