Leipheimer's crash

Submitted by HDershowitz on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 9:18am

“I could be dead, for sure. I flew into Bilbao on Saturday night before the Vuelta al País Vasco. I wanted to get here early, relax and go for a ride. I was returning from a light ride, about two hours, at about 12:30. I was using my (smart phone) to find some good roads. I was about five kilometers from the hotel. At that point, I was on a big road, with a big shoulder. There was a white line and I was over on the far right side of the shoulder. I was just riding along. I didn’t hear or see anything. The impact was straight in from behind.

Ride System Update - Attachments & Ride Library

Submitted by dortsman on Wed, 04/04/2012 - 2:24pm

Hello NYCC...

Another two new (sort of related) features were fully launched today.

The first... we allow file upload (pdf, doc, xls, gpx, etc) per ride.  So, upload your cue sheets and gps files in advance.  These uploads will live on the ride page itself. 

The second... perhaps you decide to use a ride from our extensive ride library...  Now, you can link directly to that ride route from within your specific rides. 

Send me feedback. 

Now, get out there and ride.

Interesting Piece in OpEd Section of NYT today

Submitted by Cyclegalnycc on Tue, 04/03/2012 - 7:53pm

Don't have a link to share, but if you get the paper or go to nyt.com, OpEd piece on women and cycling saddles.  Nothing we didn't already know (seat-to-handlebar ratio comfort factor), but I found it worth reading.  And it's short.

Elevation data from Sunday's Pleasantville ride?

Submitted by DLoayza on Tue, 04/03/2012 - 5:04pm

By chance does anyone have some kind of ride data from Sunday's A-Classic to Pleasantville? I'd like to see the elevation info and changes in northern manhattan as mapmyride doesn't have info for some of those areas.
