I don't know about everyone else, but this happens to me all the time:

I really think they are going to have to widen the bike lanes on these treadmills.  It literally feels as though you are riding right up against a jogger for the entire ride.

Self-Employment Ride: Weather

The roads are pretty slick right now.  Hopefully, they are good in the morning.  I'll make the determination tomorrow at 7.

If you're thinking about riding the 5 boro for charity...

  I'd like to encourage you to ride for a charity near to my heart, Bronxworks. All money raised goes to enrichment programs for children living in three shelters for homeless families in the South Bronx. I'd be happy to tell you more about it, just email me.

  Even if you don't pick us, doing this ride for charity makes the ride much more pleasant. Although the first few miles are slow, they're far from hazardous, and once you're out of the park it's a pleasure. For those of you doing the sigs it's nice and flat, makes a good day after ride.

Oh my...

CYCLING 109

Submitted by AResnick on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 10:34am

Getting close to spring-only couple more of these:  As the weather has been pretty good this year; running wasn't much of a NEED.  If you tried running; it is time to cut back to mostly cycling.  Running once; or twice a week still wouldn't hurt; just in case we get some Feb-early March snow storms.  As for riding time to start ramping up distance/speed; depending on your goals for this year.  If you HAVE been riding a bunch:  good time to start adding some harder short sessions.  And on the weekends; maybe going a bit longer.  Remember; if it is coldish and you're tired and sleepy after a longish ride-not unusal-it takes extra energy to stay warm.  SIGs are soon; so is SPRING series  and lots of biking stuff!  &nbs

Seville diner in Westwood has closed

Submitted by abrowning on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 6:39am

Its actually completely gone-  space cleared for a 24 hr CVS, according to a waiter at Jack's Cafe, where we stopped for brunch, after seeing no Seville diner.    A SIG institution gone.  Jack's was good, btw (on Broadway, just after the right turn to Seville).  but way too small for a SIG group.
