sunday's lunar new year dim sum ride is cancelled :-(

have a great year of the dragon to all.

we'll do a dim sum ride when it's warmer.

This summer I have entered the Etape du Tour.  My current bike is just an entry level road bike, so I am looking to buy a better bike that will cope with the hills and be a step up for me generally.  I have had a look around but there are so many options out there that i'm not really sure where to start.  Can anyone offer any advise on what I should be looking for / considering when i make my purchase?

Thanks

Alex

Both the B15 and B17 rides are canceled due to snow/ice.  So sorry.  We hope to see you at the Feb. 14 club meeting to answer any questions you might have or on March 3 when the B SIG starts.

Used 51cm Trek Alpha bike for sale. In excellent condition. Price negotiable. Email me for pictures or further details. 

I was just looking over the member agreement today and read this part..

The B17 version of the B SIG Preview Ride listed for tomorrow is being cancelled.  Please note, however, that the B15 version of this ride is still planned as scheduled.

The B15 leaders will post the status of their ride tomorrow morning by 7:30 at the latest.  The B15 leaders have kindly offered to include any B17 riders who want to join them, should we get a ridable day.  Thank you, Linda and Paul.

In short, the B17 SIG Preview Ride leaders are wimps, the B15 leaders, not so much.

If you're hoping to ride the B15 SIG Preview Ride, check back here in the a.m. for the status of the ride.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hey guys,

We're up to 90% chance of snow tonight and tomorrow, so here's the plan: if the weather wienies are wrong, we'll do an impromptu 9W jam to Piermont.

If the snow arrives, we'll go old school. In years past (when winter actually used to happen) we would head down the Greenway in the snow and over the Brooklyn bridge for coffee in the heights and maybe even a lap in Prospect Park. To be safe, you need heavier-tired gear than racing bikes (MTB, CX, Commuter). It's slow, fun, and the trip over the bridge in the snow is beautiful and exhilarating.

Either way, same time (9) same place (Eleanor). And check the MB at 8am for the call.

Does anyone know if there is a vintage/classic bike collector's group in the NYC area?   I've heard one mentioned before, but can't find any info about it anywhere.   If you're aware of  one, I'd appreciate any leads.

Thanks,

Rich
