Not the Slowest, thanks for the report. I did manage to dig up the tiny note about the 12pm cutoff on the website, so I suppose I'm partially at fault. I just wish it had been advertised more...

Does anybody know what the deal was with the early closure of the 100mi route? I started a corporate team this year with a bunch of new-ish but eager riders, some perfectly able to finish the 100 but...

Checking in from Hell's Kitchen. I did some road rides with a few of you guys a while back, but lately I've mostly been doing the commuting thing with some CP laps mixed in. My commuter getup is an...

It turns out that illness, procrastination, and girlfriend distractions have culled my group down to a measly 3-4 people. If any of you are loners looking for a fairly casual group, let me know....

The rack is an Axiom Streamliner Sport Tour, the only lightweight one I found that would match the matte silver fenders (See? This is why I can't build beaters.) I had to squeeze it together a bit to...

My first from-scratch build, a few months after I decided to "scrounge up a few parts and build a beater." She's a little too pretty for porn, but I'm not letting that stop me.

I did the early registration today, so I'll hopefully get to sleep in a bit and then zip straight to the starting line. With this cold/bronchitis that I'm still getting over, I'll be happy if I...

Possibly malicious debris in Palisades Park

Heads-up...

Today around noon as I was riding through Palisades Park, a little ways before the Alpine hill, my rear tire blew out. I pulled to the side, flipped my bike over, spun the wheel around...

I took the Hudson River Greenway from Hell's Kitchen to Battery Park. It was disappointingly uneventful, though I did shave about 10 minutes off my usual subway commute. I'm keeping my helmet and...

For me, it's not a very conscious effort at all; rather than focusing on pulling, I simply focus on not pushing, and the rest falls into place. It's very Zen. So much, in fact, that the moments when...

That guy went down just ahead of the pack I was riding in at the time. We swerved right and saw him laying in the left lane with his riding buddy stopped next to him, and I think most of us assumed...

As far as the riding went, this was one of the best centuries I've done. Really nice changes of scenery and terrain. (It was my first time riding out of the city since I moved here.) I pretty much...

I went out to CP on Sunday and got dropped by a rollerblader after the 4th lap. The Saturday ride was great, but I need a day off.

No objections. Relative to the meatball picture, our mugs will...

Since I'm kinda new to the area, can someone describe what and where the "110th street entrance" is? What's the best way to get there if I'm riding up from Columbus Circle?

Hooray, my lights arrived today (plus some leg warmers, arm warmers, and a saddle that I'm long overdue for). Once I get the new toys installed, I'll be up for some dusk/night riding.
