NYC - race & ride this weekend!

Join us on Saturday August 5th for a mad dash to the beach! There are going to be tons of prizes! Coney Island or Bust! is brought to you by: Trackstar, The Onion, Phil Wood. R.E.Load, Velocity, Euro-Asia Imports, randL wallets, Crumpler, Visitor Design, and Base Brooklyn.

www.trackstarnyc.com
SUNDAY - A hundred miles, a single gear: Tour des Barrens
A century for fixed-gear and single-speed cyclists. If you've never had the pleasure of riding 100 miles without bothering to shift, here's your chance. The route (courtesy John Zenkus) is almost entirely flat, so you won't miss that derailleur. Bring two water bottles, spare tubes, helmet, pocket food, and cash. Ferry leaves at 8:00am; cost is a $39 (for RT fare + bike charge).
Sunday August 6 at 07:40 AM
@ Seastreak Ferry terminal: E. 34th St. and East River

Friends, Everyone is invited to join a flat century ride I'm co-leading for NYCC this Sunday for fixed gears and single speeds. The route begins on Sandy Hook, NJ (via ferry) and runs down into the Pine Barrens and back. There's not much thinking involved, so it's the perfect summer ride. The average pace on the flats (which is most of the route) is 19mph, with minimal breaks. Hammerheads are welcome to buzz ahead. I'm always slower than advertised. It's possible to shorten the ride, though I haven't scouted those roads. If interested or any questions, give me a call. The ferry ride is a pricey $39, but it's still cheaper than the TA century, with fewer stoplights, and you can buy beer on the return trip.
