I need a buddy
 
Is anybody on this board interested in being my cycle buddy? I'm thinking 3 to 5 laps around central park, ny, ny (18 to 30 miles) at least three times a week (I'll be doing it 5 nights a week), somewhere between the hours of 7 and 11 pm, with a pace between 17 and 25 mph. I've been doing it for a while now by myself, but sometimes I'll meet up by chance with another fixer and we'll ride a lap or two and I've found it's more fun with some camaraderie. either post here or email me off-list if you're interested.

Thanks...
David

Yes, that is what I meant. If, by prospect park, you meant central park.

my schedule's kinda all over the place, but weekday evenings after 7 are generally best. i wouldn't mind the odd weekend ride either, but the weekend schedule is dictated by events with more randomized times...

if we set up a loose schedule for rides, i'll certainly join some of 'em when i can.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 02:00 AM.
