Upcoming Group Rides
Saturday, Jul 18th 7:45 AM
If you ever thought about riding beyond Rockland lake on the weekends and trying 9w, but was too nervous. Come ride with John, our new rider to the GWB via 9W at 7:45am. This is a no drop ride. We will do a 'C' level ride as a group to the bike shop near the GWB. Along the way, there will be encouragement and 2 5-10 minute stops. At the bike shop, we'll use the restrooms, have some snacks and admire the expensive bikes. On the way back, we can do another 2 5-10 minute pit stops.

All Levels Ride. This ride has a strict NO DROP policy. This ride moves at a D to C pace. Two laps around the Lake and then ride splits. Those who wish to go to the outer loop may do so and the rest of the group will ride the inner loop.

After leaning that Cannondale had been sold and production moving east, the far east that is, I wondered what, if any, bikes were manufactured in the US (aside from custom built). In my research I came across this article:

Thanks for our GIANT SHARE about how you came to RBC and why you are a member and what you'd like to see from the club! Remember - you ARE RBC!!!!! I am looking forward to our new and existing ride leaders leading more fun rides! You are all great...even Maria and Lloyd, (whom we are secretly grooming to take a leadership role in RBC...shhhh....). We missed you guys..and Foster and all of the other absentees!
Guys - I think I left my bike Garmin on top of my bumper when I put my bike on the rack yesterday after Sheryl's ride. I remember removing it - and placing it there.

This year there has not been any issues arising from suspected doping. Can it be that cycling is over the doping scandal?
I came across this website today and just thought I'd share it!!
Geez there are so many people I have not seen in so long! Where are Rick, Tashaud, and Bill? David, Foster, Rita, Sheryl, Maria, Eric, Frank, etc...etc....

Crashes happen in cycling. They happen for a variety of reasons but equipment failure accidents can be reduced by inspecting your bicycle before you ride.
Good luck Lloyd on this year's Seattle to Portland Ride this weekend! I wish I was joining you! Last year we had 5 RBC riders enjoying the ride!
I took a spur of the moment solo ride to Bear Mountain and up Perkins.

Tonight's ride was a bit muggy but the breeze from riding was great!
Restarted the 5:30am ride this morning on a very nice morning. Nice 1 hour ride, but I was solo. I did see Lloyd and John running at the Rockland Lake as they were getting ready for the West Point Tri next month. Lloyd, you don't need to wear spandex when you are running ;-)
8 of us began the ride (Maria, Jimmy, Marshall, Malcom, Paul (NOT PATH!), Daniel, me, and mind blank...I can't remember...aughh!! My aplogies in advance!!!, and only 6 of us returned....stay tuned...
What a great ride today! GREAT peeps turned out! Daniel, Dan, John, John, Ami and me (Sheryl). Lots of hills, and lots of fun. We got passed by in-line SPEED SKATERS on 9W! They were sososososo cOOL and were professional international racers too! We also checked out a motorcycle on the Piermont Pier, then stopped into Piermont BS to say hello and tell them that they were TICKETING on 9W on the shoulder to people who were riding doubled!! ON THE SHOULDER!! After the almost last climb we made it back to TOGA and said hello to Wendy P! A GREAT RIDE WITH GREAT FOLKS! SEE you all tomorrow!
Well good evening ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we had several new folks join our ride. I take this opportunity to introduce some fine new riders to the club. New tonight were Warren, John, and Carleen. A hearty welcome to you all!
What a day to be on a bike! We were a veritable RBC Fashion Through the Ages show. Shawn and I wore original, oldstyle club jerseys, while Debbie and Amy sported the newer club design, Debbie in sleeveless and Amy in short sleeves. All quite [i:e0a6ff5886]a la mode[/i:e0a6ff5886], paired with tasteful and trendy black shorts or skirts. Dang, we were stylin'.
