Word on the street is that people are getting clotheslined in prospect park. Watch out!
It's an annual scare, it seems. Yet to be corroborated.

I bet its by Big Turbo Trainer lobby, this time of year they're looking to get cyclists back indoors using their products. #NobodyClothesliningMeInMyLaudryRoom


Check out the KCC Facebook page for pictures from last night!  https://www.facebook.com/KissenaCyclingClub/posts/887089451359417?
Good times yesterday guys!!!

Jill, there's a thread over on the New York City Cyclocross FB page started by super volunteer Stephanie Henry that is SCREAMING out for a quick KCC pitch. You know, mentors, clinics, Training Peaks, etc. Actually the only reason why KCC wouldn't be a great place for Staphanie, is that she and her husband live up closer to the cross course than anywhere in the city.
I reported a crash that happened to me in the following thread:  http://kissenacycling.vanillaforums.com/discussion/64/injury-sprains-strains-breaks-insurance#latest

Check it out if you're interested.  It's good to learn from others mistakes!
Ladies, please come join me this Saturday for the Meet Kissena Ride!  Usual times 8am BB, 9am GWB
Women's team! Who is riding with me tomorrow?  There are a ton of women coming on this Meet Kissena ride and we need some representation!

This is a great opportunity to meet new teammates and discuss winter training progress!
Im going to miss out on the ride since I'm working tomorrow...have fun guys!!!!!
Ladies, if you want to look all cool and matchy matchy with a new Poc helmet, go talk to Kasia at Redbeard.  We get a really amazing deal on those helmets!
Yes! And we have the Kissena orange ones in stock, so, instant
gratification!
(Poc is usually a bit of a wait, so this is a great situation.)
The Champion System team store will be open on the following dates throughout 2016:

1. January 12th to January 19th
2. February 29th to March 7th
3. May 2nd to May 9th

5. August 22nd to August 29th
6. October 17th to October 24th
Ladies, come join me for the team computrainer sessions!  It will be a good winter motivator.  
A friend of mine, Mim Gilbert, who is on the Dave Jordan cycling team suggested that we do a Kissena women vs. Dave Jordan women bowl off.  I think this would be a lot of fun and it's great to meet other women who you will be racing against.  Familiar faces are always calming when you're nervous at the start of a race!

Who is interested?
Women's Team:

This is an important note regarding kit ordering.  For some reason, the nice bib shorts (Donna Forte Razor Bella Bib shorts) are not on the main list on the ordering page.  In order to find them, I had to click on all proofs and then it was located at the end of the second row.  There is one proof that says shorts and bibs that has pics of jerseys and skinsuits.  That is the one that has the nice new bib shorts that I've added to the order.  

They are called the:
Donna Forte Razor Bella Bib shorts

*Make sure that you don't accidentally order the razor bella cycle shorts, as these are NOT bibs.  I did this by accident at first and I'm working on getting this removed from order choices.

Let me know if you have questions!

FWIW, I don't own a pair of CS non-bibs, BUT a well constructed pair of regular shorts (I used to own some Voler shorts), that extend higher in the back are both comfortable (especially in the hottest weather) and modest (no exposed backside).
Also, if anyone is interested, I have a windvest, Women's Size Small that I'll sell you for $50.  It's sponsor correct, worn ~3 times
