a few more pics from today

What a day , perfect weather , headed to the orchards , on the climb the bike felt odd, felt like the pedal had broken, checked it out seem fine heading back through Nyack
bingo!

 
TOO MUCH POWAH! 

Good thing you left that sticker on.

On reflection ,I'm very grateful this happen where & when it did ,because the implications if this failed in a "sprint" could of been very serious

Apparently, this is a known problem.

" had that feeling like the pedal axle had been buckled – you know how the bikes we had as kids which were always left on their sides on the floor and so put buckles into cheap pedal axles"

I'd seen this before on line ,I have actually not seen any with the left side failure

I joke, but that was my first thought, glad it did not turned into an accident. Also, wondering how you managed to get home?

Pierpoint Saturday?

Saturday we are racing prospect park. Come race, win, volunteer, spectate. 

@DavidVibert come race or hang on Saturday. I think you're prob going to be racing Track on Sunday so can't do group ride then?

I have to get a five hour ride in on Saturday per my training plan. I’ll try to come chill at the race then head out for it after that.

I'm dropping the kids at the velodrome tomorrow and heading out to Cunningham after that. 9:30. Text me on Slack if interested.

i'll be at GWB in the 9am zone, probably river rd bradley tweed route. thunderstorm's not til 4 but will check the weather again in the morning before leaving.

Sorry I missed you Remy, I might have been able to do a lap or two around Cunningham before I had to go home after the park race.

@James Reeder I should be there for 9a.

I’m doing a beat the rain ride over the GW-RR-Market Coffee-9W return. Leaving 6:00am from 86th/RIverside.

Yikes that’s 5am from BK!

I'm gonna try my best to make it by 9am, but it's way past my bedtime right now so we'll see.

@GregHoge I'm out. Rode 5 mins in that and it's a no from me dog. Zwift instead if people are around

Hitting zwift in 5...

Hanging with the 6:00am crew

We got wet!

Y'all maniacs in a good way.

Anyone interested in riding either (or both) days this weekend?

Tomorrow Saturday: June 25th. 
8 am Brooklyn Bridge
9 am GWB

I can only ride about 3 hours tomorrow, so might hit River Road and turn around, but depending on who else shows up you can ride forever.

Some of us are considering a gravel ride on Sunday. Likely this route or some variation, but we'll decide tomorrow, will post then.

Might join you, if that’s okay, Eloy! I’m desperate to ride, but need to be home by 11am/noon at the latest.
