Howdy,

i am Connor and I live near Prospect Park over in park slope. I recently got into riding bikes this past summer/fall after too many years running. I ran for SUNY Geneseo throughout college, cranking those miles out so I look forward to having a decently structured training. I also love learning all things performance and related science stuff. 

Outside of biking, I am a big surfer, skier, and pretty much anything outdoors. Right now, I’m in Salt Lake City for a little ski trip after driving from Brooklyn to here. I love to go on some dirt bag trips like this. 

Im a pretty relaxed dude so if any of the above stuff makes you want to go for ride, let me know. I am also a huge fan of Tex-mex food and coffee or beer.

only good things,
connor 

Welcome Connor!

Hi everyone,

I am Thomas Chen. I came from Shanghai and is a current undergrad student at NYU. The meet Kissena ride is actually my first bike ride in nearly a year after my crash last year. It feels so good to be on my bike again! I have raced in a few criteriums when I was in high school until my crash haha! I hope by joining this club, I can build up my fitness and confidence again and appreciate the awesomeness of cycling! Calpe, Spain is my favorite cycling destination (and the only destination I rode my bike properly). We should definitely go if anyone is interested! 

Apart from cycling, I am a huge soccer fan since I lived in the UK for the past few years! I am an Arsenal fan and a fake Everton fan. 

Hope to meet everyone soon on the road!

Welcome @HamedaMckenzie!

Thank you! 

@cpulvidente What's up fellow Atlantic Region guy!

All new members above, Welcome to the club!

Welcome everyone!

Warm welcome to all! Looking forward to seeing everyone out on the road as the weather warms up 

You're right @HamedaMckenzie, cycling jerseys make this sport so cool! I'm glad you joined us. See who else is riding in Central Park so you can ride together. Together = Better.

Hi all! I just joined Team Kissena this past week. I took a spin with a bunch of you guys last weekend to Piermont from the GWB. I also raced in today's L&C race (Cat 5). I'm originally from Virginia and moved to NYC about 15 years ago. I work in real estate in midtown and live in Queens. I commute daily year round from Queens to Midtown and do the occasional gravel ride. This year I've decided to get into road racing. If you guys see me around say "what's up"! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

Some pics of me on my gravel bike and a pic of my road bike (bc if you're like me you're just as likely to remember a bike over a face)

Welcome welcome new members. Looking forward to meeting you in person on rides or at the races!

Welcome to club Kevin.

Hi All, James Neu here. New member. I met some of you last Saturday on the ride to Piermont.   I've done a bit of road racing and looking to do more this year.  I'm into MTB and race some of the 100K/100m stuff as much as possible. Always down for a gravel ride too. Will see you all in PP too as I live in Carroll Gardens. 

I'll be posting some MTB rides as the weather warms and I have car with bike racks!

 Excited to ride with all of you. - James
