Any body coming? 1006 ? Three new members here. ?
So did everything get sorted out?

I got to the bridge late. I didn't notice I had a flat from my ride yesterday until right before i was headed out. I rode to Mattie's and drank coffee for a while waiting just in case before heading back He said he hadn't seen anybody other than Neil. I saw two lone Kissenas on the way back but not the ride
Good ride today; one of the prospects flatted on the way down State line, so we stopped early at the old (no longer) abandoned shack which is a perfect short turnaround spot now.

Good times; me, Jeff White, #twoDaves (Stokes & Yang), Craig Z for a while and Tim. Met up with Chaim, Austin and ...? wow I suck with names.

All three seemed really simpatico.

My first long ride since June or July I think. Almost forgot the way home.
First use of wind vest and toe warmers in a long time. But the newbies seemed pretty solid.
@jules, third rider was Sean.

Sorry we missed you Rick!
@jules, third rider was Sean. Sorry we missed you Rick!
Yes, sorry Rick. And the names were confusing. Austin was the Irishman, Sean the American. #gofigure
Cross posting:

I'm hosting a meet Kissena ride tomorrow in Prospect Park, along with a Redbeard ride. Meet up at 8am at the GAP.

Come join us for a few laps around the Park. Meet potential members, and enjoy Ilya's and Kasia's company.

This is a club event so ideally, the more Kissenas the better.
I'll be there
Hi Phillip,
I have a friend that emailed kissena to join on a new member ride but never got a reply, shouldI tell him about the new member ride in prospect tomorrow?
Yes Chaim, go right ahead.
Chaim, what John said. Everyone's invited.
@Phillip Maronilla
New member ride up to Sparkill on Sunday.......9AM at GWB?
Yes. Thanks Rick. Come join us this Sunday. Meet potential recruits on a social ride. 9am GW.
Sunday ? That clashes with Paris-Roubaix !
forgot about that
I'll be there Sunday on the way up, but I'll be going long, so won't be coming back with y'all.
Thanks to everyone who helped today. Eloy, Jeff W, Bruce, Sean, Patrick, Niall and Rick. Good times.
The prospective new guys all seemed pretty cool and enthusiastic. I hope they join the club.

a few photos from today, cheers!

Always fun looking at your photos Eloy. Thanks.
Meet Kissena ride this Sunday at the usual time (9am GW). Come and ride to Piermont with us and meet potential new members (so far 4 signed up).
I think it could be a good idea to have a Meet Kissena ride on Saturday Nov 7th or Sunday Nov 8th following the women's social to see if the women who are interested in joining the team can hang on a group ride.  Also, if there are any new men who want to ride, that would great too.  Hopefully there isn't snow by then!
Mark your calendars!

If the training plan calls for a test on Saturday. Wouldn't Sun 28th be better?
That's possible, but Eloy, I don't have anything listed on my training peaks schedule that far out.  Maybe your schedule is different since you started later?
I went ahead and changed it to Sunday, just in case though ;)
