Tonight, 7:30pm @ Tavern
Doping clinic.

I listened to The Cure, by myself.
We can only go up from here.
I delivered some napkins to the guy gushing blood from his head in front of the boathouse cafe.
We need to plan this better.
What on earth happened?  
That was nice of you. I also saw a person with no helmet laid out on Cat Paw. Carnage!

I'll make a Strava weekly ride 7:30pm. Can make it 7pm if you prefer Stokes?
I've avoided riding in CP in the evenings this year because of the crowd and police harrasment etc. I'm curious tho do you still stop (or expected to stop) at red lights at night? Assuming no pedestrians in sight? That would impact my decision to ride.
Not stopping unless ped in crosswalk, don't know if new blitz changes that.
... That is to say, am always cautious and stop when next to po at red light in park, only to see multiple riders blow through and no reaction.
I will be there once i am not sick!
Bring your sniffle to this Thursdays' ride Mr Yellow jersey.
New members Margaret and Ryan and myself road some easy laps, discussed CP group riding skills and hammered out 4 Harlem "kill the hill" loops before calling it a day. Two new diesels join the club, some impressive power there. Erika missed the boat. Will post some early morning rides for next week 6am Tuesday/Weds. Go CP Kissena!
Hi John, 


when do you guys usually ride in cp? I would love to join. I think I saw you guys today, but it was kind dark and j walkers didn't help.

Sorry, work has been erratic.  I've been getting there later lately, if at all.  Scheduling issues likely to continue.  Glad to hear we're assembling a CP crew though!
anybody riding tmr after work? like 6 or 7 ish?


6am Ride Wednesday @ Tavern on Green
Will discuss and do a few interval sets.
Good ride this morning, intervals and a "catch Alyosha" doing his 20 min efforts. Scott is the latest addition to Kissena Diesels™.

Planning on Tuesday and Wednesday 6am's next week. Chime in if there's a better morning that works for you, would be great to have a few more people out.

Lastly, don't forget Thursday night Tavern @ 7pm and JP's classic Friday morning ride (see separate thread for deets).

I guess i miss the morning ride today. morning rides will be kind hard for me, but will join you guys next Thursday night after fixing the bike 
I'll be there tonight, though if I'm not at Tavern by 7p, I'll jump on around horseshit alley a short while later.
Can't make the ride tonight, David can you lead please?
Sorry, got to host a colleague for dinner.
Jeez guys, hint taken, I'll go back to Brooklyn and ride in circles there...

(I'll try really hard to make Tavern by 7p in case there are any new members waiting).
Will try to be there at 7.
See you out there, Tim.
I'm aiming for 7pm. Where is Tavern?
Its tavern on the green, the restaurant. West side, around 66th street entrance.
Good times tonight with big John, Niall, Rigby, Tim Wang, and Phil. John drilled us on hill repeats and ate tons of wind leading us out with each successive faster lap. Great to see Tim holding his own. Phil, you looked super strong, just in time for cross season!

One sad note, on our last lap after John left, Niall was doing his usual diesel pace setting at the front when a family of raccoons started crossing the path. He managed to avoid two but hit the third. Luckily Niall stayed upright and didn't suddenly brake so the rest of us stayed upright as well. Poor raccoon friend...
Good times.
Good ride. Those hill repeats do get you. Pretty dramatic when the raccoons did the jay walk. Thank god nothing happened.
Thanks all for coming out. Nial are you making a new hat?
Poor guy made a last minute dive bomb into my wheel :-/  Feel bad. Gonna pour an ice bucket of water over my head and make a donation to the WWF.
