Will there be bouncer? Can't have people cut in line when there's Pizza on the line! Nothing can't stop me and my carbs :#
Nope, call ups are based on amount of food consumed at previous year end parties. I'm first in the door.
if you pre-reg, then you are all set. If you do day of... well...

Thanks to all those who organized the party last night. It was fun seeing so many familiar and new faces. It also provided the opportunity to see the new club champion jersey, which is absolutely awesome. I admit to being envious of the lucky few who get to wear it.

Grainy since it was dark and the phone doesn't do low light as well as my dSLR.

And yes it was darker then what the phone rendered.

KCC Folks- because of the rise of the Omicron Variant and the spiking infection rate in NYC, the board made the difficult decision to postpone the year end party until after the new year. We really didn't want to have to do this, but we felt for everyone's safety and the safety of families that we may be seeing with the upcoming holiday it was the smart thing to do. But keep a look out at this space as we are definitely going to replan and kick off the new year right!

If you already paid and would like a refund, please reach out to @jim_nelson and he can get you squared away (your payment will otherwise roll over to the rescheduled party). We hope that everyone has a safe and healthy holiday, gets to get out on a bike and has a happy and healthy new year!

***PARTY POSTPONED***

Kissena friends and family, we were so looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, Friday December 2nd, but unfortunately a lot of folks dropped out due to post-Thanksgiving illnesses and busy holiday schedules. The club will sadly have to postpone this year's party. The board didn't feel right about throwing a big ol' celebration of you without all of you there to celebrate with.

We'll coordinate a date that works best for as many members as possible so we can properly party together. For those who paid this year or last, we have the receipts so will transfer that over to the new date. Please feel free to reach out to Matt, Dave, Jim or Pat if you have questions.

Holiday cheers to you and yours and we'll see you soon!
And I sent in my money an hour before the postponement.

Bummer to postpone.  But getting sick is worse.  Hope people get over whatever they have with no hospitalizations.

But perhaps I should be thankful.  I'm attending a bat mitzvah tomorrow.  Three events in two days might have been too much risk on the virus front.  Definitely masking for the service.  
Save the date!

Plenty of space for bike parking , a couple of car spaces on my driveway and street parking is normally ok

Sadly I can't make the date, Amy and I are taking her youngest one out for their bday party with friends to someplace in NJ and will be back late-ish...  As it is I'm burning the candle at both ends lately..

Hey, you! Yes, I mean you. You should go to the Kissena holiday party Sunday. But can one social event with lycra wearing styrofoam headed folks be enough? Fear not! Our shop sponsor Ride Brooklyn is hosting a shop holiday party on Thursday the 19th. Head over for food and drinks and discounts on bike things.
