November - December 2004

It is hard to believe that the season has passed us by so quickly. Seems like it was just a few weeks ago that we were struggling through a rainy spring training series and riding or working on Bike New York and the Montauk Century. The summer just flew by.

However there’s no reason to stop riding now, just because it’s a little colder or windier outside. Look at the winter as the pre-training season. Sure, there may be other things you need to do, but wouldn’t you rather be riding?

Frostbite Rides

The club’s annual Frostbite series returns with the start of December and runs through February. Look for rides to some favorite destinations such as the Broadway Diner in Bayonne (kickoff ride), Dim Sum and Lights in Dyker Heights, Uncle George’s in Astoria and the Cloisters Museum in Upstate Manhattan.

Remember to dress appropriately for the season. Temperatures can drop suddenly so make sure you go out with enough layers to stay warm. It’s time to break out the leg warmers and booties, balaclavas and neck gaitors. Also, please remember to bring a lock, pump, and spare tube for many of our rides, especially if our ride description mentions food.
