The fall season is sprinkled with some of the great annual classics, from the NYC Century ride in early September to the Tour de Bronx as the closer in October. In the meantime our club offers you alternatives to every single event worthy of your consideration.

For one thing we have a slew of new original rides from some of this year’s new leader graduates. Please encourage these new leaders by showing up for their rides. They want to give back to the club and I’m sure their rides will help inspire some of you to one day, take the leadership class for yourselves.

In addition, we have some returning favorites on offer. Consider the Bear Mountain Metric Century ride, the ride to the Oyster Bay Oyster Festival, and the relatively new Scenic Katonah, all rides that will emphasize the fall foliage.

As the season of 2007 draws to a close, so too does my tenure as the club’s Day Trips Coordinator. For the past 4 years I have overseen the daytrips programs and I have been impressed by so many of you. Our program too has grown and prospered, with thanks to the participation of so many of our members.
