It's Not Too Late to Register for First Brick Session!

The first brick session of the season has just begun and it's not too late to register! You can either purchase sessions separately (pay as you go) or as part of the ALL-YOU-CAN-TRAIN package which is by far the greatest money saver.

We have greatly expanded our training programs for the 2008 season. Our BRIKPAKs are now THREE days a week (an increase from one day a week). Our cadre of professional coaches will lead our weekly runs and weekend rides. In addition, we have designated a few races as our Main/Primary Races (see our calendar announcement for details).

We are also introducing a new pricing tier:
The TANYC ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN Package.

With this package, which includes membership, you can purchase all of our BRICKPAKs, weekly rides and runs year-round, and also get our great benefits for the low price of $300. You will receive a high quality racing singlet or jersey too! The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package gives you the most cost effective means to get our programs in a flexible way.

Already a member and want to upgrade to the ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN Package? Click the link below to upgrade.

The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package offers:
o ALL Three BRIKPAKS (9 weeks at 3 days a week each. $140 each if purchased separately under the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package)
o FULL MEMBERSHIP ($60 if purchased separately)
o Our weekly runs and bikes (from late Jan.-Nov. at least once week. $100 if purchased separately)
o Free Singlet or Uniform
o ALL Comprehensive Benefits membership benefits such as free mentors assigned; our weekly newsletter; our free high tech online graphical training; access to 600-member discussion group; discounts to major triathlon; running and biking stores in NYC; 20% membership discount to the YMCA; and more.

For those who want to buy a la carte, you can still purchase our various programs separately (BRIKPAKs, weekly rides, runs, membership, etc) under our PAY-AS-YOU-GO packages. These packages are only available to TANYC members.

Looking for Inspirational Athletes

If you live for the thrill that the tri-world brings, we want you to share that enthusiasm. We're looking for dedicated, accomplished athletes who can serve as motivators, educators and role models. Being a mentor to a less experienced athlete requires very little of your time. It usually only involves answering a few questions by email or over the phone. And the little time you can spare will mean a lot to an up-and-coming athlete who wants to be guided by the best.

Hi all.

  I'm moving and have sold my clamshell bike case. I didn't like the
  way it looked in my living room so I made a piece of furniture to
  cover it. It looks like a dark brown radiator cover that hides the
  large gray box perfectly and creates extra table/counter space.

  I'm selling it for $45.

  Contact me asap if you are interested as I am moving on Wednesday.

  -stella

  PS- This piece also doubles perfectly for boot box storage if you
  don't have a clamshell bike box. One side is solid wood and the other
  side has a curtain with a tension rod for easy access.

Little used Polar s520. Selling because I do not use it. All parts
included and in working order (bike mount, polar t61 transmitter,
watch, etc)

http://www.polarusa.com/Products/medical/CS520.asp

This sells for $230 new. It was barely used and works fine. The t61
transmitter sells for $75 new so the watch and bike mount as
essentially freebies at this price.

Contact me anytime via email (sbieker@...)

-"Ordinary Mortal" Dr. Seven Jonas to Speak at Cadence Cycling


Last Chance to Register for First Brick Session!

The first brick session of the season starts April 1st! You can either purchase sessions separately (pay as you go) or as part of the ALL-YOU-CAN-TRAIN package which is by far the greatest money saver.

We have greatly expanded our training programs for the 2008 season. Our BRIKPAKs are now THREE days a week (an increase from two days a week). Our cadre of professional coaches will lead our weekly runs and weekend rides. In addition, we have designated a few races as our Main/Primary Races (see our calendar announcement for details).

We are also introducing a new pricing tier:
The TANYC ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN Package.

With this package, which includes membership, you can purchase all of our BRICKPAKs, weekly rides and runs year-round, and also get our great benefits for the low price of $300. You will receive a high quality racing singlet or jersey too! The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package gives you the most cost effective means to get our programs in a flexible way.

Already a member and want to upgrade to the ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN Package? Click the link below to upgrade.

The ALL-YOU-CAN TRAIN package offers:
o ALL Three BRIKPAKS (9 weeks at 3 days a week each. $140 each if purchased separately under the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package)
o FULL MEMBERSHIP ($60 if purchased separately)
o Our weekly runs and bikes (from late Jan.-Nov. at least once week. $100 if purchased separately)
o Free Singlet or Uniform
o ALL Comprehensive Benefits membership benefits such as free mentors assigned; our weekly newsletter; our free high tech online graphical training; access to 600-member discussion group; discounts to major triathlon; running and biking stores in NYC; 20% membership discount to the YMCA; and more.

For those who want to buy a la carte, you can still purchase our various programs separately (BRIKPAKs, weekly rides, runs, membership, etc) under our PAY-AS-YOU-GO packages. These packages are only available to TANYC members.

Reserve Your Compu-trainer for the Indoor Team Ride II

ImageBring your cycling gear (yep, that means your bike, too!), water bottles, nutrition and come ready to sweat! TANYC's Indoor Ride II is set for this Saturday, March 8th from 1:00pm until 2:30pm at Cadence Cycling.

Cadence, NYC's premier cycling and multisport center, will host Saturday's ride at their TriBeCa facility, located at 174 Hudson Street, about 1 block south of Canal Street (and 2 blocks east of the west side recreational path).

At Cadence, you will be able to hook your bike up to a state-of-the-art compu-trainer and hit the road as you never have. Their programs will give you a chance to do a lap of IM New Zealand; the Columbia, MD triathlon; escape from Alcatraz; or any of a host of others. As with last month's ride, the Indoor Ride II is FREE and is only open for TANYC members.

Cadence's Director of Performance, Mikael Hanson, will lead the ride. Mikael, an accomplished athlete and coach, was part of the team that established a new Guinness World Record™ for most miles traveled on a single stationary bike in 24 hours last month.

Mountain bikes will not be allowed (hybrids, ok) and your bike must have slick tires. There are a limited number of stations, so please rsvp early to reserve your space at tanycinfo@....

Get Ready for the Indoor Team Ride II

ImageBring your cycling gear (yep, that means your bike, too!), water bottles, nutrition and come ready to sweat! TANYC's Indoor Ride II is set for March 8th from 1:00pm until 2:30pm at Cadence Cycling.

Cadence, NYC's premier cycling and multisport center, will host the March ride at their TriBeCa facility, located at 174 Hudson Street, about 1 block south of Canal Street (and 2 blocks east of the west side recreational path).

At Cadence, you will be able to hook your bike up to a state-of-the-art compu-trainer and hit the road as you never have. Their programs will give you a chance to do a lap of IM New Zealand; the Columbia, MD triathlon; escape from Alcatraz; or any of a host of others. As with last month's ride, the Indoor Ride II is FREE and is only open for TANYC members.

Cadence's Director of Performance, Mikael Hanson, will lead the ride. Mikael, an accomplished athlete and coach, was part of the team that established a new Guinness World Record™ for most miles traveled on a single stationary bike in 24 hours last month.

Mountain bikes will not be allowed (hybrids, ok) and your bike must have slick tires. There are a limited number of stations, so please rsvp early to reserve your space at tanycinfo@....

The Bumpy Road to Fame: Stefan Kusurelis' Record-Breaking Story
Image When TANYC discovered one of its own was going to attempt to break a world record, we were more than a little excited for him. That the would-be record breaker had been profiled last April in TidBits was icing on the cake.

TANYC founding member, Stefan Kusurelis, with his team from Cadence Cycling, established a new Guinness World Record™ for most miles traveled on a single stationary bike in 24 hours. The team cycled a total of 829.84 miles at an average pace of 34.58 miles per hour. The records were broken during New York Sports Clubs™ Saints and Spinners event, a 24-hour Spinฎ-a-Thon benefit in Grand Central Terminal. The event, which took place from 7 a.m. Friday, January 18, through 7 a.m. Saturday, January 19, raised over $250,000 for HealthCorps, a non-profit organization founded by "Oprah Winfrey Show" health expert Dr. Mehmet Oz devoted to fighting teen obesity.

When New York Sports Clubs came to Cadence to ask them to assemble a team, they initially thought they'd approach cyclists they know with the challenge. After some discussion amongst themselves, they realized the Cadence staff had just as good a shot at breaking the record as any team they could bring together. Chad Butts, Mikael Hanson, Tucker Brown, Thomas Wood, Holden Comeau, and Stefan decided to go for it.

The day before the event, NYSC delivered a bike similar to the one on which they'd break the record: a Star Trac NXT spinner. With so little time to personalize it, all they could do was swap out the clunky toe-cage pedals with Shimano Dura Ace pedals and cover the hard plastic seat with a far more comfortable Fizik Arione saddle. They decided to go for the record in rotating 30-minute shifts, pedaling without resistance, as fast as humanly possible for that 24-hour period, which would have each of them on the bike for a total of four hours. None of them were completely prepared for what awaited the following day.

Picture the scene: one hundred stationary bikes filled with riders, a new instructor, and a D-list celebrity (think one of those The Bachelor guys, Miss USA and local newscasters) changing every hour. A tuxedoed MC. An Australian flown in especially for the event who rode every single hour, without sleep. Television cameras. Photographers. Sponsors' tents. Add to all this, the hundreds of thousands of people streaming in and out of (arguably) the busiest place on the planet. And, in the rear, with a birds-eye view of it all, a roped-off stage where the Cadence team took their shot at making the history books.

The set up for the team was two bikes on a stage behind the hundred other riders. One bike was attached to an odometer for the Guinness people. The other bike was for the rider who was up next to warm up. When the Cadence team arrived, someone from Guinness asked if any of them wanted to try to break the individual record for longest distance in an hour on a spinner bike. None of them had expected this additional record-breaking opportunity, but they were up for the challenge.

Stefan went first, moving fast and furiously, cooking under an enormous flood light located no less than four feet behind him and cooled by a six-inch plastic fan powered by (what seemed to him like) arthritic gerbils. Within five minutes, he was drenched with sweat. Within 20 minutes, his rear end started to get sore from all the bouncing up and down he was doing at a cadence of no less than 160 revolutions per minute. At 45 minutes, he had broken the record definitively. After an hour and (he estimated) 19,800 "butt bumps," his hip flexors and lower shins were shot, but the pain was nothing compared to the glow of being in the record books, finishing with 38.9 miles pedaled. That glow, however, dissipated hours later when his teammate, Holden, broke his record by less than two miles. He couldn't be disappointed, though, considering he was the first to have broken a five-year-old record.

Characteristic of his sharp sense of humor, Stefan told Holden, "My time would have been better, but I blew a tire and there was no support van in sight," immediately after Holden broke his record. Then he threw in, "Plus it was still dark at 7am, and I had to go slowly since I had such limited visibility."

Staying completely focused during the 24-hour period was perhaps the most challenging for Stefan - especially given the circumstances. Sleeping with throbbing music pounding in his ears every moment was nearly impossible, so he never managed more than 30 minutes of shut-eye at any one time. Whenever it was his turn on the bike, he fought not to be lulled into slowing his high cadence while riding directly behind 100 other people whose cadences rarely exceeded 60 or 70 rpm.

And then there were the moments that seemed more surreal to him. At one point during a restroom break around midnight, a chef from one of the dozens of eateries in Grand Central went into one of the stalls carrying a large ladle; Stefan exited before he could discover the man's intentions. Another surreal moment for him was one of those times when he did try to rest, jamming his six-foot, seven-inch frame into a six-foot-long cot, staring up at the 48-foot intricately molded ceilings from which stately 20-foot-long chandeliers hang and wondering, as every endurance athlete has at some point or other wondered, "Why am I doing this?"

Perhaps the most ironic part for Stefan was the fact that the event's purpose was to raise funds to fight teen obesity and he ate more in that 24-hour period than many people eat in a week, consuming approximately 15,000 - 16,000 calories' worth of food.

By late evening, cadence became a measurement of time. In the beginning, the team pushed 160 rpm. They were down to 140 by evening and, 120 or 130 in the wee hours of the morning. Not only did their cadence slow over time, but the handlebars that had been as low as possible at the start, gradually crept upward and by 5am, the handlebars were as high as the seat.

In the days that followed, the entire Cadence team still felt the effects of those 24 hours. One person seriously mulled using crutches. Another, whose commute to work is a mere 1,000 downhill yards, cramped up twice and had to get off of his bike and walk. And another carried around a cushy pillow on which to place his sore derriere whenever he sat down. For all of them, it was as though they'd gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson battering their backsides.

For an entire week, the only way Stefan could get on and off a bike was to lace his fingers behind his knees and haul them over the side. He knew he'd be sore, but he had no idea how incapacitated he'd feel. His left leg swelled from mid thigh to just below the knee for four days. Sitting in front of his computer - something he does for hours at a time in his work as an architect - became an exercise in will power since his nether regions were so tender. And there was no chance in hell he'd be able to participate in the act of fathering children for a good long while. This alone is reason enough for him to swear that he'd never again try to break the record, but isn't that what people say when they cross the finish line of an Ironman only to sign up for next year's race as soon as registration opens?

Need to take your bike on a trip but unable to invest in a bike box? TANYC has available bike boxes available to rent at the very reasonable rate of $50 ($65 for non-members) per week, with an $80 ($100 for non-members) security deposit on SEPARATE check or money order. Once the box is returned to us in good condition, your security deposit will be returned to you.

Please contact Betsy Fader for more details at bfader@....
