I'd like to try help close this discussion thread with a note on some past WCC Program logistics info - There are, of course a number of ways to handle the...
Lloyd, I don't know the route from NYC to White Plains, but I would recommend the double century route 110%. It is the flattest and most scenic possible....
Lauren, While I suppose you could recover a seat (I doubt if it would be the same saddle you are used to), I would suggest a cheaper alternative, buy a new...
Thanks for the suggestion, of course the seat I have they don't have anymore, but I don't know what it is. Was thinking of trying a shoe repair shop....
Lauren, Here's my position, but you might very well prove me wrong: My guess is the cost of repair will approach or rival the cost of a new saddle and will...
Kevan, Great advice on the saddle. Hope you are upgrading your shifters to Ergo. I still use my 8sp Ergo shifters from 1993, rode in with them today. Just...
Variety is the spice of life, you know that, Bruce. To change the brifters over to Campy, as you well know, means a nearly complete overhaul of the bike's...
for what it's worth, I've run a few mixed campy/shimano setups with success. Maybe i've been lucky, but i've never even needed a j-tek shiftmate to mix...
Valid point Josh, the FD is pretty much the same animal regardless the label. My Bridgestone is made up of different parts; I think some belong in a kitchen. ...
Ahhh...tricky one, that. You'll have to run Suntour with a blend of some Huret and Simplex parts, I'm afraid. Course, the Japanese collectors have driven up...
I just read Bruce's article on the Tuesday/Thursday night training rides. I'm very happy to see the same invitation to the slower groups that was there last...
I am planning to do Thursdays. I have class on Tuesday night until May. I am going to bring my iphone with gps for when I get dropped ... -- Kate Marshall 13...
Hi: Would you please tell me what type of training group on tues & thurs nights is this and where? Thanks Ellen ________________________________ From: Josh...
Ellen, The description/details are in the March newsletter - http://www.westchestercycleclub.org/mywcc/newsletter.php?year=0 I believe they'll also be posted...

This is a great ride... I encourage all of those interested to come check it out. You will get much, much stronger if you come consistently and there is some...
james: I am not stronc...only I would say a C+. I am VERY intimated by the rides after being left behind last year...BAD experience. Do you think I will be...
Perhaps a group of B riders can come out on these rides and form a slower group.. I know I was dropped unceremoniously on Whipporwill a year or two ago..... ...
and Whipporwill is only the warm up ;) ... slower ... or two ... check it ... there is ... Kensico Dam ... Tuesday and ... to begin ... com> ... thurs nights ...
I was doing so well until Whipporwill, feeling like I could keep up with those lithe young bucks.... David McKay Wilson Writer 104 Topland Road Mahopac, NY...
Ain't that route mostly down hill 'til then? Kevan ________________________________ From: WCCChat@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WCCChat@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
something in addition to Bruce's article: While the group officially starts in White Plains, quite a number of people, incl. myself, are joining at the corner...
Looking at the shortest route, whippoorwill seems to be the longest climb; the rest is rollers. So us slower riders are good at least until the days get...
I just ordered a replacement RoadID plate. It came with a discount coupon. The coupon is good for $1 off any Road ID order placed by 03/29/2009. To order,...
Ellen, I would say if you rate yourself a C+ rider, then no, Tuesday/Thursdays are not for you. There are actually 5 good weeknight rides for WCC/USI members...
Josh, The clue to staying with the Thursday ride is to come out on EVERY ride and work as hard as you can to stay on. Whippoorwill is a bitch, but is not the...
Dave, What the club (and Westchester cyclists) need in general is a Wednesday night group ride that works on pace line skills, group riding skills and such. It...
