Wow, I sense some hostility. You might have considered sending this to just lynn
and not the whole list.

Subject: Re: [bfclubny] TWC ride to The Wharf at Rockaway Park, Thursday, Nov. 8


Lynette,
 
Thanks for promoting our rides, however, I wish you would stop referring to us
as "retired." Yes, some of us are retired but many of our riders are not. Some
are self employed, unemployed, in between jobs, independently wealthy, have flex
working schedules, play hooky from work, etc. The Weekday Cyclists were never
intended for just retired folks and we would prefer not be billed us such. We
just happen to be a club that rides during the week as opposed to weekends. I'm
sure you do not refer to other club's rides "for retired folks." Besides,
younger people are put off by groups that makes it sound like for "retired
folks."
 
When you listed us on the BF web site, I also asked you at that time not to
refer to us as "retired." I hope this time you get it.
 
Thanks.
 
Trudy

Folks, here's what's in store for The WeekDay Cyclist's upcoming Thursday ride -
for retired folk, or those on flex schedules ... I might put onmy retiree
imposter hat and do this one! Contact Trudy http://www.weekdayc
<http://www.weekdaycyclists.org/> yclists.org to join this group. She's of
course a BF owner (as well as a Seven owner). See her at http://www.bikefrid

Tuesday's the group does laps of Central Park.
I tried to hook up with the 5BBC for their Palisades bike and hike on Sunday but
somehow missed them by 9 mins at the start. Instead, I ran into Jeff Gilbert on
his Air Friday so we hung out all day. Small and smaller world!

Dear Weekday Cyclists,
 
Even though our regular Thursday rides are officially from April through
October, some of us like to ride all year long. Ann does not ride in the
wintertime so I will be leading the winter rides. However, I will be taking some
Thursdays off.
 The destination of the winter rides will always be a place to have lunch
indoors. Usually at a restaurant. So do not bring your lunch on these rides
unless you want to eat it out in the cold. You are also expected to bring your
own bicycle lock (a light cable lock will do) and your own bicycle frame
pump. Be sure to read the ride notice since the starting time and meeting place
for the winter rides will usually not be at the Loeb Boathouse. Also, there
won't be a Thursday ride if there is snow or ice on the ground, or if the
temperature at 9 AM is below 20 degrees.
 
So for this coming Thursday's ride, November 8, we are going to The
Wharf restaurant in Rockaway Park, Queens. We'll go there via Brooklyn and the
Marine Bridge, ride along the Boardwalk of Jacob Riis Park, and return via the
Cross Bay Bridge and Queensborough Bridge.
 
The ride is approx. 45 mostly flat miles.
 
MEET:
 
9:00 AM at the NE corner of First Avenue and East 60th Street (there's a
Starbucks on the corner that will allow you to use their facilities - I suggest
you use them since the next stop will be far away)
OR MEET at 9:40 AM at the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge, SW corner of Canal
St. & Forsyth St.
NOTE:  I plan to take Second Avenue down to the Manhattan Bridge and there might
be lots of morning traffic. I'm used to it because that's the route I always
take.
 
BRING:
 
   Two spare inner tubes and a patch kit
    A lock for your bicycle
    A bicycle frame pump
    Money for lunch
    Water
    A helmet (wear it)
    A smile
