Newcomers Ride to Piermont 2014

Newcomers Ride to Piermont

The New York Cycle club hosts some amazing events throughout the year, including our popular SIG series, our wonderful monthly meetings, our daily rides and fun socials... and the NYCC Newcomers Ride.

This is an ALL-member ride. Come and join us in welcoming our new members, whether you are new or not new.

This event is designed especially for you, our newest members. The date is Sunday, July 13 and we will ride roundtrip from centrally-located meeting spots to the Goswick Pavilion, near charming downtown Piermont, NY.

Choose which group to join - we classify rides as A, B, C.

• The A’s are experienced and faster riders and generally ride in a tighter rotating paceline
• B’s cruise at a relaxed pace, approx 15-18 mph on flat terrain, and
• C riders proceed steadily and leisurely at a 12-14 mph pace on flat terrain. There will be “pace” options to match different fitness levels throughout the groups. Choose your group conservatively.

The different groups are leaving from separate locations, please take note of the appropriate start point for your group.
(Are you wondering which group to join? Don't know your speed level? First ride with the club? Take a C-level ride!)

All rides will go over the George Washington Bridge (south bike path) in both directions, and will be lead by experienced NYCC ride leaders. Cue sheets will be provided to all participants at the start of the ride. (Bring a cue sheet holder or small binder clips to attach the cue sheet to your cables.)

Please note: We REQUIRE that you bring the following for the ride:

• A helmet
• One (preferably two) filled water bottles
• An extra tube, to fit your tires/wheels, and whatever tools you need to change and inflate a new tube
  (You don't need to know how to fix a flat, but you do need that spare tube)

ALSO: No headphones, earbuds or aerobars are allowed on NYCC rides.

We will have lunch and a short program at the pavilion. You can participate in the club lunch package at the pavilion for free, provided that you complete registration for a lunch RSVP (no limit to the number of participants, signup anytime before the event). Lunch registration will open on July 4th, 2014. Alternately, you can obtain/bring your own lunch

Welcome Newcomers! We hope you'll join us!
