May - June 2005

Is it really Spring yet? It’s hard to tell because of these continuing cold snaps and they’re still predicting snow every few days. I keep telling myself it really is spring because I see more and more people on their bicycles each day (‘cept for when it snows!).

The Century Training Rides have taken off like a rocket and the many new faces who turn up are an encouraging sign for both the club and for the Montauk Century. Of course by the time you read this Bike New York will be imminent and Montauk will be drafting us into the home stretch.

With the completion of the two training ride series in early May you’ll see more fun and varied rides appearing on the calendar. Look for some new rides to new destinations as well as variations on older ones and some old chestnuts. Looking ahead to the summer the perimeter rides and Beach Bum <tm> rides are returning, the first tastes of which are included at the very end of this issue’s listings. Beach rides to Neponsit will commence on Sunday, July 3rd.
