wow. my bike was held up on a ship from overseas that probably used more fuel to get here than I wouldve used driving my jeep. how eco-friendly. I have to face it. I just want to commute to get more ride time than saving the planet and a few pesos.

I've been cycling long enough to know I should really ride to work. I don't have any real excuses. I live close to the office (under 6 miles), I can ride on surface streets to get from point A to B, I own a bunch of bikes that are suitable for communiting (my cross bike is my current favorite), we have showers at the office and I hate spending $3.75 gallon for gasoline.
 My only excuse (or the one I've been using lately) is that I didn't have a bag gthat could hold all of my stuff. My laptop is one of those widesreen jobs and once I put all of my clothes, shoes, etc in there things don't really work. Well, my wife took away my last excuse last night be presenting me with this for my birthday.&l ...

so i have finally found some sick mtb trails in SI, ny!! there pretty sweet too! I dropped in at the trail head at La Tourette Golf Course. I borrowed there parking lot for a bit. These trails are sick, single track, up and downs, a few wood bridges, and even some mud, and small stream crossings. There is even one part thats an amazing down hill. Then you head north and there is a cool climb that brings you to the top of a small mt. that allows you to see Great Kills Harbor and NJ. pretty amazing for SI! At this point i popped my tire and had to carry my bike out like a wounded solider, but even then i still saw more trails to ride across the street. This small island really does have its hidden gems. If you too now of any more trails in the tri-state area feel free to post. "tread epically"

Our next big technical hurdle is to add some ride planning functionality to bikeclicks. It'll be hung off of the members and bikecliques features we just launched. Essentially you'll be able to create a "ride" and then either make it open invitation (anyone can join), invite only (meaning you send out some evites to specific members you want on your ride) or only for a specific bikeclique.
Members can find rides either from bikecliques they belong to or hang out in, or from a new "Rides" page we're planning. The new Rides page will list upcoming rides and show a ride calendar. Members can also search for rides and maintain a list of rides they've signed up for on a personal calendar.
The ride function will also allow people to post rides that have a fee associated with the event, so things like a tour or century or even a race can collect fees from members who sign up for t ...

I know every community in the world has one of these rides. You know the ride..the one where all of the top local racers gather and have a nice leisurely ride [err race] over a well known course. Well this year is my first time riding the local weekly "Worlds" and all I have to say is WOW is it a fun time, Fast, furious, lots of ridiculous surges and breaks and chases.
My current goal is to ride and stay with the main pack from start to finish on this ride. Last night I didn't accomplish this as I found myself in a chase off the front on River Road and burned up my matches early. While we did eventually catch the break but I snuck to the back for a few miles then dropped off to recover and picked the group back up as it turned around on Witherspoon to head back up the other way. I ended up in another chase on the return leg (stupid, stupid, stupid) and burned up agai ...
