2015 NYC JDRF Ride To Cure Diabetes Training Schedule, etc Week #3

[Bob Cohen]

Crankees - Cary (cc'd) & I enjoyed a few leisurely loops in Central Park on Sunday with Dan and Albert (welcome to the Crankees Albert).  The weather couldn't have been finer.  Thank you to Lindsay for snapping the first photo of the 2015 season (and posting it so quickly on FB).

REMINDER

Team Happy Hour & Tire Changing Demo

Wednesday, April 22, 2015

5:30 p.m.

Van Diemens - 383 3rd Avenue (between 27th & 28th)

Your coaches will put on a tire changing demonstration for pleasure of all attendees.

Please RSVP to Karena, cc'd on this EMail.

Our next ride is coming up Saturday April 18.  We're meeting up in Manhattan at Riverside Ride and 122nd street (east side of the street (uptown side)) at for a 9:00 a.m. departure.  Our route will take us up Riverside Drive and across the George Washington Bridge (GWB) for an easy paced ride up River Road to Alpine and back to NYC (we'll decide, based on road & weather conditions at that time whether we'll take 9w or River Road back to the GWB).  For anyone wanting to meet up on the Jersey side of the GWB, figure we'll get there at 9:25 a.m.

Please let me (Bob) know if you want to connect for the ride up to 122nd Street.  I live downtown and am happy to lead riders uptown.

Please note all last minute preparations, pre-ride discussions, etc. will occur in the 5-10 minutes leading up to our 9:00 a.m. departure time.  Both Cary & I will be riding so varied riding pace is possible.

Please RSVP so we know who to expect.
