Best ride of the year so far. This was the 9W ride May 7th. It was one crazy ride acrobatics, flats, up hills, down hills, and cant forget about the break at strictly cycles and the mexican food that we went there for haha. Overall distance 65-70 miles round trip. Next 9W will be in 2 weeks hoping to get better time on this one.
Group Ride: Coney Island
Woodside > East 14th Street > Coney Island Beach > Woodside
Group Ride: Long Beach
It was the first 30+ mile ride of the year! Even though almost everyone backed out, me, Mike, and the rest of NNR mashed to Long Beach anyway. It was like always, but the roads were definitely not. Here are some pictures from the ride:
McCarren Park > Metropolitan Avenue > Woodhaven Boulevard > Rockaway Beach > Atlantic Avenue Bridge > Long Beach (See Map)
Check out the trailer for the new Travel Channel show Triple Rush featuring bike messengers as they weave in and out of traffic in New York City. Airing Thursday nights at 10 PM E/P only on the Travel Channel.
Triple Rush gives you an insider’s look at the chaotic workings of 3 different NYC courier companies as they battle for survival in this intensely competitive industry. We’ll witness the bike messengers’ hair-raising dashes through busy Manhattan streets — speeding between cars, racing through red lights and doing battle with taxicabs — all to earn a few dollars and support their lives in the fast lane. We’ll also meet the dispatchers, who balance the needs of messengers who want non-stop, lucrative runs, customers who want excellent service and owners who want kick-ass couriers who don’t make mistakes.
…And we’re back!
Phew. That was one long hiatus. Time to start anew.
