CNYC's Check Your Legs Road Race is going to be Saturday, April 11th 2009.

Most likely going to be run on an "A" and "B" format. "A" riders doing 3 laps. "B" riders doing 2 laps. If enough Women show up we'll either run a separate field for them....or let them ride with the Category they feel comfortable in.

Not sure what the entry fee will be? Probably pretty cheap...something like $10. Online registration this year via BikeReg.com - follow the link below

NYBC: Working Toward a More Bicycle-Friendly New York

The New York Bicycling Coalition (NYBC) monitors government activities concerning bicycling and pedestrian issues. The Coalition advocates on behalf of the communities to the NY legislature and state agencies for better bicycling and walking conditions. We provide technical assistance to clubs, non-profit organizations, and local governments working to foster a "Complete Streets" concept of transportation development. This is article is one example of the NYBC's response to the many challenging local transportation situations around the State.

Sometimes we get to ride.

Sometimes we have to drive.

Either way - it's not too bad an idea to carry a camera in NYS in October.

This slideshow shows some photos that I took without really stopping the car or the bike.

Don't let the format drive you crazy - you can click on "View all images" at the bottom and choose what you would like to see and also see the photos in a larger format.

Or just let the slides slide by.
