  1. Hey New York City-dwellers...

    As some of you already know, we're in the midst of planning and
    building the first legal mountain bike trails in Manhattan and Queens.
    In order to work hand-in-hand with NYC Parks on this project, several
    of us have gotten together to form a mountain bike-specific association
    for New York City- NYCMTB.

    NYCMTB will be holding its first official organizational meeting on
    January 19th, from 6-8 PM at the Neighborhood Preservation Center in
    the East Village (232 E 11th Street #1 New York, NY 10003 (Btwn 2nd and
    3rd Avenue, closest to 2nd Avenue, up one flight of stairs to the front
    door)).

    We'll be doing the nuts-and-bolts stuff for the first hour (the legal
    stuff necessary to start the NYCMTB association), then spend the second
    hour discussing design and planning of the Highbridge (Manhattan)
    trails. If you're not interested in being a part of the founding of the
    club, just show up at 7 for the Highbridge-specific stuff. Come with
    your ideas and energy- we've got big plans, and need all the help we
    can get...

    Date: Thursday, January 19
    Time: 6-8 PM
    Place: Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 E 11th Street #1 New York,
    NY 10003 (Btwn 2nd and 3rd Avenue, closest to 2nd Avenue, up one flight
    of stairs to the front door)

    This will actually be my first exposure to this program. I copied and
    pasted the whole thing from somewhere else. I'll probably be by for
    half an hour or so. I'm going to a party down in Red Hook to support
    children learning to build boats in their elementary school. Why?
    Because there will be booze. (No offense to Mr. Baker.)
    I can't imagine what they have planned. NYC MTB'ing is pretty much an
    oxymoron, and rider styles range from hybrid-riding women of a certain
    age with their helmets on backwards to two-wheeled tank riding
    stormtroopers. With the limited space we'll have, its hard to imagine
    what they'll come up with. And I'm talking about terrain, not insurance
    issues and all of that fun stuff.
    With all that said, it'll be fun just to have a place to knock around
    on occasionally. Better than nothing, which is what we have now.
