I went on the dirt trail ride up the mountain with Mark and Eric from Riv and just a few others. If you are familiar with the trails, it was Wall Point up and Dan Cook down. I had never been on Dan Cook and the last, singletrack part was sweeeet! I found a couple of size medium clothing pieces: an uno pocket-tee I wore on the ride, MUSA knickers, and a sleeveless cardigan which I will be able to pull off wearing (style-wise) very soon I am sure.
Manny Acosta has some photos under a separate subject and you can see everyone waiting for the first traffic signal to change. Point is, Bike Snob NYC calls it "the indignity of commuting by bicycle" - all that steel and we couldn't get the signal to detect us and change!
