    Need work on your bike handling skills? Join Bob Nelson and Tim Guscott on Tuesday mornings at 7 a.m. just north of the Maine National Monument in Columbus Circle. This is not a bike race! We will work on climbing, cornering, weight shifting, positioning, sprinting and avoiding pressure on that all-important perineum, of interest to both women and men. Tim is an expert on riding nutrition and supplements, so this is a chance to pick his brain; Bob is a physical therapist and can give you workout ideas to avoid repetitive motion injuries. We try to get in three loops in the hour, but folks are welcome to ride as much or as little as they wish. Holler at Bob at fastnfab (at) yahoo (dot) com or 212-567-7160. at 07:00

    John died two years ago on what we used to call the New Hope Ride, struck by a weaving motorist who may have been texting or drunk, but who has never been apprehended. Our ride this year is equal parts long-distance training, sharing memories of John and having a blast out in the sticks. As usual, we’ll meet at 7:30 a.m. Saturday near the World Trade Center PATH station. Riders will drop bags in a rented pickup, take the PATH to Newark’s Penn Station and then, with cue sheets and the pickup as our support, begin the 90 mi. to the Weisel Hostel in Nockamixon State Park, Quakertown, Pa., about 30 mi. northwest of New Hope. En route, we’ll have stops for food and fuel, including New Hope, and yes, the pickup will pick up tired riders. Sunday there’s a brief ride in nearby Doylestown to remember John Chapman. Monday we’ll cycle back to Newark via a different route, avoiding Memorial Day parades where possible. NJ Transit will not take bikes on a holiday Monday, so taking the train is not an option for the ride back, though of course the pickup is such an option. To hold your place in the ride, write a check for 0 to Bob Nelson at 165 Seaman Ave., Apt. 3H, New York, NY 10034-1989. The 0, which is non-refundable after May 15, covers for two nights at the hostel, van rental and SAG supplies. We do need a person to help with driving the van, and will switch off among the riders if we don’t find such a person. Bob Nelson: fastnfab (at) yahoo (dot) com or 212-567-7160. at 07:30

    Time: 11:00
    
    Two ghost bikes, both installed by Doylestown Borough Public Works, commemorate John Chapman, one at Hamilton and West State in downtown Doylestown, Pa., and the other on nearby Durham Road, the site where he was killed by an errant motorist in 2011. Riders including Central Bucks Bicycle Club (cbbikeclub.org) and Fast and Fabulous (fastnfab.org) meet in the parking lot of Central Bucks West High School at West State and Lafayette at 11 a.m. Our ride will be a reasonably flat, seven-mile procession, from one ghost bike to the other, conducted at a pace that allows cyclists of any ability to participate. Fast and Fab riders will be staying at the Weisel Hostel in nearby Nockamixon State Park and may either take the group’s pick-up truck or choose to ride the 12 mi. to Doylestown. Our principal goal is to remember a teacher, writer, father, runner and cyclist. Bob Nelson: fastnfab (at) yahoo (dot) com or 212-567-7160. at 11:00
