I am am member of NYSC and have done their ride before. This year me and my Catrike got a front line pass. I called the 5 BBC people and told them about my bike and then asked if the MARS frontline policy was still in place. It wasn't but they worked out a way to get me up front anyway.Riding in the back is ok but I agree tthat there are too many people. If you're low to the ground it just feels more dangerous.See everyone there.-Adam Payne Catrike "Road" 2004

> The bummer is that they're not having the pre-ride for marshals this year-- city budget problems are the apparent culprit. As you probably know,we'd ride the whole 42+ miles the Sunday before, and this took placeevery year that I was a marshal. In fact, some people would ride thepre-ride and not bother to show up the subsequent Sunday. The pre-rideswere almost the best part of doing the ride.
>
> I'm rather glad that I had suffered the heart attack when I did, lastApril 16. If my coronary event had waited to occur and if I HAD gone onthe pre-ride on April 26, which was an unseasonably warm (hot?) Sunday,then I fear what might have happened chugging up that first Central Parkhill or the 59th St Bridge or the VZ.
>
> I'm fine now, but with the crappy weather we've been having, I haven'tbeen out all that much and find it a bit difficult getting my biker'slegs back this year. In fact, I bonked leaving Long Beach going north,facing a very stiff head wind the first ride of the season.
