SIG stands for “Special Interest Group.” Each spring the NYCC offers SIGs at A, B and C levels. Each is a series of progressive training rides with coaching and instruction in order to teach riders to ride in groups well. The rides get longer and more arduous as the series progresses and offer cyclists an ideal way to jump start their season. Best of all the SIGs are free! Well, you have to be a club member, but that’s a small price to pay for the wealth of knowledge and experience that the volunteer leaders impart. Participants are expected to attend all sessions. The story of the SIGs started with Christy Guzzeta 22 years ago. The A-SIG he created blossomed over the years and inspired a similar B-SIG, C-SIG and eventually a second A-SIG, the A-19 SIG (featuring shorter distances and a more moderate pace than the A-SIG Classic).
