Hi Matt! Welcome!

Be sure to try lots of bikes before buying! You never know what’s going to be the “perfect” bike for you. I prefer older bikes as they’re WAY less expensive and fun to work on myself (and unless I lose about 50 lbs, the bike isn’t going to be the deciding factor on my performance).

There are plenty of charity rides around CNY, and OCC usually has a team to ride with. June 12 is the Tour de Cure CNY, that has distances ranging from about 10 miles to the 62- and 100-mile routes that go around Oneida Lake. Lots of fun. Go to tour.diabetes.org to search for it. I believe June 25 is the Ride for the Rescue, that benefits the local Rescue Mission. It starts at Long Branch Park in Liverpool and has lots of distances as well, up to the 62-mile I think (goes to Skaneateles Lake and back). There are others that get advertized on this listserv and on Facebook, too. Races are out there, but I never hear about them in time… There was the Cazenovia Hillbender, which used to be in the fall but was moved to April this year. Challenging riding around Chittenango Falls. The was the DuTheLakes Duathlon last month at Green Lakes. There are several triathlons around here all summer. Pure bike races seem to be fewer in the middle of the summer.

Please anyone else chime in with ideas. Also, if anyone has experience setting up and directing a road race, please contact the people from the Owasco Flyer in Auburn! That race was great! But they stopped doing it 2 years ago because they didn’t have a director. https://www.facebook.com/The-Owasco-Flyer-cancelled-for-2015-128949090507737/

Hey all,
 
I registered for the club this week as I just started riding a few weeks ago (as a cross training option for running – and I found I like riding better J ). I am shopping for a road bike now – I really liked the Specialized Diverge I rode yesterday (not a true road bike but close) and will go out to B’ville today to ride a Cannondale (CAAD8 or Syanpse). I also plan to ride the Specialized Allez as well…
 
When I started running, I signed up for a couple of 5K races and started training for them. It was easy to find 5K races to run in this area. Are their races in this area for riders? Where would I look for them? I’m not looking at being competitive any time soon, but for me, it works to set a goal to run a  race, plop down the entry fee and then train towards the race.
 
I look forward to meeting many of you in a couple of weeks at the June  14th slow and easy ride (first Tuesday I am available)..
 
Matt
