Hi Everyone,

This week’s Slow ‘n Easy West ride will depart from the west end parking lot of Reed Webster Park Tuesday evening at 6:00 PM.  The days are getting shorter so get here on time so that we can get the groups off at 6:00 PM.  This week’s Accu Wether prediction is: “…

Tom Hotaling tells me that he will not be able to lead the challenge ride this week.  The schedule calls for Option #1, 23 mile with 785’ of elevation.  I am looking for a leader for the ride or we will have to cancel it.  If you are willing to lead the group, email me and I will plan on you leading the group.

As I mentioned in previous emails, we offer different routes and speeds because we have found that as riders grow stronger with experience on the slower and easier rides, they like to go a little farther and faster…so we try to offer a variety of rides to fit a broader span of interests and abilities.  Not everyone is a beginner nor is everyone a racer.  Don’t forget that the S’nE rides are “no drop” rides.  No one is left to fend for themselves.  We regroup at regular intervals so we are always watching for you.

We have not been doing the canal loop for the last few weeks because there have not been any takers.  It seems that most all the slower riders prefer the slow road route and that’s what we will do.  I usually end up sweeping that route instead of the leading the canal loop.

We are getting close to the end of our season as we move through August. There are 4 more SnE Tuesdays left, if the first Tuesday in September is good...we’ll see.  So…if you have been putting it off…don’t…or you will miss out.  Come on out this Tuesday and join us for some great fun.  If you are new and wanting to get into the sport or trying to get back into it after being away for a number of years…come see us and you’ll be glad you did!

Here are the details:

  Where:  Reed Webster Park, Camillus, NY located on Warners Rd (Rt 173) (parking lot on west end near tennis courts)

                               When:    Ride(s) leaves at 6:00 PM sharp;  sign-in starts at ~5:30 PM

             Bring:     Your bike (make sure it is road worthy and safe to ride; check tire pressures), an approved helmet, water bottle and a strong desire to  ride.  Remember, helmets are not optional!  Be sure to bring extra water since it will be pretty warm

                               Dress:    Whatever you are comfortable wearing on a bike… the weather will help dictate this.

For those of you who join us, we are always grateful to those who want to showcase their baking skills by bringing some treats.  All treats are greatfully accepted and eaten by the riders.  Post ride time is also a good time to get to me or Mike if you have any thoughts or suggestions. 

See you Tuesday!

Ciao,

Tony
