It's been a while since I've sent an update, and as I was composing this I realized that there is a lot going on! Fly6 Giveaway: We've given away two of the Fly6 camera/tail lights provided by the Rabin Law Firm with the last one being given away at the end of August.  As a reminder, if you're an OCC member and you've ridden with the club at least once during August, e-mail me and you'll be entered in the final drawing for this very cool device. September ride leaders needed: Checking the OCC Ride calendar, we currently have six rides in September with no ride leaders.  She everyone your organizational and cycling prowess by signing up as a ride leader!  Full information on ride leader responsibilities can be found at the link below: http://onondagacyclingclub.org/rides-and-tt/ride_leaders/   Fall Century/Charity Ride: Here's another fall favorite to put on your calendar - our annual Fall Century/Charity Ride!  Besides a great route from Carpenters Brook Fish Hatchery that follows a scenic route through Central NY up through Oswego and back, we also have fully stocked rest stops and a post ride picnic and BBQ when you're done.  It's always been a really fun day! Information: http://onondagacyclingclub.org/2015/08/16/occ-annual-fall-centurycharity-ride/ Registration: https://www.bikereg.com/occ-samaritan-center Elections: It's hard to believe but elections for the Onondaga Cycling Club board of directors are in October, and in contrast to popular belief the club doesn't run itself.  The obligations are only a few hours a month, so step up to the plate and throw your hat in to the ring.  Contact either myself, Mike Lyon or Colleen Farrell if you'd like to be placed on the ballot or have any questions: Colleen: cf_jb@PROTECTED Mike: lyon689@PROTECTED 2016 Syracuse Race Weekend: Even harder to believe is that the first organizing meeting for the 2016 Syracuse Race Weekend is on Sunday September 13th (Has it been a year already!?).  This is a huge event and its success relies heavily on the volunteers who make it happen.  We have a great core of event directors, but we're always looking for anyone interested in becoming more involved.  Just e-mail me for details on when and where we're meeting.  Cyclocross weekend: Oct 24, 25. Another great event we have coming up is Cyclocross weekend where the OCC and MaxPower race team combine forces to put together a fantastic weekend of racing.  Details to follow, but if you're not racing then come out to Longbranch park in Friday October 23rd to help us set-up.  If you can't race or obligations prevent you from spending a Friday afternoon pounding stakes into the ground, then grab your cow bell and cheer on (heckle?) the racers.  It's a huge amount of fun! WTF Class Leaders: You may have started to noticed that chill in the air in the evenings, which means that indoor training at the CNYTriathlon Winter Training Facility isn't far off.  Right now Instructors for Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday evening and Saturday mornings have been lined up, but Friday evenings and Sunday morning is still open.  If you're interested in leading a class, please contact Ken Geary: president@PROTECTED   Fall Spectacular: Earlier this year the Onondaga Cycling Club and CNYTriathlon put together the Spring Fling to kick off the cycling season, and it was such a success that we're currently planning the Fall Spectacular on Sunday, October 18th.  Details to follow, but expect to see a bigger better bike swap, Time Trial Wars, vendors and technical talks. As always, please let me know if you have any comments or questions: Todd Relyea OCC President brewer13210@PROTECTED 315-263-3712.
