Believe it or not, the outdoor season is starting soon. The first ride will be Saturday, March 20th - "Warners Unrambled". The 2021 ride schedule has been posted. Visit https://onondagacyclingclub.org/ride_calendar/ to check it out. And while you are there sign up to lead a few rides. If you are unsure who to lead a ride, the instructions are posted here - https://onondagacyclingclub.org/rides-and-tt/ride_leaders/.

Remember you must be a paid 2021 member to ride the club rides. You can pay your dues online here: https://onondagacyclingclub.org/product-category/membership/ or print the paper form here: https://onondagacyclingclub.org/forms/occ-application.pdf

Also, the COVID rules still apply. You must wear a mask when it is not possible to social distance. This will most likely occur at the beginning and end of the ride. A mask must be available for you should you need mechanical assistance on the ride, since it will be impossible to help with bike repair and maintain social distancing. Please maintain a safe distance between riders (several bike lengths), no pacelines will be allowed.

Let's hope for nice weather in the last half of March and enjoy a great season of miles and smiles with friends.

Doug Bray - OCC President
