While the rain fall was needed, it does make it hard to plan our outdoor rides.   It is not looking good for the Time Trial tonight.  The chance of precipitation is 30-60% all day.   The temperature will be around 70 degrees and very humid.  As a result, the roads will take longer to dry out.  I'll make the final call around 1-2 pm.    BrianTT Directeur315-727-1458 ...Continue Reading

Karen’s SnE ride will be 15 miles, out to Memphis via Thompson, Newport, and Canal - and back via Warners. There may be an OCC map, but I can rarely find anything using the search function. Here’s a screenshot of a ride I recorded in June. On Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 11:15 AM Kelly Wheeler kelly42158@PROTECTED [occ2] <occ2@PROTECTED> wrote: From: mailto:kelly42158@PROTECTED Barring rain, the rides planned: Tom’s ride will be option2.

Well, Mother Nature decided to add torrential rains to the mix for the challenging "Alps" ride.  There were no takers - myself included.  The only positive note is the fact that the rain hit convincingly at 8:40am to squash any hope of pulling off the ride.   Getting dumped on in the middle of the Moonhill climb would have be so much worse.La Vuelta Espana has begun!    So far 3 flat stages are completed, today is the transfer from the Netherlands to Spain.  The mountain stag ...Continue Reading

I am the ride leader for the "Alps" ride tomorrow. As the name indicates, there is a fair amount of climbing on all route options (65-75ft per mile)  with a sustained 13% grade on Moonhill.   On the web site, the Ride w GPS link on the calendar shows the 50 mile route and cue sheet for it.  The map link also shows a 35ish mile option as well as a longer 70 mile option.    The cue sheet tries to describe the 70 mile route.  It's got some weird road labels in it.  I'd ...Continue Reading

12 members showed up for the flat and variably paced (depending on who was out in front) ride from Fayetteville to points east. 11 rode 49 miles and pretty much stayed together. The group averaged about 16 mph which was slow for some abilities but just right for others. A solo rider who arrived after we had left the parking lot did the metric century. Great weather and no mishaps. ...Continue Reading
