Looked like no one wanted to do the 5 ^^ rated ride the one of the original OOC members put together (Jimmy R.) Despite the 4200ft vertical, the ride was lovely, especially Lyon Rd, Gully Rd, Kingston, Foster, and Rolling Hills. One mechanical half way up ...Continue Reading

Well once again there is threat of rain but different this time.  It isn’t the popup kind.  Keep an eye out for an email tomorrow afternoon as to whether or not the ride is a go.  If thunder/lighting then it will be cancelled. If we ride my group will be doing 22 miles: Pottery Road and Mike’s/Toms will be doing option 2. ...Continue Reading

6 riders logged 162 miles.   We all opted to take Creek Road.  Great area if you've never taken it.   Climbed right to the windmills in Fenner; always spectacular to get close to them and hear the turbines and woosh of the wind.  Cooler up there with a nice breeze.   The downhill from Caz to Chitt is just the best. Great ride.  Hot, but a decent night.  No precipitation.  No flats or incidents beyond a thrown chain or two. Bob Ravera ...Continue Reading

Well, hopefully we have had our rain for the day and the evening will be clear. Either way, it will be a hot evening.  If you would like to ride in the shade and have some really beautiful scenery and  interesting geology, take a right on Creek Road off of Route 5.  This will "Y" into Osborne and leader to Cottons Road where it will continue with the designated ride.  It is all on the OCC Map which I will have at the ride. Thanks. Bob Ravera ...Continue Reading

When I left for the park it was raining pretty hard at my house.  But by the time I got to the park the roads were dry and it appeared that it hadn’t rained there at all.  Only one person at the park, but as the departure time got closer more riders showed up.  We had a total of 11 riders that did 244 miles, most doing 24 miles.  While it didn’t rain at all and the sun shone, we were raining sweat!  The humidity registered at 75%.   Over all not a bad ride. See you next week??? ...Continue Reading
