Brian, Re the down hill on Otisco Road to the T at Otisco Valley:   Were you saying to turn right on Oak Hill traveling NW, then turn left on Otisco Valley Road and ride south along the Otisco Lake and eventually intersect the original route?   That sounds good to me if that is what you meant.  I don't like steeps with stops at the bottom. Re Moonhill, I would like to do it, but if most are not up for it, that is fine too.  I would rather have a good turnout!   Moon Hill ...Continue Reading

Once again Brian’s weather system came to the rescue.  Seven riders came to what turned out to be blue sky and mainly dry roads.  I think this shows that Brian’s weather system actually works.  He is very secretive as to where he got it.Five road Mike S’s option while 2 did a shorter ride.  Total of 135 miles ridden with no issues at all.  ...Continue Reading

I have a confession to make....  I had lost faith in the OCC Weather Control System (patent pending).  While we are able to steer the red cells away from TT course, it appeared that light rain would ruin the evening.   At 4:10 I sat down at my PC resigned to cancelling the Time Trial -  I had typed CANCELLED in the subject of the email and I had typed in the whole rationale.  I gave the proprietary weather system another look and decided there was still hope to salvage the night.Well,  ...Continue Reading

Well, it appears the yellow edges of a red cell may pass close to the  start line at 5:30pm    The rest of the course appears to have only received light rain/showers.  Bravo WCS !     The rain cells in general are moving NorthEast, so no precipiation will be on the course after 6pm.      Should be clear until 9pm.    I think that should be enough time to complete the TT !!I have delayed the start of the TT until 6:40 ish to let the roads dry out.  If you ...Continue Reading

I'll head up to theTT course tonight.   It appears the showers and light rain may creep onto the TT course 5:45 - 7:00pm .   If our WCS fails to repel the rain, then we won't have the TT.    But, it is possible that this precipitation will not hit the TT course.   I would not recommend cycling to the start as there are rogue cells floating around. Let's keep our fingers crossed.  BrianTT Directeur315-727-1458 On Tuesday, July 13, 2021, 11:36:13 AM EDT, Brian Goe ...Continue Reading

I think its time for Mother Nature to turn off the rain facet for the rest of the month.  We have already received our normal complement of precipitation for the month of July.   The trend of uncertainty for the probabliliy of rain for Tuesday evenings continues.  The forecast has improved slightly in the TT course area.   Current projection at start time:Temp  81 degreesHumidity  HIGHWind   9mph SouthSouth wind will be felt as cross wind for the first 3 miles, slight ta ...Continue Reading

Hi everyoneLooks like we will be watching the weather yet again, hot and chance of rain.  Karen Kelly wont be there tomorrow.  So if there are those that want a shorter slower 15 mile ride I will be leading it.  If necessary, hope someone steps up to lead my ride, which will be the Walters-East Sorrell Hill-Newport option, 896 ft of climbing. Tom’s group will be lead by Mike Schisvone and will be doing option 2.The PDF and GPS for both rides can be found here: https://onondagacyclingclub.org/rides-an ...Continue Reading
