As usual Mother Nature is throwing us a mixed bag today.    The chance of precipitation is about 30-40% at the start time with a near certainty of T-storms in the 2-4pm windown.   The high temps, high humidity and low wind all bode for fast times.  I'll  send an update later in the day as we know more.Some stunning occurrances in the Tour de France so far.  Really hard to watch the bodies of these great athletes get strewn about like rag dolls.  Truly amazing more riders haven't t ...Continue Reading

From: mailto: Nine crazy riders thought it would be a good idea to do a hilly ride on this hot day. One did 34, the rest around 55 miles (4,000 ft climbing). Breezy day, but it seemed to make the heat more tolerable. A convenience store on Rte 80 near New Woodstock at the 30-mile mark was perfect. The nice lady there filled all our water bottles so we could all finish (sorta) strong. Hard to believe the Tour de France riders did double the miles and quadruple the climbing we did on day one. And they had to contend wi ...Continue Reading

The weather will be warm, but we might get a light, scattered shower. This ride is a perennial favorite, going from Central Square to Oswego and a ride by Ft Ontario. THis is a 55mi option w/shorter choices of 45 and 39mi shortcutting out of Fulton. As I've not recently done these roads, I'm not sure if there is any fresh gravel. I only have several copies of the maps, so please try to use your Garmin or Ride with GPS. Hope to see you there.Mark Wheeler ...Continue Reading

As we organized at the start line at 6:15pm I started to doubt if the OCC Weather Control System was activated. Dark clouds ruled the skies and the temps were a Fall-like 57 degrees.  BUT, as the last rider was sent off the sun broke through and the breeze tailed off just a bit. Take that Wayne!While conditions were not perfect, it was still a solid night to come out and ride.   We had 9 TTers show up to do battle on the fastest TT course East of the Mississippi.  We had two TT course newbys challeng ...Continue Reading

I’ll be “leading” a shorter, slower ride, probably a reverse Bennett’s Corners, which is 15 miles. As usual, it will be no drop. Karen Kelly On Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 8:57 AM Mike Lyon lyon689@PROTECTED [occ2] <occ2@PROTECTED> wrote:__   From: lyon689@PROTECTED Hi everyone____Looks like we will have a cooler ride, temps in mid-60’s.
