Been meaning to send this information for a week...Apulia Rd is now fully open in Jamesville village.East Lake Rd in Cazenovia is adequately surfaced now. As of last week, the lines were still not installed, but the road is wide enough that it is not a particular problem.New Boston Rd is still unlined, but is very smooth from just east of the railroad tracks until the Indian Opening Rd. And they paved what will be the shoulder, once the lines are drawn! ...Continue Reading

OK. So here's a subject that only a cyclist would consider in an online forum. I have been using Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream. I used to use the regular Udderly Smooth unscented cream, but moved up when I discovered they actually made a product that they claim would work better for this purpose. It does, but it's not great. So I'm looking for alternatives to consider.If you have a favorite chamois cream, please share it with us, as well as where you purchase it.Thanks. Now I'm going for a ride and hope not to chafe.Stev ...Continue Reading

I finally signed up for the Friday ride.  I was waiting to see what the weather would be, but they are saying it will be nice and on the cooler side.  Let’s hope. There’s a couple distances, 44 and 67; looks like a 50 mile ride can be done, too.  Anyone wanting to do the long ride, please do.  I’ll be waiting for you at Bob’s Barbeque.  We’ll try to find a way around Cortland without going through the middle of it. Hope we see you there… we leave at 10:00!  Bring your mask. & ...Continue Reading

Mother Nature obliged our TTers tonight with warm, humid and a NW breeze the receded to light intermittent puffs.  Great conditions for a TT..  Especially for September!We had a season high of 14 TTers show up to do battle with course.   Perhaps it was the combination of the good weather and some inspiration from the Tour de France.   Tiago Barreira was disappointed he had miss-judged the weather for last Tuesday's TT and vowed to make it this week.  He carved up the course in his usua ...Continue Reading
