Friday’s ride is to Rudy’s on Lake Ontario.  This is usually a popular ride with a couple different mileage options – 42 and 58.  Getting to Rudy’s is on the longer route. The forecast is questionable on rain, but it will be hot. Let’s hope the storms hold off until the evening.  ...Continue Reading

Rode down Stanley and there is new loose stone on the downhill going west I walked down the last part since I didn’t know the thickness of the stone at the bottom before right turn. It is thicker at the bottom since car tires haven’t matted it down there.   Suggest doing a left on Chard and then a right on East Lake     *From:* Chin, Edwin K.

It was another decent Tuesday night for the Time Trial... almost a clone of last week... with maybe a 1-2mph stronger NW breeze.  We again had eight riders toe their wheel to the line including one newby.  Welcome Paul!    Alex Johnson regained his FMT status and ripped through the course in 24:50 (24.16mph).  He wore his running shorts over his biking shorts so he could quickly transition to run a brick after the TT.  I'm guessing that cost him about 20 seconds.   Junio ...Continue Reading

To all who often do the Thursday evening ride:  If you are not in the habit of checking the ride calendar please note that the July 4th S & E ride has been cancelled.  There is a ride Thursday morning (you can do some or all of a century) for those who feel the need for a group ride that day.  I have signed up to lead the 7/11 ride but the next 2 weeks need ride leaders. If you haven't lead a ride this year and have been regulars on Thursdays I encourage you to step up and sign up through the OCC ...Continue Reading

I am the ride leader for the Gulf Rd/Brinkerhoff   Will have a few paper maps   This is a hilly one with Gulf being the wish I had another gear. However you can skip this by continuing on route 5 into Chittenango from Rt 290    Another alternate is to take a right off Rt290 and then left onto Townsend     Townsend is toughest in the beginning and had two resting sections.   Caution:  going downhill (steep) on Stanley will stop suddenly at a T onto Rathbun     &n ...Continue Reading
