Hi to all our Riders and potential Riders, Do you think what they are forecasting for the early part of this week is a little on the warm side?  If you do but don’t mind the heat, try our ride(s) this Tuesday starting at 6:00 PM from Reed Webster Park on Warner’s Rd (Rt 173).  Accuweather is forecasting that Tuesday’s weather will be “/Mostly sunny; hot, very humid/” with a high of 91.  Looks like the whole week will be warm but Tuesday will be the warmest.  If the heat and humidity doesn’t both ...Continue Reading

Today was a perfect day for riding, especially around the Finger Lakes.  Seven of us started out and ended at Knapp Winery for the annual Ride & Wine Ride.  We ran into some bridge closings (3 to be exact) and some dirt roads (one was flat, one was on a hill).  One bridge crossing we easily got across and the worker was friendly.  The second, we kindly inquired if we could cross and he asked ‘Didn’t you see the sign?’.  Not wanting to give bikers a bad name, we turned around and took the det ...Continue Reading

 Despite my pronouncements of favorable breeze direction, only three showed up to battle the TT course.  Ken Toscano captured the FMT by ripping through the course on his road bike in a 2018 PR time of 26:36 (22.56 mph).   Dick Rybinski  claimed his 3rd consecutive PR by reducing his time by 1:03 !    Ron Nelson went strict "Merckx" to establish a new benchmark for himself in that category.  The results: *Rank* *First Name* *Last Name* *Category* *Total ...Continue Reading

Tomorrow’s ride will start at Knapp Winery in Romulus.  It’s about an hour drive from Syracuse.  We will try to arrive at 9:30 and park in the back (near the barn).  I haven’t been able to reach them; somehow their phone is not working, but hopefully this won’t be a problem.   The day looks great!  What better way to spend it than on the bike in the Finger Lakes gazing at Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, passing wineries and climbing some hills!  Plan on lunch after to finish off the day.  ...Continue Reading

Good Morning Everyone,We had a limited number show last night for the SnEW ride.  I think the weather played a big part in having only 25 members  and no guests come out for a total of 25 riders.  We had our usual mix of rides with Tom Hotaling leading his group on a 25 course.  Mike Lyon led his group of intermediate riders on a 20 loop while Mark Perrin of the Bikery with the help of Dean Connery, Roland Pearson, and Al Storrings  offered folks an easy paced choice of 10, 13 and 15 miles.  ...Continue Reading

Hi everyone, I’ve ben outdoors for the last hour or so chain sawing and while there has been a few sprinkles, no real rain here.  The weather radar shows rain clouds to the west and east and a whole lot of little rain pockets to the south.  The hourly forecast was showing rain in the 4:00, 5:00 and 7:00 PM hours…but that could be spotty depending on where you are.  Keeping that in mind we will plan to ride but if it is raining at 6:00 we’ll call it off. See you at the park, Tony  Virus-f ...Continue Reading

Yes, there is a breeze today...  possibly a strong breeze - 14 mph.   The good news is that it may be coming from the most favorable direction. I have always stated that the rarely seen SE breeze makes for the best times on this course.  The prediction today is that the direction will be from the S-SE direction.    For all I know, this may be the ideal direction. SO!  Come on out and ride the wind to that PR you've been seeking!BrianTT Directeur315-727-1458 ...Continue Reading
