I’m the ride leader for Wednesday’s “Spook Woods” ride out of Carpenter’s Brook Hatchery on Route 321 just west of Camillus.  The ride leaves at 6pm.  Because sunset is getting earlier *and the hatchery is only open until 8:00 pm*, come prepared to do the 28 mile option or shorter (the map lists a 39 mile option but that dog don’t hunt).  I’ll have a few maps with me.    See you there.   Tom Fucillo   *Thomas J.

Perhaps it was my slightly less than optimistic forecast the day before,   or perhaps people showed up at 10 pm when the wind shifted to the SE....  or ,  everyone is exhausted from watching their DVRed stages of the Tour......Well, you know what I'm leading to...   we had only two riders come out to challenge themselves Tuesday night and one of them was a guest -  a student from Cornell.    The OCC member with fastest time was Brian Hidy,  His time of 30:23  missed ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone,It’s Sunday again and we are looking forward to this Tuesday’s *Slow ‘n Easy West* ride once again.  It has been pretty warm and humid over the last few day and Tuesday won’t change much.  Accuwether is forecasting “…/Mostly cloudy, a couple of showers and a thunderstorm; humid”/ ;the high will be 88 degrees.  They did not say when the showers are expected…hopefully in the morning hours so that things will dry up for the evening ride.  Watch for my late afternoon email. We will meet ...Continue Reading

Had 29 riders today completing 1322 miles with no reports of incidents.  Many stayed to enjoy the barbeque and swim.  All though there were a couple of comments about having to walk the plank to get to the pool.  This was the 21st year of this event.  Need to thank my wife Nancy who does a great job cooking and organizing and also for those that brought a dish to pass. All cleaned up now and we found a towel and bathing suit.  If it is yours just give us a call 315-399-7251  ...Continue Reading

3 riders showed up and 2 actually rode the 35 mile DeRuyter loop in a light drizzle this morning.  The ride leader was not among them given that her husband had spent a considerable about of time cleaning her bike after riding on wet roads Wednesday night.  It seemed like the right thing to do. ...Continue Reading

I updated the Ride With GPS (RWG) routes on the ride’s page to be the routes with the detour AND the short cuts suggested by Mike. So you can get the routes from the ride’s page and do about the same distance you planed. No thinking, just follow your GPS units. NOTE: the map and cues have not been updated.

The ride starts at 9:00 from our house.  Since it is easy to miss our driveway, look for a traffic cone at the end of the driveway and park on the grass.  If full, you can park across the street near the barn, not the driveway near the house. Our address1356 Daboll RoadMemphis, NY 13112Mike: Phone 315-399-7251 or Nancy: 315-399-7252 *There are changes for the 34, 45, 54 mile rides……make sure you read it _ALL_:* Bonta Bridge Road is closed at Rt 31.  *_SO FOLLOW_* the detour signs.  The ...Continue Reading
