I will have 10 copies of the ride map available   This is one of my favorite rides. Not a lot of turns, some hills….   Some of the road is a little rough.  Don’t forget to turn onto Nine Rd from Ballina downhill.  Many just keep on going   Going up Damon is quite hilly from the direction we are coming from.  And be careful of the last hill into Erieville where this a quick stop before traffic.   And the weather looks fine.  Sunset is 8:29.         Thi ...Continue Reading

16 members showed today, riding distances from 29-42mi. This ride, developed by Bob Spear followed the length of Nine Mile creek from it's source @ Otisco Lake to Onondaga Lake. We had a littel sun, a brisk South wind and mostly typical OCC roads. However, the final 3-4mi ran past the State Fair, Crucible Steel, and Solvay/Tipp Hill. This ending was sufficient for some to rate the ride "F". How spoiled we are😋 ...Continue Reading

As the weatherman says - ‘what a difference a day makes!’  Yesterday was sleeveless jerseys and short shorts; today we brought out the arm warmers, jackets, and even in some cases, gloves. Even though it was a cool and breezy day, we had 9 riders complete 36 – 49 miles.  As noted, no birds, lots of wind and a bit chilly at Derby Hill which meant that we did not stay long.  We were anxious to get back on the road for that tail wind, but those of us that did the longer mileage had to wait a bit longer ...Continue Reading

A look at the Channel 9 forecast and my RadarNow app suggest the it is going to be raining and/or very wet until dark. Brenda and I made an executive decision to cancel this evening's ride. Next week Dale Barnell is leading Thursday's ride. I was going to remind people that many Thursday SnEs still are "ride leaderless" so please rush directly to the OCC Ride Calendar and sign up to lead. Brenda and I can scan and send you leaders some optional maps we've come up with in addition to the SNEE1 map you'll ...Continue Reading

30 riders came out for Wednesday's ride from Camillus airport. It was nice not to wear a jacket, tights, or toe warmers! Three flats that I know of, and a couple of riders got lost and rode a few extra miles, but all in all everyone had a good ride. It was hot enough for cold watermelon after the ride. Thanks to everyone who came out! See ya next Wednesday out in Caz... -Colleen ...Continue Reading
