Hi there, Last night was another ugly ride night in Syracuse.  The big question is ‘when /will it get better/?’ No one knows.  But,  it could be nice on our next ride…which is NOT NEXT TUESDAY (July 4th).  If you want to ride somewhere you are free to do it on your own. The next SnEW is July 11th…see you then and hopefully it will be dry and warm. We tried to have a ride last night and those that did come out did get to ride.  Some got a little damp and some got wet.  You know who ...Continue Reading

Hi again, Accuweather is saying that we will have rain over the next hour but it should stop around 5:00PM.  We may see some sun or clouds then.  They are not showing rain beyond that time.  So, I  think we should give it a try.  If it is raining at 6:00. We’ll scrub it. Tony    Virus-free. www.avast.com ...Continue Reading

Yes this is a hilly ride for just two segments, then you can relax the rest of the time.   Will have a few maps so bring your own either paper or other.   Last year there were storm cells all around us with the lead group doing road cleanup But they skipped Brinkerhoff.  Looking for better weather this time!       Edwin Chin 7437 Henry Clay Blvd HCB 3 Liverpool NY 13088 315 460 4104 EMS CNI     This e-mail, and any attachments are strictly confidential and intended for the a ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, The route that Tom Hotaling is using this week is hill option #2.  This is a 25 mile loop with 1694’ of elevation not to be confused with the regular option #2. Sorry for the confusion.  Just remember that the last Tuesday of the month is Tom’s “hill” option, not the standard option. Tony    Virus-free. www.avast.com ...Continue Reading
