Hi Everyone,I neglected to include Tom’s hill night option in my Sunday email…must be old age or something.  Tom has selected option #1 for this week’s challenge.  It is 22 miles with total elevation of 1400’.  Get a good night’s rest tonight for all those going with Tom…you’ll need the energy. Tomorrow’s weather is a bit of a challenge.  Hopefully the bad stuff will be by us by the time we are ready to rideJ. Ciao,Tony    Virus-free. www.avast.com ...Continue Reading

I will be at the start area at 9:30 to talk about cadence, shifting, and really anything that anyone has questions about.  I’m also ready to ride along with any for a few miles and work through shifting issues on the road.  See you, or not, in a bit.  On May 27, 2017, at 7:39 AM, jcchin@PROTECTED jcchin@PROTECTED [occ2] <occ2@PROTECTED> wrote:Dear Cyclists: in case you were seriously considering coming out for a ride in the rain this morning, I am canceling this morning's skills clinic.

Dear Cyclists: in case you were seriously considering coming out for a ride in the rain this morning, I am canceling this morning's skills clinic. I may offer this in advance of another OCC ride soon. Ben might still come out to cover some other topics - I will leave it to him to post a go/no-go. Attached is a hand-out with talking points I was planning to discuss. Sorry and see you some other (drier) time.

Last day of May and again the weather was less than optimal for a bike ride.  But five Friday faithful cyclists persevered to do the 40 mile ride from Carpenter Brook to Spook Woods.  We skipped the famous Bonta Bridge due to the sporadic drizzle (sometimes heavy), but managed to get in the same number of miles with our detour.  Attached is the obligatory picture at the Spook Woods road sign.   ...Continue Reading

This past Tuesday night was a clone of week 1 -   70 degrees with 4-5 mph NW breeze.   There may have been  a tiny headwind for the initial three miles on Chestnut Ridge. It's hard to determine the overall effect - some riders were faster, some were faster.  Let's go with this premise:  if you were slower , it was due to the wind; if you were faster, it was due to improved fitness. We  had the same number of riders turn out as last week - 13, but unfortunately only 12 were able to roll ...Continue Reading
