Tob de Boer of Ithaca passed away this week. He was a longtime cyclist, skier, and rower (and professor at Cornell, where he taught Paul Swinburne) who gave so much to the local communities in all these sports and more. In recent years he helped our club by serving as a race official at the Syracuse Race Weekend. He was a good man and will be missed. Here's a link to his obituary: https://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?CFID=4eb74593-af09-47ec-a30f-67203c7017f2&CFTOKEN=0&o_id=3697721&fh_id=1 ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, What a difference a week makes as well as about 20 degree warmer and dry weather.  Last Tuesday was a tough ride and our turn out showed that but this week was a different story.  We had 44 members show up yesterday along with 4 guests to give us a total of 48 riders for the second *Slow ‘n Easy *west ride of the season.  We covered a total of 626 miles for the evening.  What a great turnout and it was a pleasure to see a lot of old friends from last year’s rides as well as having ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, Tonight’s ride should enjoy better conditions than last week.  The temperature is up …nearly 60 and it is dry.  Seems like very little wind to deal with. Come out and give it a try if you have not yet done so.  I’ll be at the park around 5:30 for sign-in. *Where:*  Reed Webster Park, Camillus, NY located on Warners Rd (Rt 173) (parking lot on west end near tennis courts)                 & ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, Looks pretty dreary and damp this morning as I write this email.  But, according to the weather forecasters, tomorrow should bring a vast improvement with temperatures hitting a high around 62 at 5:00 pm. They are showing  sun with clouds all day J.  I’m good with that…a whole lot better than last week’s frigid temps and grey skies.  As usual, winter in Syracuse hates to let go to summer and last Tuesday was a great example.  I’ll purge that from my memory. OK, all of you ...Continue Reading
