The ride had scheduled mileages of 33, 46 & 59 miles but it seems like hardly any of the 34 riders logged in those numbers. A variety of miles between 31 and 63.6 were recorded with a few confessions of "getting lost". Other comments included "braking for old skunks", "fear of downhills gone" and "hilly! not rolling to hilly" which others who chose the longer option confirmed. In general it was just a great morning for a bike ride with pleasant temperatures, low winds and ...Continue Reading

In my haste I did fail to mention that Jill Walsh rode a 3-wheeled trike.  18.31 mph on a trike is an excellent speed! I believe she said that a speed of 17.5 mph qualifies one for the Nationals.Brian From:* "Brian Goetke goetke1@PROTECTED" <occ2@PROTECTED> *To:* occ2 Subscriber <goetke1@PROTECTED> Sent:* Wednesday, July 13, 2016 4:21 PM Subject:* [occ2] OCC Tuesday night Time Trial Results #8 - Chittenango - East TT course (Mailing list information, including how to remove ...Continue Reading

Yes, the ride leader decided to go home and dump the water out of his cycling shoes that had collected in the short amount of time he was loading the bike into the car during the deluge.   Entertaining write-up Dave.   Glad you all managed to stay away from the "red" cells that were lurking around Cazenovia.     I was surprised you all decided to go down Stanley cliff.... you all must be confident of your brakes.I have confirmation that 5 made it back safely...     Ed?   ...Continue Reading

Well, since the ride leader and part-time meteorologist got there “not quite ready to ride” and he didn’t participate, I’ll fill you in on tonight's ride.With the humidity hovering near 100% 6 of us decided conditions were fair and started out from Minoa toward the East into a bit of a headwind.  We moved along at a good pace along Kirkville road, and ran into a few sprinkles along Poolsbrooke. We headed south into Mycenae and then up Gulf Road with sun peaking through the trees.We regrouped at the top of Gulf roa ...Continue Reading

Last weekend was the 2016 edition of Syracuse Race Weekend.  If you didn't make it out, you missing a great weekend of racing, and I don't think many people were aware that on Sunday we had a Canadian National Road Race Champion racing with it.  Very cool stuff. As part of race weekend, the local bike shops provide prizes for the racers that we give away throughout the weekend, and this year they were *extraordinarily** generous*. In a day and age of o ...Continue Reading

We had spectacular conditions for the Time Trial.  The temperature hovered around 90 degrees, but the winds had faded to a whisper....  Twelve riders rolled to the start line -  four were new to the Chittenango TT course.   When Alex Johnson blew through the finish line with a PR (by 26 seconds) of 23:04 I figured we had our fastest man time.   But, I hadn't counted on course newby Dave Tate destroying the course with a 22:56 (26.17 mph) and posting the fastest time of 2016.   ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, We had another great turnout of riders last night for the SnE ride.  We had 45 members and 3 guests ride for a total of 48 riders.  Not too bad for a very warm day…but it is cooler when you are riding.  The group rode a total of 863 miles for the evening. We had our normal mix of rides.  Mike Lyon was not able to be there last night but Steve Lamonica and Pete Zeleznock did an excellent job of filling for him.  Thanks guys!  Tom Hotaling led a group of hard riders on ...Continue Reading
