hi Everyone, Last evening was a great night for a ride.  I thought our turnout was a little light compared to our normal numbers.  We had 37 members show up and no guests.  These 37 members rode a combined distance of 615 miles. Tom Hotaling’s group rode option 3 although Tom had an unexpected flat about 3 miles into the loop and had to leave to get the flat replaced.  The positive side was that since he has been publishing the routes on the web site, everyone had route maps and made it th ...Continue Reading

Another fantastic night for the Time Trial! Sunny skies, temps in the mid-80s and a nice 8 mph NW.   Again, giving the TTers a nice push up the slopes of the first half of the course.  Only eight riders rolled to the start today. I guess a lot of people were still recovering from the Fourth of July weekend. We did have two more new riders try out the course!The fastest rider of the night was Gordy Pynn who ripped through the course with a 26:34 (24.16 mph).   The fastest woman was Alisa Rosenbaum wh ...Continue Reading

It was a beautiful day for 11 riders ranging from 37 to 101 miles. We started out going thru Manlius on the parade route and was given kudos by the parade announcer. Greetings were given by kids and adults to us. There were 4 century riders, Three in the 80's. One metric. And two doing the 37 ( a married couple) who rode to the start point. Only one incident was reported as witnessed by the ride leader. Only 2 miles till the end, on Salt Springs Road, a blue van came out in front of Dale making a left turn ...Continue Reading
