The conditions were pretty much as forecasted - 78 degrees with a firm 8mph WNW breeze.   And there was the challenge of the newly oiled and stoned section of Kirkville Rd.   Given the less than favorable wind and stoned section of road I was predicting the times to be negatively impacted by about 20 seconds. Now to the results !Four TTers were up for the challenge.  Hop blasted through the course and took FMT honors with a time of 24:43(24.28mph). Darn impressive considering his partaking of a ...Continue Reading

The TT tomorrow will be on the unofficial last day of the "dog days of summer" (according to the The Old Farmer's Almanac).   There is absolutely no rain in the forecast.  The only dark cloud over the course will be a result of  the road maintenance work Madison County decided to do on Kirkville Road. They have tarred and stoned a long stretch of the road.  So, that short stretch from Marsh Mill to Moore will require attentiveness.  Thanks to Ken Toscano with the heads-up.Conditio ...Continue Reading

Don't let the drive distance discourage you from this gem of a ride that only a small number got to enjoy last year as it was scheduled for Friday. The start in Erwin Park is easily accessed off RT 12 onto the  Cemetery Rd parking lots. The ride follows flat sections along the Black river and hits the 1st hill cutting over to the Moose river. We usually take a short detour down to Ager Falls, which is one of the best swimming holes in the state. We'll follow the drop of the river to Lyons Falls, where it joins the ...Continue Reading
