[occ2] Tuesday Night Time Trial potentially - 5:45 start ?

September 25th 2023 MDT

The weather looks decent for tomorrow.   The interesting aspect is the wind direction.  It is supposed to be coming out of the east, shifting to the S-SE.  Around 8mph.   I have always felt SE was the fastest direction..  With some luck the wind may shift early.If I get a minimum of 3 positive responses (text me 315-727-1458) from TTers wanting to give it go,  I'll be at the start. Please let contact me by 3pm if interested.  We have a nice spell of warm weather coming, ...Continue Reading

Jim, I'm sorry to hear about your fall.  Wow.  It certainly sounds like a concussion. I fell on those tracks about 3 years ago.  They intersect the road at such a steep angle that it is very easy to catch your tire in the groove and go down.   The angle of the tracks force you to swerve out as you approach them so that you go over them close to a 90 degree angle.  Definitely hazardous.  Love the road, hate those tracks. I went down on my left side too on to my elbow, arm and shoulde ...Continue Reading

[occ2] I had an incident

September 25th 2023 MDT

Hi Everyone,I wanted to share an event that happened in the hope of helping someone else in the future. I decided to ride the 53 mile Truxton route the club was to make on Sunday. I wanted to finish early to chase life's needs. I set out on my own at 8am up Apulia road like I have so many times. My last memory of the ride was approaching the RR tracks at Jamesville Beach. I know I was aware of the wet conditions and was thinking of the need to be careful. My Garmin sent out an Event Notification that I had an event ...Continue Reading
