14 riders set off on the Rescue Mission courses and logged distances from 21 to 64 miles. Only one flat noted, but said rider finished the course. In the month since I rode the 62, I had forgotten how difficult the course actually was! A noticeable change during the ride: the cold front passed through, dropping the humidity, but picking up a nice nw headwind on the way back.Paul Voglewede Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone ...Continue Reading

Hi, I’m your friendly ride leader for this Sunday, August 27. It happens to be the 25th anniversary of the day I lost my dad - who was just 64 (my current age) - to skin cancer. One of the reasons I chose to be the ride leader is that it will give me something positive to do on that day. My dad taught me how to ride a bike, and as adults we rode many miles together on the Schenectady area section of the Erie Canal towpath. My goal is to ride 64 miles this weekend - I completed 30 today (went out a day early due to ...Continue Reading

It was another nice night for a bike ride. Eight TTers showed up to beat back their inner demons on the fastest  TT course East of the Mississippi (yep, I'm back with that now )  !The group was paced by our resident rocket man, Tiago.  He goes first so as to not blow anyone over as he passes by.  He incredibly TIED his PR of 21:21 (28.11mph) even after having to finesse his chain back on to his 55 tooth chainring after it slipped past it.  That probably cost 3-4 seconds.  Bonnie took t ...Continue Reading

What a great night for a ride.  We had 31 riders doing 675 miles.  Unfortunately, one rider never left the park due to a mechanical issue and one that took a wrong turn but was able to get back on the route after a couple of phone calls.  Once it got close to sunset, the temp began to drop. Likely some shorter routes since sunset will be about 15 minutes earlier around 7:45Have a route you want to do next week, let me know or as usual I will pick one.See you next week.  ...Continue Reading
