Road ID...Ride Safe....Ride Smart

Submitted by PM on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 10:51am.

Head on over to www.roadid.com . Road ID is one of CNYC's newest sponsors. For those of you who are not familiar with Road ID it's a sports oriented ID bracelet. It displays your name, contact numbers and any critical medical information you might need to communicate to a Emergency Response Crew.
No one likes to think they are going to be involved in an accident. But even the safest and best cyclist ( athletes ) can't protect against other people's actions. Road ID will help you get the proper medical attention; and, assist in providing the vital contact information so your friends and family know you are getting helped. CNYCers will be riding and racing with Road ID bracelets this year. Road ID....it's who I am! Order online or stop in and see Rich Karaz at the Sneaker Store in New Hartford, NY.

Looking for a great pair of cycling sunglasses? Need to find a stylish pair of driving glasses? Trying to find a sport glasses manufacturer that makes prescription models?
If so check out CNYC's new 2010 sponsor Tifosi Optics. CNYC and Tifiosi have teamed up for the upcoming cycling season. CNYCers will be wearing two different models of Tifosis. The Logics and the Tyrants. Both match the club's kit and are great for riding in all types of conditions. Tifosi Optics products offer high performance, a great value and versatility. Many of the models that Tifosi offers come with multiple lens. Typically a dark, an amber and a clear. They don't hit you up for $20 extra per lens like many other glasses companies. Look for CNYC riders out on the road and at the races wearing the coolest new eyewear from Tifosi. Locally, Tifosi is sold by The Sneaker Store in New Hartford, NY. Stop in and see Rich Karaz. He'll set you up with a set of Tifosi that are right for you. On the web find model details and information at

History

The Joesph Brant Bicycle Regatta was the brainchild of, among others,
Michael Millner, a New York City escapee who moved to Oneonta in the spring
of 1975. He was most impressed with the General Clinton Canoe Regatta, that
being the area's major outdoor event and a source of great pride to the
hosting communities. His desire to participate in the weekend's excitement,

Thinking of Doing a Bike Tour? - Let Cyclotour.com Provide Some Guidance

Submitted by Bob Thomas on Wed, 01/20/2010 - 10:35pm.

While working for Delaware County, NY 4H Camp Shankitunk I had the opportunity to lead a bike trip from Niagara Falls to Delhi, NY. While mapping out the trip I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a book with tips about routes to take and great places to visit and/or camp?"

Lucky for me, before I left I learned about the books produced by Cyclotour.com - especially for me, the book about touring around Lake Ontario.

So if you are going on a bike trip this summer - don't reinvent the wheel - click on

2009 Owasco Flyer Race Report

Submitted by PM on Tue, 06/30/2009 - 9:25pm.

Thanks to Rich Karaz for the Great Result and Race Report

Jack K. and Mike T. did an amazing job of putting on this race. Chip Timing.....Perfectly Marshaled Intersections....a fun route and a beautiful course.

From Inside the Peloton......As it Happens.....By RK.

The Owasco Flyer...come-one-come-all. How do the race directors Jack Kirch and Mike Tersegno attract a crowd of 300 participants for a bike race around Owasco Lake? The quick answer is, they put on a great event with a swag bag and picnic for all after the event; there is an acute level of attention to rider value. Thanks guys. Your efforts showed well. Pre-registered were my CNYC clubmates Mike Beggs, Peter Martin and my Summertime neighbor Chris Welch of Indianapolis. I was unsure if I really wanted to go? Especially with my regular training partners Tope Damiano, Sarah Krysiak and Wayne Bray bowing out to prepare for Fitchburg. Okay, I'll go. The day got off wrong concerning the forecast which called for rain. It could not have been a nicer day. All went routinely smooth as Chris and I got ready to roll. As one of the race officials was giving last minute instructions Chris and I decided to find shade during the final minutes before the start. We both looked at the sea of 300 riders. Honestly, neither of us felt we would end up contesting 1st place. Still, you have to have some sort of plan. I said to Chris, "If we are in it for a good finish, the line comes up quickly at the top of a little kicker. Go earlier rather than later. If we are together, I'll give you a little shout." Remember that quote folks.
