Club Rides / Finger Lakes Tour - June 16-18...
Last post by Allen McGregor - March 25, 2023, 09:00:01 PMThe 3 day Finger Lakes Tour is scheduled for June 16-18 2023. You are free to join any or all of the rides. Please register on the Cycle Club App or Website for the days you plan to attend, so we can better plan groups and ride leaders. Links to the routes are available on Cycle Club.
Club members are responsible for booking their own accommodations. The Friday ride starts at 10:00 AM to allow time to drive from home in the morning.
If you are OK with basic accommodation, several club members (including myself) are staying at the Lafayette Motel. The motel has a decent restaurant and a nice courtyard to hang out at after the rides.
Traditionally many of us go to the Wegmans grocery store on Friday evening and eat out on the patio. There is a good selection of hot food, a burger bar and beer on tap.
We will break into Touring/Easy Roller and Classic/Sportif paced groups at the start of the rides.

Classifieds / Gravel bike for sale - size 54...

My 2021 Rocky Mountain Solo 50 (54cm) is for sale because I'm upgrading. Tried and true on all surfaces (paved, gravel, rail trail, rocky double track, singletrack). It's a 1 X 11 and tubeless, GRX, 700 X 40c, and bikepacking ready with 3 bottle cages, and rivets on the forks for extra carrying capacity. Link below for photo and full specs, the only change is the saddle.
This royal blue and black beauty was protection taped when brand new, so there's very little cosmetic wear and tear. It has just been meticulously serviced by one of the GTA's top mechanics, so has a new chain, BB, sealant and bar tape, and everything has been cleaned, tightened, and lubricated, etc.
https://resources.bikes.com/en/bikes/solo/2021 (** be sure to select "50" in the drop down box)
Asking $1,500

Hey Percy,
Seems to have resolved itself now that I'm set up in the Cycle Club App. If I recall correctly it was the link on the Touring Schedule page.
Thanks!
Colin
