What an awesome day, one of the best weather days of the year!  First, a huge Thank you to George Elmy for his help setting up the courses in the fields and all the raking and setting up barriers and teeter-totter!  Also for donating the HUGE trophies that the winners really got a kick out of!  
Thanks also to Jim Danvers for wading his way through the muddy parts of the course and climbing a tree stand to take photos of everyone!
Thank you to Margaret Thompson who rode her bike 74 miles from her house to ours and then officiating the finish line!

RACE begins at 11:30am

AWARDS and LUNCH following the race.  Please bring something to contribute for lunch, maybe rolls, lunch meats, crock of soup or chili, snacks.....this will be a fun lead into the Dave Panella Memorial race the following Sunday!

All of these years, I refused to try cross.  I fought it all the way to the end saying that riding a road-style bike on grass was just plain silly.  Then one day a few weeks ago, I was bored, had a baby-sitter, basically no excuses...so I tried cross.  I just couldn't wipe that s..t-eating grin off my face afterwards.  Now I've got the bug, but no bike.  I'm working with Jim at CPC for a new spring purchase.  In the meatime, I am looking to borrow or possibly even purchase a used model for the remainder of the season and for some winter commutes.  I am optimistically hoping to find something before the Kapinus Kross race this Sunday or at least the Panella Memorial next weekend.  It will need to be a 52" frame, pedals and tire conditions not a concern.  Email me at this address, or jackie@... or call 237-3213.
 
Thanks,
Jackie Hendrickson

Hi everyone, looking for anyone who would like to volunteer to do the finish line at our race on Sunday so I can race too.
It will be VERY EASY....not many riders, maybe 25, we'll have a finish chute and make each rider tell their name after the cross the line, honor system for anyone who may be lapped, but it shouldn't happen since the course is plenty long enough.

Race is at 11:30, food and party afterwards :)

Thanks,
Marsha

Hey ladies,

I came across a poster advertising this film screening last week (interestingly, I noticed the poster post-spin class), and thought some of you may be interested.

The screening is at BU; details and a link to the film's website are below.  I hope to go to cross practice at Ely and make it to campus by 7pm for the viewing.  It's free!  There will be refreshments! (These things always appeal to college students like yours truly.)

Dear friend,
I am willing to give you a big surprise. I found a website:  www.seggroup.net . last week. They mainly sell phones , laptops, tvs ,digital cameras and motorbikes. I ordered a tv . now I have got the product after 5 days. Its quality is very good.
By the way, they only sell new and original products and their products have international warranty. Now , they are promoting their products, so the prices are very competitives. If you need these products, you can have a look. Don not miss the good chance !
Best wishes!

Hi Delana,

The cross race in Saratoga is on the 25th.  The races on the weekend of the 17th and 18th are Troy (both days) and Syracuse on the 18th.  I plan on being at Troy and Syracuse.  I am not sure about the 25th, as my daughter will be in town.

Have fun out there and good luck!!!

Hey ladies,
One of those dates might be easier to do for Bob and I (and Bob's kids,
who are with us almost every weekend through the winter).   That way it
wouldn't be another whole trip for them-they like coming to cross races
but it tires them out by the end of the day, it's hard work spectating
when you're a kid :)

I'll be doing the Greene race so that would be good for me. Otherwise since I'm not a prominent racer, it doesn't matter, what works for you higher ranked gals.

Tami, thanks for the reminder....

Maybe it would be best to combine a meeting with a local race (such as Greene on 11/8 or DPM on 11/15)


That way, we'll have a better chance of people available since many will be coming to the race already and we can just stay in the building at the race site or we can go to my house after the race to finish business.  


Then, people wouldn't have to travel from out of town specifically for the meeting.


How does that sound to everyone?  group photo, race, change, eat, then meeting.


Please let us know which race you make it to (even if you're just coming to cheer and meet, you don't have to race)  


Thanks,

Marsha


Hi Everyone..
 
I can see that everyone is full blown into cross, and that there are a bunch of races going on the weekend that I am planning our meeting (which was originally the 18th).
This meeting is really to work out details for everyone trying to obtain some sponsorship or donations for next season, as well as for getting some pics all in order and getting them framed with our signatures and thank you's to send to the sponsors, etc from this past season. It is really a good and important thing to do for the team.

 
So, that being said, can anyone meet the following weekend of October 24th or 25th and which day might work best... we really have to nail it down and each of us put a tiny bit of effort into this stuff (I don't mean to harp, but i want to insure we get sponsorships for next season- and the economy has been tough on everyone).....

 
If you guys can let me know.. it would be great.. I am thinking like a 10:00 a.m. meeting for like just an hour or so... then a ride, if that works out.. here at TER if possible, maybe somewhere else if that doesn't work.

 
Thanks so much.. and good luck out there the next few weeks of cross racing.. Next season I will be out there too for sure!

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11TH, 2009...
 
Weather forecast: 55 degrees, mostly sunny, only 10% chance of precip!  Perfect riding weather!

10th Annual Hammondsport Hump. It's on Columbus Day weekend, so if you have the option to take Monday off, we can stay late and eat and drink into the night!  A few folks are even driving up Saturday night and enjoying some wine tours the night before so they can enjoy a later start and only have a really short drive in the morning.  There are some lodging options in Bath which is only 10 min away. You can Google the hotels there if you need to make reservations.
 
Please note, this is the last year we are doing the Hammondsport.  We used to do a ride prior to the Hump called the "Rongo 50".  Now that it has been over 10 years since that excursion, we are reviving it again for hopefully another 10 year run!  That's a 50 mile loop that goes up the east side of Seneca and back down the west side of Cayuga and hits all of the best wineries on two wonderful lakes!  It all wraps up at the end of the ride for a fun and casual meal and live music at the Rongovian Embassy (thus the "Rongo 50").  We will keep you posted for that trip next year

The Hammondsport Hump is a 36/60 mile bike tour around Keuka Lake:

This year, we will be starting this year at the
village square in Hammondsport. We will proceed up
the east side of the lake for the 1st leg of the ride.
This leg is a relatively flat 18 mile pedal up to
Penn Yan. We will be stopping this year at 2 wineries
on the 1st leg of the tour. Pack a lunch for a stop
at Penn Yan Park (there is also a town right
there with pizza slices, subs, and
refreshments) . This will also be the turn-around point
for those wishing to return the easier 36 mile round
trip route back to Hammondsport. After lunch, those
wishing to do the complete 60 mile route will continue
around the tip of Keuka Lake and proceed around and
down the west side of the lake. We will do 2-3
additional stops at Hunt Country and Dr. Frank.  I've pulled my professional strings and we will get a discount on all purchases along with a private tasting.  
 
This 2nd loop is an additional rolling 42 miles
with a challenging climb to Bully Hill. The short loop mileage is 36
flat miles, round trip, and the long loop is 60 miles with
hills, round trip. Dinner will be optional at the
Village Tavern at 6:30 pm in Hammondsport after the ride.  So far, we have a group of 18 eating! 
This is a fun trip, the sights are breathtaking, and
the hospitality from the wineries is wonderful. 
 
Audrey O'Brien is our sag wagon volunteer.  I'm sure she would like some company if any of you that are going have a significant other that would like to go, but prefers not to ride it by bike!
Anybody who flats, mechanicals, gets drunk, or just plain can't
pedal anymore will be welcome to hop in for a ride on
the back half. You will be responsible for carting
your lunches and purchases on the 1st leg of the trip unless Audrey wants to pick up purchases from the first half of the trip.
As always, at the beginning of the trip, I take up a
collection so that we may buy something special for the sag drivers.

Itinerary:
Meet at the Rt 17/17C Apalachin exit boat launch at
8:15 am leave promptly to tailgate at 8:30 am, or meet at the Village
Square in Hammondsport at 10:15, ready to ride at
10:45 am SHARP!  Wineries open from noon until 5:00. Lunch stop at approx. 1:00 in Penn Yan, dinner in Hammondsport at 6:30 pm.

Directions to Hammondsport:
Take RT-17 WEST, becomes I-86 WEST
Take the BATH(RT-415) exit, exit #39 - go 0.3 mi
Turn on BABCOCK HOLLOW RD - go 0.6 mi
Continue on RT-415 - go 2.0 mi
Continue on LIBERTY ST - go 0.2 mi
Continue on GENEVA ST - go 0.7 mi
GENEVA ST becomes RT-54 - go 5.9 mi
Turn on RT-54A - go 0.5 mi
Turn on LAKE ST - go 0.1 mi
Arrive at the center of HAMMONDSPORT, NY
Please email or call me at 237-3213 if you have any
questions! RSVP FOR DINNER ONLY is preferred so we know how many to make reservations for (18 so far)!  Hope to see you all there this year!
Jackie

It sounds like mud was served up at both cyclocross races this weekend!  Due to some factors regarding my work, I opted to do the Parma Cyclocross race, near Rochester.  While the fields were not as big as Ommegang, the enthusiasm of each of the racers and spectators was definitely huge.  The classes that everyone's been taking to improve heckling have contributed to the roars that were happening near the shores of Lake Ontario as well.

All women started out 15 seconds behind the master men.  I got the hole shot and effectively blocked Natoli and Shana around the first few muddy turns.  Eventually, they slipped away from me, although I did get them back on the paved road section.  However, muddy turns outnumbered power sections and they eventually got away.  I pushed my way through the back of the master men, and had a good race though, to put a solid lock on third.  Shana, in her home race, pulled away from Natoli and held on for the win. I represented MIM on the podium for photos, with mud still caked on my legs.  It was a fun race!

The Open Men's race saw the course completely deteriorate.  The mud hole before the runup became one long runup, and the off camber was crazy.  This was an hour long race, though, and once the mud got completely stirred up some of it also began to dry -- on chains and derailleurs.  Toward the end of the race a fairly steady stream of guys began to emerge, shouldering their broken-derailleur bikes.  The winner there would be the bike shops!

Congratulations to everyone who put their leg over a cyclocross bike this weekend.  I hope you all had fun!

Take care,

What an awesome day it turned out be yesterday for the Ommegang Brewery Cyclocross race!
I can't tell you how many people were there, (A LOT), and I can't tell you where anyone finished (doesn't matter when you're having a blast) :)  but I can tell you that if you weren't there, you missed out!

Thanks to Gregg Drumm and the Ommegang crew for a fabulous event.  We received commemorative Cyclocross Ommegang pint glasses, free beer, tour of the brewery and several tastings....all while enjoying a beautiful day, listening to great music, riding our bikes, ....heckling ...I mean..cheering on the riders.... and hanging out with awesome people.

Many of the TVC men opted for two races, WAY TO GO, you guys!
Pat, John, Karl, Paul, Elliott, Dave, AJ, George, DanO, Ed Burns, Josh were all racing in fine form!  Chris, Tami, Tracy, John, Audrey were there cheering us on.
Kim, Angela and Delana represented Mission in Motion in the Cat 4 women's race at 9:15 when it was still quite slippery out there.  Delana finished her very first cross race in style sliding around the corner under the beer tent on her last lap, you did awesome!

By the time the Open women's race started, the sun and heat dried the course up nicely providing a fast packed in trail for us to follow.  Vanessa, Karla and I raced in the Open race with LOTS of screaming spectators cheering us all around the course.  Karl & Dan were giving hand ups during our race, I wasn't quite ready for the first offering, wanted to make sure I had enough of a gap, so I went hard and took the next one strategically offered right before the mud pit area (thanks Dan), so I had to put the cup in my teeth so I could use my hands to keep the bars straight through the mud, and figured out it was pretty easy to keep riding while tipping my head back for a drink (got a lot of cheers for that) :)

We also heard many loud heckles (directed at many various riders)  throughout the day such as:  
"interesting technique over those barriers Cornell, but that's not going to get you there!"  
"Go, Go, Go, ride it like you stole it!"  
"attack that hill" "that brand new TT bike isn't helping you now is it"  
"Go back to Rochester"
"c'mon, big ring, big ring, youcandoit"
"What are you doing walking that hill, when you said it was totally rideable!"

SO many good ones, over top of each other, I can't remember them all :)  what a great day!
Next Sunday, there's a choice of some more fun either on the Hammondsport winery ride or the Swandrome CX race (wish I could do both), but I'm running low on wine in the house and need to stock up :)

Okay I've tried to get the directions link to work but it's not.  So try
mapquesting or GoogleMaps to get directions from 59 Buck Hill Rd South,
Mecklenburg NY, to 106 Bank Street, Newfield, NY 14867.  Or you can find
us after the race and follow us home...

Hey ladies,
Sorry this is sort of LATE notice, but...
For people doing Buck Hill tomorrow, Bob and I live really close by in
Newfield and we're going to make a big pot of chili tonight and have it
warm for after the race tomorrow.  There will be a few people coming
including a couple from Bob's team... Drop me an email back if you think
you'll be stopping by, or call me at 631 885 1226.  Hope to see some of
you there!

This was posted to Tioga Velo Club and the Binghamton Mountain Bike Group.  A few folks from the Mission in Motion and Ski Club that go every year asked me to send this posting out to their groups (Tim, please forward to your group) in hopes that even more of you will join us...

 
We are going with Sunday, October 11th for the 10th Annual Hammondsport Hump. It's on Columbus Day weekend, so if you have the option to take Monday off, we can stay late and eat and drink into the night!  A few folks are even driving up Saturday night and enjoying some wine tours the night before so they can enjoy a later start and only have a really short drive in the morning.  There are some lodging options in Bath which is only 10 min away. You can Google the hotels there if you need to make reservations.

This is not an all-out drink fest, so children are welcome if you can drag them along on your bikes! The restaurant we eat at after the ride is family friendly. The prices and fare are upscale. However, there are kids' menus and bar food options and the dress is casual. There may also be few musicians playing that night.
 
Please note, this is the last year we are doing the Hammondsport.  We used to do a ride prior to the Hump called the "Rongo 50".  Now that it has been over 10 years since that excursion, we are reviving it again for hopefully another 10 year run!  That's a 50 mile loop that goes up the east side of Seneca and back down the west side of Cayuga and hits all of the best wineries on two wonderful lakes!  It all wraps up at the end of the ride for a fun and casual meal and live music at the Rongovian Embassy (thus the "Rongo 50").  We will keep you posted for that trip next year

The Hammondsport Hump is a 36/60 mile bike tour around Keuka Lake.

trip route back to Hammondsport. After lunch, those
wishing to do the complete 60 mile route will continue
around the tip of Keuka Lake and proceed around and
down the west side of the lake. We will do 2-3
additional stops at Hunt Country (Shelley's parents
may be there provinding wine samplings for us) and either Bully Hill
and/or Dr. Frank (I will see if I can pull my professional strings and get a 30% discount on all purchases).  This is an additional rolling 42 miles with a challenging climb to Bully Hill. The short loop mileage is 36 flat miles, round trip, and the long loop is 60 miles with
hills, round trip. Dinner will be optional at the
Village Tavern at 6:30 pm in Hammondsport after the ride.
This is a fun trip, the sights are breathtaking, and
the hospitality from the wineries is wonderful. We
had great 75 degree weather and a record turn-out
this weekend last year. All levels of ability are welcome.
This is a casual-paced fun ride.
 
We possibly have a sag wagon volunteer.
Anybody who flats, mechanicals, gets drunk, or just plain can't
pedal anymore will be welcome to hop in for a ride on
the back half. You will be responsible for carting
your lunches and purchases on the 1st leg of the trip.
The sag wagon will pick up purchases from the first half of the trip
and bikes, bodies and purchases on the 2nd
half of the trip. I am also looking for a volunteer with a
2nd sag wagon to maybe take some pressure off of our sole driver
so far this year.  As always, at the beginning of the trip, I take up a
collection so that we may buy something special for the sag drivers.
