Days starting to get a bit shorter, occasional thunderstorm welcomed to beat down the humidity, corn is really tall and has that sticky sweet smell when you ride by, tired of mowing the lawn, and while there's still some summertime racing still to be had, the true sign of the summer winding down ....neighbors pawning off their extra zucchini.
Squash or no squash, four Ommegangsters did their good deed to support Endurance Factor and Syracuse Bicycle (team sponsors btw) on Saturday by helping shepherd some tri types on the Syracuse 70.3 bike course as part of a training camp. Crazy windy along the 56 mile course made it a bit challenging but all survived with the Ommegangsters presence much appreciated by the organizers and many of the tri folks.
Another four Ommegangsters rolled out Albany way to participate in the Capital Region Road Race this past weekend. Rooster Mike & Dan the Plan doing the Masters thing and Dave Y and Craig N hitting some 3/4 action with Craig again pulling a podium spot -- nice work.
On a whim, Drumroll stopped off in Little Falls Sunday am on a return trip from his parents after attending a charity type event the night before. The Canal Classic was on tap (beer pun) and he saw lots of familiar faces lining up. In the end Wayne B destroyed the field while Drumroll battled with a couple MaxPower dudes in the first chase group to wind up 5th.
Tour de Loop coming up this weekend and then a few other events like Thater, a MTB World Cup event at Windham (World Cup in our back yard folks -- not just the best MTBers domestically but the best in the world).
Planning for Critz Farms Kermis is coming along (Sept 18) as well as the CX event at Brewery Ommegang (Oct 3). More details soon.
