President Letter: 


I hope everyone's summer is going well.

We have several summer events, so make sure you are checking the newsletter and e-blasts regularly.

The Park City ski week is open for sign-ups. Park City is one of the biggest and best ski areas in the west, with great skiing and a town that is loaded with things to do.

We also have put together a trip to one of our favorite places: Mt. Snow in Vermont in Februaty. There are still some open spots.

You can see that, even though it is the start of summer, your club is already thinking of next ski season. 



~ Bob Sloan

Bike Ride to Fairport Canal Days!

Sunday, June 8

13 people did a 15 mile round trip ride.

Great day for bike ride and to enjoy the Canal Days

So much food, music and fun!

Thanks Kelly for pulling it together!


Father's Day Bike on Ithaca Black Diamond Trail

                

Six members enjoyed a nice day on the Black Diamond Trail.

One member walked 3 miles & five members rode 17.5 miles on the Trail. Conditions were great. No wind, no rain and short sleeve temperature. Views on the trail were as advertised, beautiful! 

The trailhead to the falls on the Gorge Road was closed due to construction. We pedaled on the road a ways to see a bit of water. Everyone enjoyed the Tailgate snacks, beverages and chit chat after. We all agreed that we need to come back when the trailhead to the

falls is reopened! 


Doug and I would like to thank everyone who came out for the day’s adventure with us! ~ Teresa

Thanks Teresa and Doug!!
