Regular Events

Sunday

The FLCC Sunday tour is the club's primary weekly event. We meet at 10:00 am in the early and late part of the season, 9:00 am during the height of summer. The meeting point varies week to week; see the specific date's ride in the calendar

Monday

Mountain bike rides from Swan Cycles, 5:00 pm, year-round. If bikes can't be used, participants turn to snow shoes, skis, or anything else at hand.

Tuesday

The Tuesday ride — not a club-sponsored event. For racers and other strong riders, beginning April 16 (tentative date). Meet at 6:00 PM at Ide's Bowling Center on East Hill.

Cyclocross training at Swan Cycles --- these sessions take place during the part of the year when the training races (above) aren't going on.

Wednesday

The Wednesday ride — the club's ride for riders who want to work hard in a noncompetitive environment. Meet at 5:30 at the HSBC bank on East Hill.

Thursday

The Thursday ride — for riders who want or need a slower group to ride with. Meet at 5:30 pm at the Tompkins County Professional Building parking lot on NY96 north just past the entrance to the hospital.

Time Trials — Thursday is time trial day in Ithaca. Festivities start at 6:00 pm, beginning May 9, at the Coddington Community Center. (This is the same location they were held several years ago --- from NY 79 east of Ithaca, turn on Burns Rd, cross the valley, and turn left on Coddington Rd for just a bit.)

The Nite Club at Connecticut Hill --- start at 5:30 pm. These rides start in the fall and continue on skis when that becomes necessary. We meet at the corner of Ridge Rd. and Ct. Hill Rd. at 5:30 PM. Lights are optional for the first few rides of the season, but become essential after that. Come on out and join the fun! Directions: Take RT 79 West 10 miles from Ithaca. Turn L on Black Oaks Rd. heading 4 or 5 miles south to Ct Hill. The road bends Rt and comes to Tee. Turn L and go 3/4 mile down hill. Ridge Rd is on Right.

Friday

Sadly, nobody goes cycling on Fridays, it seems.
