April 5—Opening day of cycling season, beginning of daylight saving time! Meet at the Cass Park pavilion just past the new Route 89 bridge. There will be membership forms and folks to answer questions for anyone interested in joining the club or trying the rides. The ride will begin shortly after 10:00 am. The main route is 20 miles to the Taughannock Falls overlook and back. Shorter and longer options will be indicated for those who want them.

May 3—This is the day of the FLCC’s annual race, the Hollenbeck Spring Classic. Members are invited to watch the race or volunteer to support the race activities. We’ll begin our ride after the race, and follow the 22-mile course. With the racers safely out of the way, we’ll be able to enjoy the lovely route at a leisurely pace. Meet at Hollenbeck’s Cider Mill, in Virgil. Ride starts at approximately 12:30 pm (depending on when the race course clears).
