STBC Memorial ride

Southern Tier Bicycle Club Memorial RidePlease join us for our Memorial Ride at Hickories Park, Pavilion #3 in Owego, on Sunday, September 20th, as we come together to remember, honor, and celebrate the lives of our club members who have passed away.We will begin with a brief memorial ceremony, during which the names of our departed club members will be read, followed by “The Biker’s Prayer,” a poem we believe was written by our fellow club member Dottie Rice.After the ceremony, we’ll begin a day of cycling, fellowship, and sharing memories of past rides and special times together.Memorial Ride DetailsDate: Sunday, September 20thEvent Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PMRide Start: 11:30 AMLocation: Hickories Park, Pavilion #3, OwegoPark location:https://maps.app.goo.gl/QQerBBgzmWYoVds5AWe Remember● Louis Abrahamson● Sherry Bigart● Jim Bryden● Bob Dannecker Sr.● Joyce Dannecker● Mary Ellen Engard● John Feaveayear● Dave Heck● Jeanette Hriciga● Larry Lehman● Ted Makoske● Craig Martindale● Emily Martindale● Maney Mayer● August Mueller● Andrejs Ozolins● Dottie Rice● Don Robertson● Larry Rouff● John Ruth● Denny Uhlig● Roger Westgate● Joe Wolfer● Elmer ZinnerRide OptionsOwego / Hickories Park to Nichols — 26.3 milesRide Leader: To be determinedPace: 10–12 mph PB&J paceTerrain: Much of the route is relatively flat, with some hills on NY-17C west of Owego and on Smith Creek Road / Sulphur Springs Road.Route:https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35225377Owego / Hickories Park to Candor — 34 milesRide Leader: To be determinedPace: 10–12 mph PB&J paceTerrain: A relatively flat route with a nice mix of urban and rural roads.Route:https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35225506West Creek–Gaskill Loop from Hickories — 46.9 milesRide Leader: To be determinedPace: To be determinedTerrain: More challenging.Route:https://ridewithgps.com/routes/25548269Ride Leaders NeededPlease consider volunteering to lead one of these rides.
