Stay tuned for our fall Ideafest
And whether you’re a new or rejoining member, you might just
have the perfect idea for a fun-filled social event. Get involved and make TCSC your Club. We look forward to seeing you at our “Ideafest.” If you’d
like more information or have an idea, but can’t attend the meeting,
e-mail to
Social@TripleCitiesSkiClub.com. The club needs a social committee to be created and then conduct an "Ideafest" as described above. Once or twice a year is usually enough to arrive at a list of planned events. Details can be worked out later by the event coordinators. If you would like to help form a social committee, please contact our membership directors or the club president using the e-mail addresses found on the "Contact Us" page. |

Bike and Dine 2007!
Saturday, October 6th
We will partner with the
Southern Tier Bicycle Club (STBC) for this year's event! The other opportunity is to bike Plattekill Mountain. (TCSC will coordinate this ride.) Plattekill is less than 2 hours from Binghamton, but is known to the rest of the world as a mountainbiking Mecca. There are 60 miles of trails and lift service for you and your bike! You can choose from easy (not steep) trails to exciting downhills for the more adventurous (and bodyarmored) soles. In either case, strenuous pedaling is not required. When you reach the bottom, just jump on the chairlift again for another scenic ride to the top. Then choose another scenic route back down. Sounds a lot like skiing, doesn't it? One difference, though, is that if you want to take a super easy route, there are 4 and 6 mile routes to get to the bottom which average less than half as steep as Plattekill's long, green ski trails used in the winter. There is truly something for every level of rider here! ([pdf]PlattekillTrailmap.) Plattekill Mountain will assign a guide to the TCSC group to show us the best routes and get us started. If you would like to rent a mountain bike, Plattekill rents them. There will be special, lower rates in effect for TCSC members for this trip for both lift tickets and bike rentals.
What about the dining part of Bike and Dine?
This will be a "Breakfast, Bike and Dine" because we will stop in
Oneonta at the Neptune Diner for breakfast. On the way home we
will stop at nice restaurant to refuel. Remember to bring money for the meals and the biking and
some cash if you want to divide travel costs. Photos from Bike and Dine 2006 Additional information and Itinerary for 2007 For other biking opportunities, check out these links to area bike clubs:
