Hi Everyone,
The next Slow ‘n Easy West ride scheduled for Tuesday June 7, 2015 will leave from the west end parking lot of Reed Webster Park in Camillus, located on Warners Rd (Rt 173), promptly at 6:00 PM. Please arrive early so that you can sign in and be ready to depart on time.
The forecast for Tuesday shows unsettled weather: mostly cloudy with showers in the area. A high of 72 is predicted. Hopefully we will be able to avoid those rain showers for the ride.
Here in Syracuse we are lucky to have the OCC Slow ‘n Easy (East or West) rides to give people who have not ridden since their childhood days the means to revisit the sport in a safe, non-intimidating manner and with people who are always willing to help in sharing the fun. If you have been reading these emails and thinking about coming out…just do it! If you are a rider and have a friend who has talked about the days when they rode their bikes all over, why not forward this email to them and encourage them to come for the ride and then join them at the ride this Tuesday (or Thursday)? They’ll find a great group of people with similar interests and goals to ride with and a variety of ride levels that will fit their skills and ability. Helping someone get into riding is a gift that will keep giving. Mike and I welcome new riders and look forward to their questions and interest in getting into the sport.
This ride is open to all members of the club as well as guests who have an interest in the sport. (Remember, if you have not yet renewed your membership from 2014…you are not a member and must sign in as a guest.) Guests are encouraged to join us on a ride and see if they like what we offer. If they do enjoy the ride, then we invite them to become a member so that they can take advantage of all the other club rides and activities during the year. Our insurance only allows us to have guests ride once during the season. Membership applications are available at rides or on line.
All riders are required to wear a DOT approved bike helmet for these rides. If you don’t have one, you can buy one at your favorite bike shop or sporting goods store…even Wal-Mart and Target have them. No helmet…no ride...no exceptions…and our insurance requires it. Riding without a helmet can be very dangerous. It’s very disconcerting to see someone riding a bike who should now better than to ride helmetless.
So, join us Tuesday evening June 7th for the next S’nE West ride.
Where: Reed Webster Park, Camillus, NY located on Warners Rd (Rt 173) (parking lot on west end near tennis courts)
When: Ride(s) leaves at 6:00 PM sharp; sign-in starts at ~5:30 PM
Bring: Your bike, an approved helmet, water bottle and a strong desire to ride; with the warmer weather, you’ll want to stay hydrated
Dress: Whatever you are comfortable wearing on a bike… the weather will help dictate this
Mike Lyon and I will be there to answer your questions and lead the rides along with our volunteer ride leaders. As usual, we’ll have treats for after the ride. Others are always welcome to bring post ride snacks to share. Stick around after the ride and we’ll be happy to listen to your comments and suggestions as well as answer any questions you may have.
See you all Tuesday evening. If you have any questions come early and we’ll will be happy to answer them.
Ciao,
Tony
