Hi Everyone, It was a great night to ride last night.  Everyone who attended had an opportunity to once again enjoy some of the nicest cycling weather we have had in the last couple of years.  There were 40 members who came out last night.  There were no guests at the ride.  The 40 riders rode a total of 664 miles. We had our normal choice of rides last night.  Tom Hotaling lead his group of experienced folks on a 24 mile loop that had some serious hills.  Mike Lyon had a group i ...Continue Reading

As far as I know, nobody has stepped up and volunteered to lead Thursday evening's Slow and Easy ride. Brenda and I are committed to another activity (demanding Brenda appear in a dress!) so we cannot be there. Also, the parking lot adjacent to the fire station will be crowded because of a pet immunization activity. If somebody steps up by tomorrow evening, the ride could start at the school parking lot about a half mile north of where we usually begin. If YOU decide to lead it, please post on the listserve.

The weather gods graced us again with another nice night for a Time Trial !!   Not perfect, but decent.  We had a 5-6 mph breeze from the unusual direction of East-SouthEast.   The times seemed to be pretty fast.  Hard to tell if it was due to the change in wind direction or if everyone is simply getting fitter.    We all hope for the later.   We had 13 TTers roll to the line last night.  That eclipsed our TT East best attendance by one (Our 2016 best is the 19 that showed u ...Continue Reading

Five energetic people dicieded to ride the very hilly ride called Shut Up Legs. We had clould mist for the first two hills and then it dried up and was clouldy for the rest of the ride which was appreciated because it was cooler for the climbs. There were no problems except my riding partners had to wait for me at the top of hills which I appreciated.  I would have had to ride alone. Thanks guys for keeping me company for the ride. We even had a biker see us climbing at the start of the ride and decided to ride wit ...Continue Reading
