Greetings, everyone!
I'm just back from a work trip to Pensacola, Florida (it was a tough assignment, but someone had to do it!). It was beautifully sunny the three days I was there, and the beach was beautiful! What I lacked was a bike, and the only place that would rent a road bike was charging $70/day! Needless to say, I decided running was the cheaper option. So thankful that I'm back here in beautiful Pennsylvania where I can ride MY bike, and where you CAN rent a bike for much more palatable prices! Kudos to our local bicycle shops!
If you have not as yet signed up to become a member of State College Cycling, take a moment to do so. Go to the State College Cycling brand new web site and check it out:
Also, to speed things up this year, we have an online sign-in form which you can use anytime to sign-in for the Tuesday ride, Thursday slow and easy and any special rides. Just go to
Cue sheets are also posted on the site through the end of May. http://www.
Weather too! http://www.
Then, after you've poked around, here's the link to where you can sign up:
You can choose several options to pay - whichever is easiest for you!
Now that you've taken care of that little detail, I will make a personal appeal to all of you to become a ride coordinator! I'll make it as plain and simple as I can: WE. NEED. YOU! Your willingness to volunteer to lead a ride of any level from time to time makes my life much better! And I appreciate the differences you all bring to the table in the variety of ways you lead! Our next ride coordinator training session is coming up the last weekend of the month. If you wish to become a ride coordinator, e-mail Kurt Deutsch (e-mail) or myself (jelsrr124@comcast.net). We look forward to hearing from you!
A couple of dates to keep in mind: Saturday, June 24 looks to be the CVIM ride. As of the last notes I've heard, there will not be a century option this year, but that is subject to change. More details in the coming weeks. Also, Sunday, September 10 will be the date of our annual club century, with shorter options available! If you wish to train for this ride, especially if you've never ridden a century, we'll be hosting a series of century training rides through the summer to get you ready! Stay tuned for more details!
Lastly, we are looking to expand our rides! A number of you have expressed a desire to have more weekend rides. An effort is underway to start hosting these, probably on Saturdays, in May. More than likely, these will start at 8 or no later than 9, so that you can get a good, fun ride in and still have half of the day or more to do other things! And I'm hoping to start some Monday evening rides for CC and B level riders specifically, especially if I can solicit the help of one or two of you to make this work! Please drop me a line if you're interested!
This weeks' ride: Fairbrook Park at 5:30!
