April 20 Rides With the race team starting this Wednesday I plan to get the casual MTB rides started on Thursday 23 April 2009. We will leave from the United Cycle Store at 6:30 PM. It may be cold so dress warm. I encourage all club members and potential ride leaders to attend this one. It is slower paced than Wed and meant to encourage new riders to improve their skills. The Saturday Morning casual ride will start on Saturday the 25 th of April. This is a casual ride with what ever bike they wish to bring. Darrell will lead a slow paced ride in the river valley. This is a ride for those looking to get out on the bike socialized and get some miles in for events like the MS or Ride for Cancer bike tours.
