Dalmac!

New rides on Thursday night! Craig Hayward has voluteered to lead rides at 6:30 pm on Thursday nights from Spring Arbor starting in front of the Fieldhouse. One will be an on road ride for 20-30 miles at a C pace and the other will be a D pace where they will end up riding to the trail and lasting for approximately one to one and half hours. If you live on the West side of the county and were looking for another ride, here's your chance! Thanks again Craig for leading these!

There have been a couple of changes to the calendar from previous months:
1) Wednesday rides are perfect Dal-mac preparation ride!

2) John's pick for August, is of course the Minard Mill Bicycle Tour and Wienie Roast. Per John:
"Well Ruth and I never get to ride this ride because we are always at Minard Mills making sure everyone has enough water, food and music. Yes, for the last couple of years we have been lucky enough to have the French quarter band play at the rest stop. With the pavilion added it makes for a great time, so be sure to sign up! We'll be there rain or shine!"

3) Scott Vogel's Ella Sharp Park Mountain Bike Rides have changed back to Monday for July and August.

4) Once again there will be a fixed gear Friday for August 22nd that John will be leading. This is the same night as cruise night downtown, so wear casual clothes as we'll be riding around town, checking out the cars and entertainment! This will be starting at 7pm from the Nomad Bookhouse downtown.

5) Don't forget about the NEW RIDE! Eric and Bob have volunteered to lead another ride on Monday night. This will be from Polly's on the corner of Ferguson and Horton. This is a C Ride and will be similar to the one that Ruth lead ( adn Eric helped out a lot with route choices) last year. We should have the whole county covered on Monday nights! Eric will be the main contact, but on days he can't make it, Bob will be the backup leader. Thanks Eric and Bob!!!
