********** ACHIEVE **********

In January, BIKES began a series of semi-monthly training rides.  The rides will progress from relatively flat 20 mile courses to more difficult somewhat hilly terrain and 40-50 mile distances.  

The series will culminate in a two-day weekend ride in a scenic location.  These rides are designed for riders who want to improve their endurance and cycling skills and increase their comfort level riding on the road. 

They'll also offer opportunity to meet other cyclists, try out some new eateries, and start preparing for all the great spring and summer cycling that the Northwest offers.  

Check the club ride listings for dates and mark your calendars!

Looking to ride your bike, but the rides that are listed are too slow or too fast or
know of a special bike route you would like to share?

Maybe you would like to lead a ride,
but are not sure about what is involved.

An experienced BIKES Club ride leader will ride with you on your ride and show you what is needed to lead a successful bike ride.  We are currently looking for members that want to lead a leisurely paced ride.  That’s right.  There are plenty of nice riding days this fall and winter.  It’s a great way to meet other people and talk over lunch.  Days and weekends are available! And it’s free!

Contact me tcjkwise@verizon.net to pair you up with a ride leader.
