That’s sun tan lotion, and I highly recommend it for everyone. We are already embarrassing our kids and family by the tight and colorful lycra we are wearing; Dr’s recommend 30 or higher SPF and to re-apply every hour. This eliminates the stinging eyes for me. Apply liberally, don’t be afraid to go “kabuki” with the face. Speaking of the face, those of us with blue eyes can be sensitive to lotions, so I us Coppertone baby suntan lotion on my face. No more tears. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch for and Avoid Road Hazards-Be on the lookout for hazards such as potholes, broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves, and dogs. All these hazards can cause a crash. Always ride with at least one hand on the handlebars. Save the “look, Ma, no hands!” tricks for the driveway at home. Carry books and other items in a bicycle carrier or backpack.  In wet weather watch your speed as surfaces may be slippery and it will take you longer to stop. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride

Thanks Beth. Yes, I’ve been sending out weekly emails to CVC members about the Thursday Pub Ride. You should program your email so that it does not go into your spam folder.

I always feel like I have to ride to live. If I don’t get out and ride, my family thinks I have way too much energy. Apparently, it’s hard for the teens to sleep in on a weekend morning if I'm home and not out riding. But most of the time I am living to ride. I think about where I want to ride for the week, when I’m going to ride, and get disgruntled when work interferes with my riding. I need the work to fund my riding, but otherwise it’s a job and not a passion. “If biking is your passion, set aside time to enjoy a good ride”. Safety tip of the week: Put down the phone-This shouldn’t even need to be said, but talking on the phone, texting, or checking Instagram while biking endangers everyone. Also refrain from listening to headphones <http://www.slate.com/articles/life/a_fine_whine/2012/11/cycling_with_headph…> that close off the ear, because they can make it more difficult to hear approaching cars and pedestrians.

Absolutely! It may not improve your performance, but will smell better, look better, and last longer. The straps can break down faster if salt from sweat and other liquids get into the fabric. I wash mine once a week. After your ride bring it in the shower with you. Rinse it off then let it sit while you take care of the rest of your business. Then use shampoo on the straps and pads and rinse thoroughly. Let it sit and air dry in a warm place, but not in the direct sunlight. When you put it on for the next ride notice that clean fresh scent. Safety Tip of the Week: Be aware of vehicles-Many collisions occur when a cyclist is on the inside of a vehicle which is turning right. Don’t assume the vehicle is going straight ahead just because it isn’t signaling right. Always avoid ‘undertaking’ any vehicle in this situation – it’s better to hang back until the vehicle has moved past. Never cycle along the inside of large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, especially at intersections, where most accidents happen. When turning right, a truck will often pull out to the left first, creating a wide gap between the vehicle and the curb. Many cyclists think it’s safe to ride into this space, but this is a dangerous place to be as the gap quickly disappears when the truck swings around to the right. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride.
