Tuesday ride 9:00 am

Hi All, I was waiting for the latest update on the weather, but it still looks good for tomorrow! Rain does not come until about 5! Not much sun, but 0% rain in the morning. However, lots of rain in the forecast in the coming week, so let's go ride while we can! I liked the look of this route that Jerry made. Looks a little different but keeps us close to home. The only difference is that we will start at Starbucks and leave out the lake lap at the start. <goog_336878837> https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53432385 See you tomorrow at 9! -- Sheri

Hi All, Here is the route for Tuesday. Let's go out to Hidden Valley and then to my personal favorite, Satwiwa parking lot bathrooms. We can enjoy the green on the way down and back, and then back through Hidden Valley where you can't miss the turn off to the end of Hidden Valley Rd. (and see the horses) For a nice regroup, then back.It makes for a nice 30 mile ride. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53382418 See you at 9:00 at Starbucks. -- Sheri

Cornering and Descending Basics!
by Sheri L 28 Jan '26

28 Jan '26

Cornering and Descending Basics: Our club includes riders ranging from beginners to very experienced cyclists, and that mix is one of our strengths, but it also means safety depends on everyone riding predictably and within their abilities. Whether you’re still building confidence or have years of experience, reviewing the fundamentals helps keep the entire group safe. As speeds increase, especially on descents, small habits make a big difference in safety. A few reminders for cornering and descending: Cornering starts before the turn. Do your braking early and in a straight line, then release the brakes as you enter the corner. Braking while leaned over reduces traction and increases the risk of sliding. The bike turns best when you shift your weight, not when you force the handlebars into a turn. Look through the turn, drop your outside pedal, and apply pressure through that outside foot while keeping your inside knee relaxed. Let the bike lean underneath you rather than steering sharply. Stay smooth and predictable. Sudden movements, mid-corner braking, or swerving create problems for you and anyone behind you. When descending, speed should come from confidence and control, not from pedaling harder. As speeds increase, gradually build comfort riding in the drops, which is the safest and most stable hand position for descending. The drops lower your center of gravity, widen your grip on the bars, and give you maximum leverage and control over the brakes. This improves stability, reduces front-end twitchiness, and shortens reaction time if you need to slow suddenly. Keep elbows slightly bent, weight balanced, and your upper body relaxed while looking far down the road. If you’re not comfortable in the drops yet, practice on gentler descents and work up to steeper or faster ones. Confidence comes from repetition, not forcing it. Choose a clean, predictable line and never cross the double yellow. Assume there is oncoming traffic you can’t see. Hold your line through corners and avoid diving inside another rider. Call out “passing on the left” as you approach a slower cyclist. If you want to improve downhill skills, do it gradually: start on familiar roads, follow skilled riders at a safe distance, and focus on braking earlier, looking ahead, and staying relaxed. Always ride within your limits. There’s no prize for being first to the bottom, but there is a responsibility to get everyone there safely. -- Carla
