Question of the week: Did you get your legs back yet? After this unusually long winter, I feel like I have finally got my riding legs back. It took me a while longer than I expected, but now I’m not getting dropped like a hot rock. For me it was all a matter of putting in the miles. Some will say there are good and bad miles. Maybe for the elite, but I need the time in the seat to remind my legs of the work they need to do, and opening up the lungs. It’s not always easy to stay motivated, but worth the commitment to keep in cycling shape.
Safety Tip of the Week: Watch Out at Intersections-When approaching intersections requiring vehicles to yield or stop the lead rider will say “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind to the change in speed. Do not call out “clear”. Each cyclist is responsible for verifying that the way is clear before entering the intersection. Signal well and make eye contact with drivers before making a turn or slowing down.
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 |
