If you lost weight, you are an alien. If you stayed the same weight, you’re no friend of mine. Me, I went up 6 lbs. I usually put on twice that or more, so I am pretty stoked about that. It’s time to be honest with ourselves and lay claim to what the gluttony left behind. Take your time and correct your course to get yourself back into the fitness you deserve. Safety Tip of the Week: Don't drink and ride. Might as well start off the safety tips with an obvious one. Riding while impaired increases your chances of not having a good ride. 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 -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200
