Question of the week: Live to ride, or ride to live?  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 that close off the ear, because they can make it more difficult to hear approaching cars and pedestrians.  
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
