Hello CVC, HERE IS THE RIDE SCHEDULE FOR THISWEEK. Please view and download / print yourroute. Pub rides are scheduled on Wednesdayswith a rolling time of 5:30PM. Sheri has and continues to send outannouncements with information for sign up. The Flat Truth You don’t need strong hands to changea flat without levers; it’s all about proper technique. Nylon tire levers arebetter than metal ones. If you don’t remove the instigator—thorn, glass, stone,metal shaving—from the inside of your tire, or look for a tear in your tire’ssidewall, you will flat again. And again. Perfect the art of changing a flat.No excuses. Brake Pads Three signs your brake pads are worn:You hear a gritty scraping sound, the grooves in the pad have all butdisappeared, or you feel stickiness when you brake. Don’t touch disc-brake padswith your fingers. The oil from your skin can decrease their braking power. Bike Mechanic If you’re not handy with bike repairor maintenance find a good mechanic.
