CVC RIDE PREVIEW February 7-February 12 -COMING UP- CVC-Roundtrip Cycling Clinic February 21 & 28 (Rain date) Yes, we've been riding bikes since we were kids. It's easy. You hop on and pedal. What more is there to it? How about getting comfortable riding shoulder to shoulder and bumping into each other? Or how to stop on a dime? Look behind you and stay in a straight line? Or, everyone's favorite....riding in a paceline? These are just a few of the skills that the CVC/Roundtrip Cycling Clinic teaches. You will finish the morning with more confidence as a cyclist, whether riding solo or in a group. You'll be able to handle those emergency situations with more skill. Whether you've been riding for a few years or decades, there's always something new to learn. Contact me for details.

All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
