Remember ride leaders phone numbers are a courtesy. They may not be able to hear the phone through heavy breathing and a sweaty jersey. All riders are expected to know the day's route. Alert your ride leader if you are going to "take it slow", or alter your route. Saturday September 29th @8:30 am Ride Leader Route Miles Climb (ft.)

Just a guy who likes to ride his bike, and sometimes enter the “pain cave”. I have a personality defect in that I do not remember names. Don’t take it personally. Yes I have met you. Yes I know you, I just don’t remember your name. I like to joke around and have a good time. I’m a little dry and very sarcastic. I have been known at times to offend people. If I offend you, please know I did not mean to. If you have any suggestions or requests, please let me know. I will always listen. I do believe there are stupid questions; but I have been known to be stupid myself, so ask it anyway. Hodoose@gmail.com *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 · 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
