SAFE CYCLING TIP OF THE WEEK: In a group riding two by two, and you are riding the outside line with nobody to the right, do the folks behind you a solid and slide over towards the gutter. If someone wants to pass you, they then don't have to endanger themselves by riding outside of the bike lane. It's always a good habit to get into "riding the gutter" even when going solo. There will always be someone jamming along behind you at some point, and they'll appreciate not having to check over their shoulder for traffic and yell, "On your left!". RACE TEAM NEWS Mitch Albo, Race Team Director reports: "I’m excited to announce the CVC team online store is now open for business! Please get the word out! The prices have a few dollars built into them to help raise money for the team/club. Let's get the whole club sport'n the t's! :) " We agree, get some Race Team merchandise, if you're like me, you can never have enough T-shirts. Here's the link: https://store.jlracing.com/store.jsp?ID=1HFD0EIH8J84G6823529JA5ME33KJMK6KHJK... That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
