Question of the week:  Did you get your legs back yet?  After this unusually long winter, I feel like I have finally got my riding legs back.  It took me a while longer than I expected, but now I’m not getting dropped like a hot rock.  For me it was all a matter of putting in the miles.  Some will say there are good and bad miles.  Maybe for the elite, but I need the time in the seat to remind my legs of the work they need to do, and opening up the lungs.  It’s not always easy to stay motivated, but worth the commitment to keep in cycling shape. 

Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch Out at Intersections-When approaching intersections requiring vehicles to yield or stop the lead rider will say “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind to the change in speed.  Do not call out “clear”.  Each cyclist is responsible for verifying that the way is clear before entering the intersection.  Signal well and make eye contact with drivers before making a turn or slowing down.
