Question of the week: Why should I core? Core work is important for everyone in all sports. As cyclists we think about our legs often. We feel the pain in our legs while climbing, and the next day after a particularly hard effort. The heart gets attention while we are bent over the bars trying to catch our breath. How often do you think about your core? Core strength will help riding strength, and comfort while on the bike. Pick at least one day a week to incorporate these exercises into your routing and watch the results speak for themselves.

Safety Tip of the Week:  Move Off the Road When You Stop-Whether you are stopping because of mechanical problems or to regroup with your pals, move well off the road so you don’t interfere with traffic. It is usually best for the lead rider to pull forward in the stopping area and for other riders to pull in behind the rider in front of them. When you start up again, each cyclist should look for, and yield to, traffic.

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
· always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions
· we are a "rules of the road" cycling club
· 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
