Question of the week: Can you ride your bike without electronics?
This is a challenge for everyone. One day this week, go out on a ride and don’t turn on your cycling computer. No power meter, cadence, speed or Strava. Go out and ride by feel. If you feel great that day, push yourself. If your legs feel like lead, stroll around. Enjoy your ride. Appreciate the fact you are blessed to have the time and physical ability to ride. Every ride should not be about chasing a PR.
At the end of your ride make a manual entry on Strava. Distance 1 mile, elevation 1 foot, duration 1 minute. Title the ride “old Skool”. Cvc members will know what you did and others will ask what it means.
*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.
