CVC RIDE PREVIEW September 27-October 3
Saddle Saturdays! The bike seat co-op is growing. We have some used saddles in great shape if you're looking for something that may be more comfortable for you. Or use as a loaner to find a model you like, and then buy new. Lots of options!
If you are like me, and have a few saddles that didn't work and are stuck with, bring them in and see if we can't find a good home for them.
-THE RIDES- While in a group and riding in the bike lane solo, the cyclist must use the middle portion of the lane, not the white line separating the bike lane and traffic. This makes it safer for a cyclist to pass without endangering themselves by going into traffic or passing on the right which can endanger both riders.

** This is considered a "no drop" ride. The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind.
All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together.
If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader.
It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well.
That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
