This weeks theme is "Off to the Races!"
Since the start of the 99th Tour de France is on Saturday, we plan on busting out the spandex, because it's a "right, not a privilege." We want you to dress like you're in a bicycle race, or like one of the characters that cheer racers on, like The Devil. Jersey colors that are given out throughout The Tour are yellow, green, white, & a red polka dot.
We are meeting up at Squeal BBQ at 7pm, where we'll eat, drink and hang for a bit, then take it to the streets of "The Metry & Old Jefferson." Squeal BBQ is located at 8400 Oak Street. Need Directions? Once again, this will not be a race. We're going out for a leisurely ride where you are responsible for yourself.
We want to welcome all of our new riders that have joined us! Here are some tips to make your ride safer, and more fun:
- Please get lights, front and rear! (an aside - "They are fun!") They also keep you safe and they are the law!
- Please stay to the right, be it a 1, 2, or 5 lane street. You never know when a car will make a quick turn, and we want to be safe & respectful.
- Please pass the word backwards and forwards, as riders will shout warnings whether it be "stop, pothole, glass, car back, walker up, slow down, flat tire, etc" Also speak up if you see anything!
- Know your bicycle, your limits, and be aware of the people and objects around you. Everyone rides at their own risk.
- Get the phone number of a regular rider, in case you are running late, fall behind, or get lost!
- Please keep up with the group, and help keep everyone together!
- If you need assistance, flag down on of our Ride Rangers.
As always;
- We put safety first
- We respect all drivers, no matter what they drive
- We obey all laws
- We leave NO TRACE!
- Costumes are optional, but encouraged!
Please;
- Bring a friend or two or three
- Bring something to share
- Bring a spare tube, some tools, and a pump
Don't Forget to
- Tighten your nuts
- Lube your chain
- Inflate your tires
Have a Happy Thursday, Everyday!
LESS GEARS = MORE CHEERS!
