Riders are encouraged to park in Beaver Glen subdivision, near Power Dam Rd. If members wish to come out and just observe or come out and use the opportunity to have an enjoyable ride, the more the merrier.
Come on out and have a blast!!!
Here is this week's Schedule:
Tuesday, July 26th, 6:00 p.m. Frank Clark's School of Pedalology: Class #9
Location: St. Andrews parking lot.
There will be an emphasis on pack riding instructions for beginners. Primarily, one up pace lines, echelons, and how to sit on when you need a rest and communicate that. It is one of Frank's intentions to get someone in the beginner group to get them learning to work together and to know what they are doing and what others around them are going to do. Getting every one on the same page would put to rest some of the fears people are have about pack riding.
The more people, the better for every one's cycling.
