Hi Everyone,
This Saturday's group ride meet at our normal place and then join the Sacramento Wheelmen for a ride up Salmon Falls to Lotus (shorter ride) and then for those interested, continuing to Georgetown (longer ride). This is a Spectacular Ride and we should have as many as 20-50 riders. There should be a wide range of rider levels and this ride is suited for strong beginners through advanced riders. Our great support team will meet riders at a rest-stop about half-way up with food and drinks for all. This is a great ride to challenge yourself on and I will personally stay back with the slower members that want to take their pace.
Please note that due to the lack of sunlight in the mornings, we are *MOVING ALL MEETING TIMES BACK 30 minutes* (yes, that means 30 minutes of extra sleep ;) starting this Saturday, October 9th. That means we meet at 7:30 and depart at 7:45. Also, rain will cancel all rides going forward.
Finally, please note some of the great upcoming rides we have for the balance of this month. On the 16th, is an opportunity to do a 100K or 100 Mile ride on the flats out to Woodland, and the last weekend is a "Scary Hill Challenge" ride that should prove challenging for everyone.
Please invite anyone you would like to these rides and remember our ride schedule is now at: www.onlinecycling.com
I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!
