Tour of the Valleys Weather Update

It is raining now, but the weather tomorrow for the TOTV ride is promising: At the time of the start, the temperature will be in the high fifties or low sixties, so you may want to start in arm warmers and knee warmers. It will be partly cloudy all day, with only a 20% chance of rain -- it will rain late in the afternoon, but you will be napping with a full belly by then. There will be a 9 mph wind from the west, so we may have a tailwind as we ride from Grafton to Saxtons River. See y'all tomorrow.

TNR Gaps

There are still some gaps in the TNR schedule -- rides w/o leaders. Please look over the schedule here and let me know if you can lead a ride.

Oyez, Oyez, Weekly Mt. Bike Training Races Start on Wednesday, June 4th

The Putney Bicycle Club, through the efforts of John Buser and John Baker, will start weekly mountain bike training races at the race course at the Putney School Lower Farm, every Wednesday at 5:30, beginning on the 1st Wednesday in June -- June 4th. There will be category A, B, and C races -- self-selected. All mountain bike racers are welcome - you do not have to be a member of the PBC to race - but this series would not be possible without the generous volunteer effort of PBC club members. If you want your bicycle club to offer more events of this type, then you need to step up, pay your dues, and take an active part.
