Welcome
back,
We are delighted to post our new
schedule, with thanks once again to those who have agreed to plan our
rides. All Tuesday Night Rides leave
promptly at 5:30 p.m., so you should plan to arrive a few minutes early in
order to receive a map and be greeted by the ride leader. Please bring a friend and introduce them to
the other riders.
Riders can again choose to be in the
“A” group (the "hammerheads") in a pace line, which averages about 18
miles an hour, or with me in the “B” group, which chats along the way at a
relaxed 12 to 14 miles an hour. If
it is pouring rain, the ride will be cancelled.
If the weather
is questionable, the ride planner will call the West Hill Shop to let them know
whether their ride will be taking place.
Although we made progress last year,
please remember to "ride right" in a single file on the right hand
side of the road, to the right of the white line. Please remember to dress in bright colors to
increase the chance that you will be seen by motorists, especially at dusk.
We are pleased that Bob Immler has
agreed to be our new secretary and webmaster.
Last year Bob developed a Facebook page for the Putney Bicycle Club,
which has been really popular. We now
have 121 members. It may be found at: http://www.facebook.com/groups/PutneyBicycleClub/
If you would like to invite others to join you
on a ride, publicize an event, or post cycling pictures for others to enjoy,
please use our Facebook page.
Please join or renew your membership
in the Putney Bicycle Club by sending your dues to Pam Matweecha at 15 Bullock
Street, Brattleboro, VT 05301. Your dues enable us to promote cycling. Dues this year will continue to be $10 for
individuals and $20 for families. Putney
Bicycle Club members receive a 10% discount on cycling tops and bottoms, tires
and tubes at the West Hill Shop. A
portion of your dues will be used to help pay for a barbeque dinner following
our last ride this summer at the West Hill Shop on August 28th.
This is your club. We welcome your suggestions, and look forward
to seeing you on our rides.
