Notes from the Prez:

Hi Everybody,
 
It was great to see so many members ride in the Buff Classic last weekend. I completed my first "Century" and if  your interested in my own detailed explanation of the ride. Thanks to everyone that came out and worked at the booth we had at the finish area. It was great to see so many familiar faces and members sharing the experiences of the ride and just hanging out and having fun! A year ago I never dreamed I'd be able to ride 100 miles but I did it and hopefully the club has helped others to fulfill their own goals and aspirations!
 
With the shortened day length we will now start leaving at 5:15 pm for the Tuesday and Thursday rides. Check the calendar on the website for more details and changes in the Sunday ride which will be lead by Blade is scheduled for Sunday September 27. Click here for details.
 
Speaking of Blade we'd like to thank him for accepting the volunteer role as Safety and Ride leader Coordinator. Blade has shown exceptional leadership skills in his role as a ride leader throughout the year and now that the club is growing he will help coordinate our efforts at creating safer and more organized rides in the future. Thanks a million Blade for stepping up and volunteering. It's the volunteers that have help us grow, evolve and improve over the years!
 
Another volunteer, Jim Miers, our Director of Cycling Advocacy, has been working diligently behind the scenes on local cycling oriented advocacy issues and will be reporting via the website and this newsletter as things progress and develop. Please note the upcoming training program detailed by Jim below. Feel free to contact him if your interested in this program or would like to become involved in the club's efforts to help advocated for the cycling community in the Boulder area.

As the outdoor evening season starts to wind down we will be introducing a noontime ride (NCAR Repeats) in the coming season. Watch the calendar and this newsletter for more information on that ride in the coming months. In the meantime lets make the most of this great Fall weather and get out there and ride!
 
RIDE ON!

CYCLING ADVOCACY TRAINING


A cycling advocacy training entitled "Winning Campaigns Training"  is coming to Denver next month.  It is offered by the Alliance for Biking and Walking and supported by Bicycle Colorado.  Anyone interested in attending or helping with our cycling advocacy effort in any way should contact Jim Miers at 303-499-9155 or [email protected].  Info about the training is here .

The Alliance has a proven curriculum on choosing, directing, and winning campaigns to enhance  cycling in communities.   This is a great opportunity, which may not come to Denver again for years.  The training is Friday 10/2 through Sunday 10/4.  Early registration needs to be in by September 20.  The club may be able to help with registration fees.
