"Enjoying The Ride" - The Boulder Cycling Club Newsletter 2010 Issue No. 25
Notes from the Prez:

RIDE TIMES: 
The weekday ride schedule will change starting in October to leaving at 5:15 pm due to shorter day light in the evening. Please be prompt and ready to go by 5:15 so we can take advantage of good weather before things start turning cold and daylight fads.

Remember we will be rolling out our mid day noontime NCAR repeats ride once we discontinue the weekday after work rides this fall. Saturday morning ride continues throughout  the fall and winter months organized by our Friends at Bicycle Village. If the weather is bad, wet or really cold remember Bicycle Village sponsors a free Spin class at the YMCA  next door taught by George an excellent instructor (in that case meet at Bicycle Village at 10:30 am).

CARDS ARE IN: Discount cards are in and can be picked up at the cash register at Bicycle Village. Just bring in a copy of your receipt of payment to club from PayPal  that you used when you paid online as proof and get your card! They still offer us great discounts so get over there and take advantage of them!
 
Keep Riding!

Bacarco Ride to Ward.


Join Bacaro Venetian Taverna on Saturday,  October 2nd,  donations will be acccepted to benefit  Phoenix Multisport. The plan is to leave Bacaro (921 Pearl) around 9 and to head up to Ward, over to the peak to peak and back into Boulder through Lyons. The weather should be perfect and the crew should be prettl large, last year they had 60 riders show up for this event. End back at Bacaro for a lunch ( $25 charge for lunch)


This is a pretty serious ride and while we will have A and B groups this is probably not the day for you to learn how to clip in or shift gears.


Meet at Bacaro at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and riding at 9.a.m.
