Please print, sign and bring with you the attached liability waiver if you are riding with our group for the first time.

RSVP by Saturday, 4:00 p.m. with your route choice if you want to be put in a riding group. This is done to ensure everyone rides with someone at their pace and doesn’t get dropped.

With 20-25 riders attending, it has become too chaotic trying to handle unexpected riders a few minutes before the ride starts and me trying to welcome new riders and get myself ready to ride. If you don’t RSVP so we can plan ahead, you will need to view the list (headcount posted Saturday after 4:00) and arrive early to find those folks and add yourself to their group.

When: Sunday, 06/03/07, 8:00 a.m.

Where:

Cycling Spoken Here (http://cyclingspokenhere.com/)
1377 NW Maynard
Cary, NC 27513

Across from Atlantic Tire and the Shell station. Next to Volvo dealer. Park along corridor by the shop.

Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1377+NW+Maynard,+cary,+nc+27513&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=35.790874,-78.809953&spn=0.015247,0.042915&om=1&iwloc=A)

Distance:

Me, Charley and Sandy will lead the short routes. Charley will lead the third Sunday each month. Sandy will help out when she can. A short route will be offered on the fourth Sunday if someone volunteers to lead. I plan to ride the 50-mile route this week.

20 miles (Sandy, leading behind the slowest rider)
30 miles
50 miles
62 miles (new route added, cue sheet will be posted by Saturday)

Cue Sheets (http://www.trianglecycling.com/showthread.php?t=18164) – CSH Route 2, Frosty Routes (Please print)

Pace:
10-12 mph beginners (follows strict no drop policy)
13-18 mph (riders wait at turns for others to catch up)

There are several subgroups for ride paces and distances. Please watch out for others in your subgroup so no one gets dropped.

All riding groups will stay together until the designated breakaway point then you can break away into your subgroups.

Contact Person: Zonda. Send me an email or private message (http://www.trianglecycling.com/member.php?u=42) through this site if you have any questions.

Comments:

RSVP requested to help plan riding groups. RSVP by replying to ride announcement thread.
Please arrive in time to prepare your bike to leave promptly at the ride start time listed.
Beginners are welcome to join this ride.
New riders should read Bicycling Hand Signals and Safety Pointers (http://www.trianglecycling.com/showthread.php?t=17385)
First time riders with this group should fill out the attached liability waiver and bring it to the ride. NCBC’s insurance company requires one on file each year for each cyclist.
All riders should carry proper equipment in case they have a flat (spare tube, pump or CO2 cartridge). Helmets required.
It is strongly recommended that you carry your driver’s license and health insurance card (or a photo copy) in case of an emergency. You may also want to program your cell phone with an emergency contact number under the name “ICE” In Case of Emergency.

Brian and I will be there Sunday morning. I would love to do 50, but I have to leave for Greenville that afternoon so it looks like probably 30 for me unless I miraculously get everything packed on Saturday. Brian can do longer if some of the faster people are riding, otherwise he'll probably stick with me again.

Zonda,

Put me down for a "maybe" on the 30mi route. It will be at a recovery pace (16+/-) for me, as the knee feels great so I may drope the hamer on Saturday :)

Put me down as a "probably" for the 30. Kayley has a class picnic and a dance recital Sunday afternoon :eek: I may bail-out if things get too chaotic on Sunday morning, but I really want to get a ride in so I'll try my best to be there. If only I could clone myself and be in two places at once :rolleyes:

Zonda, I'd like to do the 50 or the 30 at 13-14mph pace. If those routes are above a 14, I'll ride with Sandy...at what ever pace she's riding.

Thanks!!

Just watched the WRAL weather. Greg is calling for wind and rain in the triangle tomorrow. I'll be working out INSIDE I think...

FenderFreek

WRAL is predicting bad weather and weather.com is no better, so I'm going to bail on this one, I think.

Dasa

IS the rain bad ... it is lightning and sprinkling in Apex now .. will this continue until 8 AM and beyond?

Cheers

Well, my two pugs just decided that it's too rainy here in Durham to go out and do any business. They're both back in bed, clearly wondering why the big idiot isn't doing the same.

Zonda

It's still raining at my house. Looks like we will have to cancel the ride.:(

Sorry for the rain, was looking forward to riding. While here is Raliegh, I enjoyed riding with Slow Spokes - the cycling community is very well organized here. I hope to return next year. Thanks for the enjoyment on wheels.
