After our rough winter, the roadways are pock-marked with POTHOLES. Word to the Wise: Look for NEW potholes even on the roads you are accustomed to riding. Here’s how I learned to safety avoid them while riding alone or in a group.
Keep Calm
How many times have you wished you could take it back?
- The time you yelled at a car only to discover that you knew the driver. Blush
- That moment when you were so annoyed you made a gesture toward some good ole boys that got “too close for comfort,” only to run into them at your proposed rest stop. Yikes
- Fluffy, is at it again chasing after you like there is no tomorrow. You threaten to spray her in the face if she keeps this up. This time the owner is on the porch and overhears your intentions for her baby. Ouch
Sometimes you just want to put your head down and ride into the sunset.
Yep, the car should have not followed you so close while you were going up the hill only to pass you at the top, and the pickup should have waited to pass and the dog owner should have kept their beloved pet under control and out of harms way, but we should keep our cool too.
Time Marches On
2015 has arrived! With the start of a brand new year, we hope you are well, happy and enjoying time on your bike. Some cyclists may be dreaming of getting to try out the new gizmo they got from Santa while others may be dreaming of reaching their goal of logging miles or dreaming of improved health and wellness due to riding their bike. No matter your dreams for 2015, we hope you will join us for as many rides and other events as possible this coming year.
Here are few things that will be happening soon:
Cycling Clothing Order-we have gone from a simple jersey order to offering all kinds of cycling clothing. Please check out the shopping cart on the website to see the cool kits and order yourself something special for 2015. The cart will be open from January 1 to January 15, 2015.
