Announcing the updated schedule and a new mission for the Monday Night Ladies Rides!
The Monday night ladies ride format has changed slightly to accommodate a greater number of riders. While still a “no drop” ride for just the girls, our goal will be to complete the 15 miles in a little over an hour. Our focus is to aid women who might be considering their first group ride, triathlon, road race or those who just want to push themselves a bit further. Come join us and learn the basics of group riding in a very non-competitive, supportive environment. Of course, more experienced riders are always welcome to join us as well. All rides depart at 6 p.m.; routes will be approximately 15 miles in length and are somewhat hilly. After the ride, participants are invited to join us for socializing and drinks, held in a restaurant near the starting location.
Two rides will be held in two different locations each Monday from May 25th to August 31st.
1.) Baldwinsville: Shamballa Cafe, 34 Oswego St., Baldwinsville, NY (meet in the rear parking lot)
2.) Fayetteville: Fayetteville Towne Center, 100 Towne Drive, Fayetteville, NY (meet near the Rite-Aid between the YMCA and Kohls)

Sunday Ride
April
23
2009
Sunday’s ride begins from SkanA which is the parking lot on the east side of the Red Apple convenience store. The Red Apple is west of Skaneateles on Rt 20, west of Mirbeau, Rosalies and next door to the Cedar House/Hill Top.
This is a seldom ridden ride not ridden since maybe ‘02, R-H riding west and north of Skaneateles and Auburn.
The route is about 37 miles; I’ll try to add an option since the weather may be phenomenal. We can easily extend south towards Owasco Lake and then finish up on the west side Skaneateles lake for about 50 miles.

Earth Day
April

2009
Everyone
The club’s Earth Day clean-up is just around the corner. This year it’s on Saturday April 18th and we’ll start at 9:00 AM.
As always we’ll gather at the Jerome Fire Equipment Company on Caughdenoy Road in Clay. We’ll then work our way up and down both sides of the road we’ve adopted and use for our weekly time trials.
Gloves, safety vests and trash bags will be supplied for the cleanup effort. Courtesy of Wegman’s, Dunkin Donuts and the club, breakfast pizza, donuts, coffee and drink will be available for all.
Your efforts do make a difference. Over the last 8 years club members have picked-up over 23 dump truck loads of trash. Yes, an amazing amount of garbage.
If you’re joining us please send John Baker, jbaker01@twcny.rr.com an email so we can plan accordingly.
After the clean-up join us for the bike ride, which starts at 11:00 AM.
See you there.
