SO come meet some new ladies at the Tweet Party and come bike, as i have said, if I can do this, ANYONE can

I have encountered every bad thing you can encounter and I am still ticking and still biking.

Set a goal to get yourself biking

I have found the best way to do regular biking is to set a goal and there is no better way to do than to sign up for one of the great sponsored rides in our area.

Without this type of goal, little excuses creep into your desire to bike and next thing you know it is July and you are still NOT biking.

Here is a great list of coming up area rides

May 31 Chester County Cancer Challenge

http://www.lancasterfarmlandtrust.org/ways_help/pedal.html June 6, so far ellen, cassandra and eileen and ron are going, let's get some more chicks

French Creek Iron Tour June 14, Ellen and libby and cassandra are doing this ride

River to River Heritage Bicycle Tour July 25

I am sure there are other rides available, the point being

GET OUT and RIDE, plan to attend an event and start riding to get ready for it,

providing the RAIN stops sometime soon

see you all Saturday morning at 830 at Hot Foot if it is not raining

32 miles, will split into groups if we have various levels in attendance.

SO YOU HAVE no excuses

French Creek Iron Tour

French Creek Iron Tour site is up and running, register NOW. If you register early, you get a discount and a free T shirt.

Bike Jerseys will be able to be ordered but that web feature is not yet up and running at the French Creek Iron Tour site.

I am registered for the 50 miles. I did this ride last year with Elaine and Laura and it was a sensational ride. It was a little hilly but we took our time and did fine. There are nice rest stops along the way and they have police at busy intersections.

Make sure to have plenty of your own bike food and bike tire changing stuff with you. 2 spare tubes. I carry C02 and I have a good pump, so you just need to make sure you have tubes and FOOD and DRINK with you. We refill bottles etc at the rest stops.

Come on out. Would love to have a big group of chicks do this ride. Trust me, the scenery is worth it.

Upcoming rides

Saturday morning rides are now up and running. Check blog and or the WCCC ride page for current Saturday morning ride information.
