The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
Al has our offical club business cards with our website address and riding suggestions. They look great! Be sure to pick some up to carry with you and hand out to people interested in cycling.
Please be sure to carry identification when you ride. Our club Smart ID tags are a great way to have your name and emergency numbers with you. You can purchase extra Smart IDs for $2 each.

Paceline Tips
Communicate- Call out hazards and conditions (slowing, turning, car, dog)
Be Predicatable- the riders behind you are counting on you to maintain a predicatable line.
Protect your front wheel- you do not want to overlap or touch wheels.
Change positions correctly- signal when pulling off the front and keep steady pressure on the pedals until you have cleared the front. After pulling off, soft pedal and let the group pull through. As the last couple of riders pass through, begin to apply more pressure to smoothly take your postion.
No areobars in the paceline.
