SPRING TIPS
As we emerge from our winter hibernation (someday it will warm up) we must remember some basic things we have learned over the years.
  • Keep knees covered unless the temp is above 65 degrees
  • Gradually build your miles up  develop that base of miles before the first big ride
  • Make sure you have thoroughly gone over your bicycle and it is in working order before you head out
  • If your ride late in the afternoon or evening take along a safety blinky light in case it gets dark before you get home
  • Don't forget your smile - any day I can ride is a good day!
