Hello SYVCC. We hope everyone has been able to get out and ride in the amazing weather the last week. I saw lot’s of club kits riding around the valley on the weekend. We had great participation last week on all 3 rides. If you have never tried one of the club rides, come out and give one a try. It’s a great way to get ready for our club TT series that will start up in May, and meet other local cyclists and club members. The WNR started back up last week, and we had 14 which was a good start to the ride this year. See below for current club rides. Weekly RidesCLUB RIDES (Standard Rules Apply: helmets required, no head phones in the group, obey all traffic laws) – These rides are not for our members only, so if you have friends and family in town, invite them out on one of the rides, all are welcome!
