Here is the latest cycling news from PTBA:
Let's Ride to Lunch!: Join Phil Walkden on March 9th and 23rd for the "Let's Ride to Lunch". We will be riding about 25 miles before finishing up for lunch. Phil will be riding at a pace where he can talk to new friends. We will take it easy on the hills and keep the group together. The ride leader gets to choose the lunch spot! So meet at the coop at 9:20 and the ride leaves at 9:30 sharp! Rain cancels. Phil 385-5979
Hope to see you there and out on your bikes!
Save the date: Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 is the 18th Annual Rhody Tour. This is PTBA's only fundraiser. Last year's event was a ton of fun -- it will be even better in 2010. We need volunteers, join the fun. If you would like to volunteer to help with the Rhody Tour, either to help plan the event or to help staff on the day of the ride, contact ride co-chair Doug Ross - rhodytour@ptbikes.org or 360-821-1802.
HOOD CANAL BRIDGE SAFETY ALERT
We recommend that you approach the bridge slowly and carefully. When you leave the concrete approaches and get onto the grated bridge sections you are supposed to ride on the 3 foot wide steel plates which are right up against the railing. There is often debris so you should be prepared to stop if things don't look right. Use caution on all grated surfaces and at all bridge locations where the 8 foot concete shoulders are unavailable. Watch for slippery spots when wet, and for gaps in the grating. Dismount and walk your bike if you are uncertain about the surface.
The League of American Bicyclists has named Washington
as the #1 League of American Bicyclists Bicycle Friendly State.
Safe and happy cycling from your friends at PTBA.
"There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears."
