Our Group Rides
Unless otherwise indicated, all rides will leave from the ride
meeting place at the scheduled time.
As a courtesy to all members, it is important to be ready to
leave at the departure time.
All bikes should be fueled and bladders emptied ahead of time.
We plan a variety of rides. Time and money might make it hard to
make all events. We hope this variety will give you an opportunity
to pick and choose, and at least enjoy some of them.
The danger for children today, honey, is the news. Keep them away from news on television and you're going to have very, very fine, natural children.

Safety Tips
Myth: Loud Pipes Save Lives
Yeah, there are a few situations—like where you are right next to a driver with his window down who is about the to change lanes—where full-time noise-makers might help a driver notice you, but all that noise directed rearward doesn't do much in the most common and much more dangerous conflict where a car turns in front of you. Maybe it's the fatigue caused by the noise, maybe it's the attitudes of riders who insist on making annoying noise, or perhaps loud bikes annoy enough drivers to make them aggressive. Whatever the reason, the research shows that bikes with modified exhaust systems crash more frequently than those with stock pipes. If you really want to save lives, turn to a loud jacket or a bright helmet color, which have been proven to do the job. Or install a louder horn. Otherwise, just shut up.
