We ride every Saturday. I'll post the ride here each week and anyone can come along. Every week, we are going to ride somewhere. I'll take suggestions, but each ride will be posted and decided upon by Friday.
Rides will meet at 9:45, and depart at 10:00am. I am going to keep the rides between 25 to 30 miles for now. At 15mph, we should be getting back home around 12:30.
There is only one starting place. I'm not going to pick up from you mom's, sisters, uncles, from some corner on Ocean Avenue, from your tennis game, from shul, etc.. No bullshit. You wanna be a rider, get your ass to the start and don't cry about it. Start location will be announced each week.
Here are some rules and suggestions:
Helmets. Bring your own and wear it. The wives want us to wear them, and we don't need to upset the wives any further.
Water. Bring enough. If you have two bottle cages on your bike, get two real water bottles. Little Poland Spring bottles just fall out of the bottle cages and cause accidents.
Pump. Keep your tires inflated to 100psi. If you have a pump at home, pump up before you get to the start. Tire lose air, so check them once a week.
Balls. Everybody should get some bike shorts. Your balls are precious, and unless your wife keeps them in a box for you, you need protection on the road. Buy some shorts and your balls will thank you.
Keep up. We go slow, 15mph, so everyone can keep up. We will wait for mostly everyone at major intersections. If you do get dropped, you have to find your way home.
Thanks, and I'll post this week's ride soon!
