First Ride of the 2009 Season!

Hi Women Bikers,

The time has finally arrived for our first official ride of the season on Tuesday, April 21st! The weather looks to be showers for Tuesday, but hopefully this will change in the next 3 days! Both the A and B rides leave the Saco shop of Gorham Bike and Fitness at 6pm. Please be ready to roll at 6pm. The shop closes at 6pm, so arrive early if you need services at the shop, or to use their bathroom.

Gorham Bike & Fitness is located on Main St. in Saco. Please park on Cutts Ave next to the shop. There is a parking lot behind the town hall to be used for parking as well.

I rode the B route last week and the pavement is pretty chopped up in sections going down to Camp Ellis. We will keep the roads of this route, but will ride them in a different order so we have better pavement. This will include - Beach Street, Old Orchard Street, Saco Ave, Portland Ave, Ross Road, Pine Point Rd, East Grand, West Grand, Bayview, Beach Street. Just a reminder - we will come to a complete stop at all stop signs and traffic lights for increased safety. The A ride route varies week to week and will be discussed the night of the ride.

We will plan to take a group picture Tuesday night as well. Look forward to riding with you! If the weather is very rainy, we will postpone our ride until the following week.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Happy Riding,

Shannon
p.s. Thanks everyone who showed up last week for our info night and tire changing clinic - we had 15 women in attendance!
