Hi gals,
The SMCC Summer Solstice Ride and BBQ is ON for tomorrow night. You can review previous posts for more details. See you Tuesday at 6pm.
I also wanted to pass along some information about an upcoming ride that raises money for children's cancer research:
"Miles for Max"
www.milesformax.org
Max is 4 yrs old. He was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 18 months. This is a rare form of cancer that strikes at the central nervous system and the adrenal gland.
The ride is on Saturday, August 29th in Kennebunk with a BBQ lunch at the end. Riders can do 10, 20, or 40 miles. Registration is $25.00.
Thanks everyone!
Hope to see you all tomorrow night!

6/30 Ride and BBQ
Greetings my rainy day riders!
The forecast for weather does not look good - yet again! I'm thinking it may be time for me to move closer to the equator to find sun.
I will update Monday as we know more about the weather for Tuesday's ride and BBQ.

6/23 Ride
Greetings riders,
Tuesdays weather looks to be....what else? RAIN! If it's just drizzly, I think the men will probably still ride. I guess we need to decide if the A and B women riders want to ride in the rain or just hang out and socialize at the BBQ instead. Please post a comment so we can see what the consensus is.
Thanks!

6/16 Ride Update
Hi gals,
Today's weather is PERFECT! The womens A and B rides leave at 5:30pm tonight and plan to ride TOGETHER for a loop around Kennebunkport. Hope everyone has a FABULOUS ride! If you plan to ride with the men tonight - they leave at 6pm.
Happy riding,

p.s. Unfortunately, I am a little under the weather today so I will not be able to join you tonight, but take some PICTURES and I will post them to the blog. Stacey will be the B ride leader tonight if you have any questions.

6/16 Ride
The weather forecast for the next few days is "showers" but hopefully they'll move through the area quickly and we'll have clear skies and clear roads for our special ride Tuesday night. Here's a rundown of our rides Tuesday night...
Co-ed fastest group (20+ mph) meets at 6pm
Womens A and Womens B (usually meets at 6pm, too, but this week it's 5:30pm) for a ride along the coast and around Kennebunkport. 25 miles. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
Happy riding,
Shannnon
p.s. Just a reminder 6/23 is the Summer Solstice Ride and potluck BBQ. If anyone has ideas on the route for that night - drop a comment on the blog or send me an email - we're open to suggestions. Don't forget to invite your family to the BBQ afterwards!

6/9 Ride Update and UPCOMING EVENTS!
Hi gals,
Tonight's ride was pretty much rained out. Hope everyone get out for a run, biked on their trainer, hit to the gym - or all 3!
6/16 Next Tuesday....BIG PLANS!!! Both A and B rides leave at 5:30pm for a loop around Kennebunkport. Approx 25 miles. Very scenic - bring your CAMERA! Hope to see you there! If we have any B riders who are uncertain about the distance, please email me and we can discuss another route. Should we stop for ice cream along the way or after?
6/23 Annual Summer Solstice Ride and BBQ at the Saco Shop. We will have to decide where we want to bike as we celebrate the longest day of the year - hallalujah! SMCC will provide meat and veggie burgers and you bring a side dish to share. This is a ton of fun. Families welcome to join for the BBQ after the ride - the more the merrier! Don't forget bug spray, too. :)

6/9 Ride
Tuesdays weather looks like showers, but I guess we'll have to see if the forecast changes by then. Fingers crossed! Hope everyone had a great weekend and you were able to get out on your bike one of these beautiful days - or be outdoors in some way. Summer is just a few weeks away!
Mark your Calendars A riders!!!! On 6/16 the Women of the A ride are planning a special ride leaving the shop at 5:30pm. It will be a 25-mile loop along Route 9 and around Kennebunkport. Very scenic and great summer route. Hope to see many A riders join us. The B riders will also have a ride 6/16 but it will leave at 6pm at the usual time unless there is interest in a special ride as well - maybe a different route or more mileage?
Other items of note...
