9/1 Ride Update

Last night was a perfect night to be outside on the bike - the weather was just great. There were three of us on the ride. Thanks to Bethany and Kristy who showed up! Only 4 more rides until the end of our group riding season - hope you can try to make it to some of them!

Happy riding,
Shannon
p.s. Due to diminishing daylight, we leave at 5:30pm now instead of 6pm.

Monday

8/25 Ride

Hi there,
Tuesday's weather looks like a hot one...84 degrees. Jacqueline will be leading the ride again this week as I have a meeting to attend. No one showed up last week to ride - maybe the weather was too hot? If it looks to be too muggy, we may cancel. Check back here Tuesday afternoon for the latest update.

Thanks!
Shannon

Sunday

8/18 Ride

Greetings summer cyclists!
Tuesdays weather looks like a perfectly sunny, warm evening so bring lots of water with you! Jacqueline will be leading a combined A and B ride for the next two Tuesdays. Thanks so much Jacqueline! I hope everyone has a great ride!

Shannon
p.s. The ride leaves right at 6pm due to the diminishing daylight, so allow yourself enough time to get your bike and gear together and be ready to bike right at 6pm. Thank you!

8/11 Update - Rain!

Looks like wet roads out there in Saco so we will cancel for tonight. See you next week!

8/11 Ride

Hi riders,
Tuesday's weather looks to be scattered thunderstorms - so I guess we'll just have to wait to see how things go tomorrow. Hopefully we can bike between the storms!

I have commitments on 8/18 and 8/25 - would anyone be available to lead the ride one or both of those nights? It seems like we've been riding together As and Bs so we can plan to do that the next few weeks.

Thank you,
Shannon

8/4 Ride Summary

It was a nice ride last night and we ended up all riding together As and Bs. We had seven on the ride, two of which joined us from out of town here on summer vacation. The weather wasn't too warm - a slight breeze and we picked a route where we could ride part of the way along the coast. Rode almost 25 miles.

See everyone next week!

Monday

8/4 August is here!

Hi gals,
The weather for Tuesday's ride looks FABULOUS - sunny and warm! Looking forward to seeing everyone Tuesday night at 6pm for the A and B rides. If the weather is hot, we will probably plan both rides to ride near the coast. Isn't it wonderful we have that option - living so close to the seacoast? I wonder where cyclists in Iowa ride when the weather gets this hot?! We are truly blessed.

Anyone care to go for pizza or a burrito after the ride?

Happy riding,
Shannon
p.s. I am still looking for one or two people to take over as ride coordinator for 2010. My duties will end October 1st of this year. Anyone with any interest or questions about what the volunteer position entails please drop me an email. My email address is posted on the blog.

p.s.s. Mark your calendars for Saturday, Sept 19th. That is the day SMCC is putting on the Biddeford Criterium. This year it's on Main Street in Biddeford. Some of you volunteered last year at the crit in Saco. Anyone interested in helping out again this year it would be greatly appreciated. We take very good care of our volunteers on race day - breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks, tshirts. Work part of the day or the whole day - be a marshall out on the course or under the white tent in registration - the choice is yours! You may even want to sign up to race the crit that day, too. I will have more info about this as the date gets closer.
