I'm reluctant to continue to switch the ride to Sunday morning, but the weather seems to be pushing us that way each week. There is a chance that the rain and snow will be out of here early Saturday morning, but to be honest, I'd prefer to ride on Sunday when it's a dry and sunny.
So...once again we will do a Sunday ride, leaving the shop at 9:00am to give the sun a little time to warm things up. This week we are going to wander up to Freeport (MapMyRide route).
Don't forget that in addition to this blog, you can also get updates via twitter (@cyclemaine) or the new Cyclemaine Facebook page.
Another reminder that now is a great time to get your bike(s) tuned. To that end, I'm curious whether there is any interest in a brief cleaning/adjusting "clinic." I was thinking of an informal gathering after a ride where we could go through the basics of what to clean, how to clean it, and how to make adjustments to braking and shifting to keep everything safe and efficient.
Finally, here's a comic from yehudamoon.com that should resonate with anyone who cycles in Maine this time of year.

I'd be up for a tune-up clinic after a ride assuming its one I can make.
Actually, I'd be more interested in taking more time, maybe not after a ride, and covering more complicated adjustments, maintenance, and repair.
I'd also be up for an advanced tune up clinic. Following a ride may be a big time commitment and perhaps during a weekday evening may work better. Can we get access to a workshop with bike stands, tools, etc?

I would also be interested in a "clinic". I agree with Harry B that it would be more of a time commitment if we make it after a ride and that a weekday evening may work out better for just the clinic.
+1 on the advanced clinic idea.
