6/2 Saturday Ride

First, congratulations to everyone who completed the Memorial Day ride! Now that we are past Memorial Day and unofficially into summer, we will turn our attention to some moderate distance rides (~40-50 miles). However, to the extent that people would like to do some longer rides, please let us know and we can certainly work those into the schedule.

As most of you know, we started putting more emphasis on having emergency contact information on every ride. Please save us the trouble of harassing you and make sure you have some form of identification that lists at least one emergency contact. We hope to never use this information, but trust me when I say that you (and more importantly your loved ones) will be exceptional glad we have access to it if we need it.

On the topic of emergency contact information, RoadID has generously provided the club with a discount code for use ordering any of their RoadID products. If you are not familiar with RoadID, check out the website. The "slim" ID is less than $13 with the discount. These products are just about the only cycling related item that I unconditionally endorse. RoadID has asked that we not place the code in publicly available areas, so I am not going to post the code here. However, Kris sent out a club-wide email this past weekend with the discount code and I will email you the code if you drop me an email. The offer is only valid June 17th, so take advantage of it while you can.

For this week's ride, we will plan to head out through Falmouth and Cumberland (MapMyRide route). Rather than a separate shorter route this week, riders interested in doing fewer miles can simply plan to head straight down Tuttle Rd. as we make our way through Cumberland and then follow the route home on 88.
