7/20 Saturday Ride

It looks like the heat will be with us again tomorrow, so we are going to keep the ride relatively short and head up Mountain Rd. and then over to Cumberland (Ride route). We will leave the shop at 8:00.

Also keep in mind that next Saturday (7/27) Kris will be leading the Saturday ride as the Barista>Bike>Beer>Brunch>Binghams B-ride. If you missed Kris' email, the plan is to meet at 9:00 at Tandem Coffee (122 Anderson St) at 9:00, go for a 35-45 mile ride, return for tours and a food truck at Rising Tide Brewing Co., and for those still standing to grab some desserts at Dean's Sweets.

Finally, please keep in mind that RoadID is currently offering club members 20% off each order placed between now and August 6. You've read my pitch for RoadID before: I think it's one of the essential pieces of equipment for every rider. Whether you're in a group or riding solo, having ID that allows medical staff to quickly identify your emergency contacts is an important safety item. Any ID is better than none, but one suggestion have as a former EMT is that necklaces and bracelets are by far the most effective form of ID since those are the places where responders are trained to look. If you keep your ID on a shoe and you get a head injury in a crash it may be hours before anyone bothers to take a look at your ID (and don't get me started about keeping it on your bike). If you have a necklace or bracelet, it will be one of the first things examined. 

If you want to take advantage of the RoadID CCCP club discount, send an email and you will get an automated response with the ordering details.
