This week the Saturday ride will be exploring a few more hills. For those that have been with us during the past few weeks, you've gotten used to heading up Mountain Rd. Well, this week we are planning to include Dutton Hill Rd. as well. This is a great local ride that should be a fun way to get some additional experience going uphill (and downhill for that matter).

Saturday Ride Goes Long!
In response to rising demand, we are planning a long (approximately 60 mile) version of the Saturday ride. The goal will be to maintain the inclusive atmosphere of a normal Saturday ride while adding some additional miles to help folks get experience with longer ride and exposure to some new territory.
We are open to suggestions for routes, starting location and timing, so please use the comment option below to chime in and provide your 2 cents.
As a starting point for discussion, here are three potential route options:
Raymond Loop (from Cumberland Center)
Brunswick Loop
Saco/OOB Coastal Route
Feel free to provide your thoughts on these routes or to submit a route of your own. If you suggest a route, please map the ride using MapMyRide and provide a link so that we can check out the details.
Finally, we need to pick a date. Potential options are Saturday July 11 or 18, Sunday July 12 or 19, or possibly Friday July 3.
Please provide comments, questions and/or thoughts by using the comments link below or emailing Sean.

CCCP Google Group
For those of you who are not aware, we have created a Google Group for the club:
http://groups.google.com/group/community-cycling-club-of-portland
This is a great way for members to post ride info, start a discussion, and upload photos and files. It's free to join. Anyone can view the messages on the group without becoming a joining. However, only members can post messages. Keep in mind that you don't have to be an official CCCP member to become a member of this group - anyone is welcome.
We do request that, since this is a community site, you keep any negativity and profanity out of this group.
There are a few options for notifications when you do join the group:
1.) You can receive emails as soon as something is posted to the group;
2.) You can receive a daily abbreviated version of the day's postings; or
3.) You can receive no email notifications and just check the site when it's convenient for you.
These options can also be changed at any time and you also have the option of unsubscribing or leaving the group altogether if you'd like. Although we hope it will become a useful tool for those impromptu rides or when you are looking to put together a ride group.
We hope you'll consider joining!

New 2009 CCCP Jerseys, Jackets and Bibs are Here!
The new kits have arrived from Italia and they look great. New logo, different shoulder color and three new club sponsors - thank you Cornerstones, Goduti/Thomas Architects and Forest Gardens.
Kris will be at bike shop early (5:30 pm) before today's Monday ride (6pm) for anyone who wants to pick their order up toute de suite. Please bring your checkbook or cash (no credit cards) if you owe a balance on your order and please leave order sheet even if you are fully paid up.
Kits can be picked up at shop later in the week, but ask for the politburo (Kris) when you come in.
There are some extras kits, not many, that will be available but not until preorders are picked up. Talk to Kris in a week or two.

6th Annual CCCP Memorial Day Ride
The weather was almost perfect for the 6th annual CCCP Memorial Day ride in the White Mountains. A lot less wind would have made the ride a lot more enjoyable and a lot less arduous.
Photos and videos can be found on our Flickr page:
Enjoy! (Please, if you use the photos on another site, credit to Don McEwan is greatly appreciated!)
