SCTAC (aka Donaldson) Tuesdays Starting March 16th

 

There is no other ride like SCTAC. You arrive a stranger but leave a friend. Cycling brings folks together and SCTAC is where they all meet. The ride meets weekly from Spring through Fall, groups start to depart at 6pm. Times do change as the days get shorter. Spinners members receive all the e-mail updates for the ride.

 

Due to the size of our groups and the need to maintain our average group speeds, we are adding a new group. We have many that want to graduate from the "C4" to "C3" group but are finding the transition difficult. We hope that this new group structure will help the transition.

 

It is important that you respect the group average speeds advertised for the group that you join. If you have the "need for speed" join the next fastest group the following week but again, do not push your group to go faster!! The ride leader sets the pace for the group, please follow the leader.

 

We do need "C" ride leaders/sweeper for every week, PLEASE consider volunteering!!

 

Ride Info-
"A" & "B" Perimeter Rd. ride led by Steve Baker (Race Focused, High Speed-Police escorted around Perimeter Rd 7.2 mile loop), be ready to not only rock but roll with these groups. Average speeds are 20+++MPH

 

"C" Country Group Rides-

Group #           Distance        Speed               

"C1a"                32 miles        20MPH +++   Hammer Heads Non-Group Ride

"C1b"                32 miles        19+                       

"C2a"                32 miles        18-19MPH            

"C2b"                32 miles        17-18MPH     

"C3a"                32 Miles        16-17MPH         

"C3b"                32 Miles        15-16MPH          

"C4"                  24 miles        12-14MPH     (no one left behind with Sweeper)

                                 

 

Ride leaders set the pace, assimilate new cyclists to the SCTAC experience, and assure the rules of the road are conveyed to all in the group. We want to ensure all feel welcome and included in our activities. We are seeing new folks weekly and having a primary contact within the groups has helped to ease their transition from a "Newbie" to a "Regular".

 

Please volunteer to be a ride leader at SCTAC Tuesday nights. You make this ride a success

Benefits of racing as a Spinner include:  (1) association with like minded teammates with which to train, travel and RACE, (2) sponsorship perks (varies from year to year), and (3) partial reimbursement of entry fees (subject to funding).

 

The team is in the process of finalizing sponsorships and kit design for 2009.  The 2009 team clothing order will be placed in the next few weeks.

ICAR Family Fun Ride - April 21

We had a great showing of 32 people for our first Family Fun Ride. Bring your family to the ride every first and third Tuesday of the month at 6pm at Whole Foods Market. All types of bikes and riders welcome. It is free and open to the public. This is a VERY relaxing social ride around ICAR.

 

Remember, ICAR has bike lanes, very little traffic and the chance to ride with me and my 9 year old daughter. ALL bikes are welcome. Cruisers, road bikes, mountain bikes, etc. All we require is that you have a helmet. This is a great opportunity to come out and have fun riding, learning about your bike, meeting other great people and getting some fantastic exercise! We will be meeting at the parking garage at 6:00. No rush to roll out so come and enjoy an evening on two wheels.
