SCTAC (formerly 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. Click here to get directions to SCTAC.
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 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.
