Social Activities We have club meetings on the first Thursday of designated months where we often host programs to enhance our cycling knowledge. In addition, our members get together for an annual club picnic, banquet and holiday party. Throughout the winter we stay active with mountain biking, XC-skiing and hiking. |
You don't have to be a member to try a club ride or attend a club meeting. Check out the Rides or Meeting Info links and come out and join us. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. |
The club has a
constitution and maintains this website, a
yahoo group and a newsletter with
information about club activities.
A membership application is available
here.
