"Cyclists have to understand something that pretty much all buses stop on the right side. So if they’re traveling with us and there’s a bus stop in the far side of the intersection, or even the near side, they have to understand that we’re going to pull in. If you could just lower your speed and even stop and come around to the left side of the bus. We have no problem with the left side. It’s just that side and a lot of cyclists are very spiteful when it comes to us.

People,

At last evening's meeting, the Board reviewed our policies on non-cycling athletic activities and came away with the following.

Non-cycling - Members are encouraged to propose non-cycling activities that they believe would be of interest to the membership.  At the same time, these are not susceptible to meaningful ride coordinator review and the Board does not view them as official or sponsored activities. Consequently, non-cycling activities will not be included in our ride listings, although the message board will be available to promote them.

As I was coming down the west drive in the upper 90's, there was an police van with lights flashing blocking the roadway. I slowed as I approached and noticed a panel truck behind the police car. There was a woman in severe emotional distress sittiing on the curb between the car and the truck. There was also a dog under a blanket with just its tail sticking out. I talked briefly with the cop and it seems she was walking her dog without a leash, it darted out and was hit by the truck. The truck seemed to be the type that was removing the remnants of the marathon.

Just curious why there's a May 30th ride for 2015 listed after December 4th...

Anyone know if the Marathon cleanup has been finished yet? A large section on the West side was still closed as of last night.

No one signed up so the ride is cancelled.

Dear Board:  

I understand that the Board this year has disallowed non-cycling athletic activities in our ride listings. 

It's too windy to get out of my apartment.  No way we'd enjoy this ride today.  Planning to reschedule for next Sunday.
