Lake Geneva Canopy Tours Trails

 Butch is throwing out an invite!  He says the Canopy Trails are inviting and Saturday, March 28th  at 8 AM would be a great time to give 'em some love- i.e. RIDE 'EM!  
 We all love these trails!  Thanks to Butch and crew for all the time and effort in this labor of love.  But with the recent rain and snow, even fat bikes would wreck havoc on the trails. So, let's be respectful and wait for better conditions before heading out there.  I will be sure to update here when Butch says the conditions are favorable.  Thanks in advance for your support.  

Fit Kits from Mt. Borah At RRB

  You still have time to swing by and try on shorts, bibs and jerseys so you can order the proper size.  And believe me, you are going to want to update your wardrobe when you see the new color scheme. It looks great!  RRB is closed Mondays, Sundays, and Wednesday.

Next Week Finds Me On Skis, Not Skinny Tires

TREADHEADS... We Are A Cycling Club

  THC was started as a group of guys riding bikes and eating fajitas at The Cactus Club.  It morphed into a WORS mountain bike team and weekly club rides on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  But THC is a club.  Sure, we have accomplished mountain bike racers, a national juniors level racing champ, road and cyclocross racers among our ranks.  But we are also recreational riders, people who ride fat bikes, cruisers, charity event riders....  we are a diverse cycling club.  I like to think we have something to offer anyone on two wheels.  

  A good place to start, I think, is to invite someone to join you at the Spring Social.  Get to meet some other cycling enthusiasts.  Plan to ride together on the weekly group rides.  Maybe gather together to ride a bit before the official rides start in May.  Cycling is supposed to be fun.  (I can suffer on my own, I come to club rides for the social element.)  

  One thing I want to propose this year, is a monthly family ride on a weekend day.  We could pick a family friendly venue like White River Trail or the trails in Burlington for some easy paced riding.  Let's talk about that, shall we?
