THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Rides for the week of: Monday May 22 to Sunday May 28

The May 24 weekend is over and for many it means we really feel like summer is here, even if the cold weather defies us constantly. Most of the rides are pretty local this week, except for Sunday when the Level 1 crowd is going to venture from Beavermead Park up to Lakefield for a well-deserved ice-cream.  While the 1’s are busy ice-creaming, the Level 3/4s will be visiting the Bleasdale Boulder and taking in a whole plethora of lilacs on the “Rock & Lock & Roll” route out near Trenton.  For the mountain-bikers among us, Helmut will have another Friday night adventure for y’all, only this time they’ll be starting from the Woodland Trailhead.

RSVP: 
Members: Please let ride leaders know you are in, using your Cycle Club Account.  
Guests: Those wishing to ride as our guest may leave a comment on the website to let us know you are coming. Please bring a signed Guest Waiver with you (available in the right-hand column of our website)
