THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Rides for the week of: Monday May 16 to Sunday May 22

We have a great week planned out! With all the nice weather we’ve been having, it’s always a good idea to carry a few $$ with you in the event of ice-cream, cuz you just never know!  A few of the highlights for this week include the Level 1 “PIE RIDE”—yep, it promises to be fun. Bring forks—it’s pie tasting time!  On Sunday there is a whole club ride that Mich has put together in Newcastle that will take everyone along some paved, gorgeous pathways then out into the countryside (depending on Level)—different distances for each Level. There’s something for everyone. Get all the details and RSVP using your Cycle Club account. Honestly, its so easy to use! If you aren’t already setup, please do so—it’s how we notify members of ride cancellations or significant changes.
