Road I comes to Grand Rapids!
Sat Oct 18 8:30 AM
Improve your road handling skills and learn crash avoidance techniques with this
League of Michigan Bicyclists' program.
Rapid Wheelmen members Josh Duggan and Karen Dunnam, both certified BikeEd instructors, will teach the 8-hour class. Cost is $25, which includes your workbook. Class location: West Michigan Environmental Action Council, 1007 Lake Dr., SE, Grand Rapids. Pre-registration required. More information: Barbara Schmid bicycleeducation@gmail.com. Registration forms are at area bike shops.
I've created a new webpage where we can post ride maps for club rides. They could be useful as a way to get a map to a substitute RC, or if you're just looking for a good ride in an unfamiliar part of town. Look for the link next to the Ride Schedule link under the banner at the top of the our home page.

2008 Points/Reward System What's a point? What's the reward? Why should I be interested? It's incentive for all RW members to participate cycling activities like rides, general meetings, being a ride captain, racing, volunteering, chairing events, recruiting new members, fund raising, etc. etc. Wear your RW jersey, shorts, and/or T-shirts for BONUS POINTS! Download the points spreadsheet, review the additional instructions and how many points you earn for different activities. The top three club members receive gift certificates to local bike shops or credit towards club apparel. The top 2 junior members (under 16 at 10/31/08) receive the same. Please read the information on the spreadsheet for more details. Questions? Email me or call me at 616.364.9101. Jeff Festian. ---
