Wow! It looks like a cyclist's dream reading the ride options for this week. The weather is almost perfect (a few degrees cooler would be perfect) how could you not get out and ride. From some GREAT beginner and family oriented rides hosted by Shelly to picking a hill to climb at each end of the valley (and don't forget Malcolm's canyon club on Wed). or you can rack up another century and support a great cause at the same time (Tour de Cure). What ever ride(s) you choose, be safe have fun and enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts! Have a GREAT week BBTC and Pedal Fast and Laugh Often! Rob Y.
