All levels of experience are welcome and you can sign up when you show up for a workout, or get with Jim and sign up for a more lengthy membership… but it’s a cheap way to get some indoor riding in when it’s too cold, rainy or windy outside, or if you just want to change up your routine. Come out and try it!

Classes start on May 9th and run through July 2nd, with meetings on Monday evenings at 5:30 pm and Saturday mornings at 9:00 am with different topic featured each week (see below). Classes will be held at the Harrison Junior High School parking lot.

The clinic is free and we’ll be offering door prizes each week.

Weekly topics will include:

• Bike inspections
• Safety Equipment
• Bike clothing
• Safe riding habits
• Traffic Safety
• Nutrition
• Opportunities for cyclists

Sign up today using our contact form with your name, age and email addresses. You can also spread the word by printing and posting our clinic poster.

We look forward to seeing you on May 9th!

In fact we’re in planning mode right now and would enjoy hearing your suggestions for some upcoming decisions, including new club officers, ride suggestions, and any other ideas you had to make the year as enjoyable and beneficial as possible.

Go ahead and leave your thoughts in the comments below and feel free to respond to other people’s thoughts as well (in a positive tone, of course).

Special thanks to Derek Henderson for the great featured photographs that he contributed to our new site. Derek is a member of the club and is a professional photographer here in the Harrison area where he shoots weddings, seniors, families couples, plus a lot more. For more on Derek and his beautiful work check out his website: derekhendersonphotography.com. (Hint: he has a terrible memory.)

Three of the new member features we’re most excited about are the ride calendar, the news blog, and the forum. The calendar displays all upcoming scheduled rides and club events. Mousing over the event name will reveal all pertinent information for the event including ride times and locations. You’ll notice that each calendar event type, including road and mtb rides, are color coded so a quick glance gives you a heads-up about upcoming rides and happenings. You’ll also notice that the most immediate upcoming rides are featured in the header of each page on the site, meaning that a quick trip to the homepage will fill you in on what’s next. The news posts will also be featured on the homepage for the same quick access. If you follow other blogs via RSS you can subscribe to the news feed to have new posts delivered automatically to your feed reader. The forum is just getting ramped up but we invite all members to register and post your own news, questions, and ideas. Finally, you’ll notice that you can leave comments on each of the posts and we look forward to the discussion!

Special thanks to Derek Henderson for the fabulous featured photography and to our newest sponsor, The Field Set, for the beautiful and feature-rich site.
