Information:  This ride is for the entry level and family road bikers.  We travel about 10 - 15miles on the paved country roads east of the YMCA.  It takes an hour or a little more with an average speed of about 10 - 12 miles per hour.  This is meant to be a leisurely ride.  Principles of riding with a group, rules of the road, and safety issues will be explained.  Any bike is fine.  It doesn't have to be a road bike.  During the summer months there will be a pie night, wine and cheese night, and chocolate night with dates to be determined. 

One legal point:  These rides are sanctioned by the Wheeler Bike Club and are therefore covered by insurance.  New riders can have their first(guest) ride with the club without being members.  Second and subsequent rides will require membership for insurance coverage purposes.  Membership forms will be made available to anyone interested in joining the club.

Helmets are required on all rides. Note start time will be 5:30 after Labor Day.

Tuesdays & Wednesday Nights

We are riding the Mountain Bay trail at night starting a 6:00 pm at the trail head located on Sternberg Ave right behind the Weston Municipal center. You need a headlight and a non-flashing tail light.  Road tires may be too narrow for the hard pack trail but wider commuting tires or cross tires work fine.

It is important to keep your feet , head and body warm. Shoe covers, head cover and warm gloves are important. Warming chemical packs can be inserted under your shoe covers if needed.  

Keep the season going!

Lucy Harvey would like to extend an invitation to other local women riders to join her and a few friends for a leisurely ride every Thursday. For more info. contact Lucy at 715-848-3545 or lucy3545@verizon.net
