FedEx does a standing ride Wed evenings at 5:30pm on the Montour Trail launching from the Enlow Rd parking lot. All are invited. Also, several of our team members belong to the Major Taylor cycling club. They also have an open invite to the folks training for charity rides.

I plan to ride with Fred on Tuesday out of North Park that will start at 5:30 (see WPW listing). On Thursday we will have a recovery ride that will be lead by Jay Hubstenberger. The weekends we will have to have our own organized rides with times to be determined. Each Monday, I will send out the Alcoa Team weekly schedule to my riders. Generally there will be people riding from our team every night and anyone is welcome to join. However, organized rides will be Tues, Thurs, Saturday and Sunday.

Description Ride: The purpose of this event is to get out meet other club members
Ride Info: WPW riders, lets get out and meet each other for a spring kick-off. You aren't really sure if you are an A, B, C, or D? Let's get out and meet each other. Welcome to the Club!
Plan: We will ride once around the lake and then another loop up and over the ridge opposite the skating rink (or not). We'll have ride leaders sprinkled through the group, so we naturally break up into several groups. We'll meet back up in the parking lot, and break into at least two groups - a faster group (A-B) of more aggressive riders, and another group looking for a friendlier ride (B-C). Route for the B-C route is at here. We'll endeavor to have a cooler of refreshments at the end (or bring your own and share).
