We regret to inform everyone that Cherry City Cyclists has cancelled our annual Best of the Bay (BOB) ride this year due to insufficient signups.

We do look forward to holding our special ride in 2010, and hope that you will consider participating in our ride at that time. We remain commited to providing a special ride designed just for a limited number of advanced riders: very challenging, but with an outstanding route and reststops, and support appropriate for such an effort.

President’s Message July 2009

Cherry City Cyclists President’s Message

Can you believe we’re halfway done with this year already? And summer just started. And has anyone seen the sun yet? What is with all the fog and cold in June. Hopefully July will be better because I‘m running out of “fogscreen” lotion and can’t remember where I bought it in the first place.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the “BOB” (Best of the Bay) this year due to slow sign-ups this year. We’ve heard from other groups that rides that normally sell out still have plenty of spots open. Such is the currently crummy economy. We’re in the process of planning next year’s Best of the Bay Ride and figuring out what to change and what not to. We appreciate everyone’s help and hope to make next year’s our best yet - so stay tuned.

I believe I forgot to thanks Eva Fallis, Bill Carcot, and the others who helped out at the Cherry Festival bicycle parking.

I just want to bring to everybody’s attention that we are supposed to follow the same traffic rules as cars when it comes to stop signs. So don’t get upset when a car runs a stop sign right after you’ve run a stop sign. The same applies to cutting cars off. If we want drivers to treat cyclists better cyclists in turn better do the same for drivers.

The club Ride ‘n Picnic is set for the Pleasanton Sports Park for Saturday, August 15. Check the website in the coming weeks for further details. Now Go Ride!

Cull Canyon Training Rides starting 04/28/09

Cull Canyon Training Rides

Whether you are just getting on your bike for the 1st time this year, or you’ve been bicycling all winter long, it’s time to add Cull Canyon training rides to your schedule. We ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting April 28th at 6pm sharp. This is a short ride – 12 miles – but there is 500 ft of elevation gain on the way out. Once you turn around you have the option of practicing pacelining (if there are enough riders) or traveling at faster speeds and improving bike handling through the curvy course. Once you add these weekly rides to your schedule you will see marked improvement on your weekend rides. Meet at 5:45 pm in the upper parking lot at Cull Canyon Park.

Contact: Eva at 510-881-6640 or emfallis82@yahoo.com for more information.

Announcing the Spontaneous Sanctioned

The Problem: Due to busy schedules, many people who would like to lead a ride cannot plan 1 or 2 months in advance in order to get their ride(s) into the newsletter.  Nearly everyone enjoys watching their club mileage increase every month, however, you can only attain club mileage on “sanctioned” rides, i.e., those that appear in the newsletter.

The Solution:
