- 21 — Sunday Bring-your-kids Ride: Nice & Flat. V.P. Steve Perret leads. 15 mile round trip from Kent to Southcenter & back along banks of Green River — very pastoral. Take Midway-Kent exit off I-5, follow Kent signs downhill to starting area just before Green River Bridge. (Look for Bike Route signs). Starts at 1:00 PM — ice cream — take Old 99 or West Valley Hiway if you ride out (or look at map!)

- 28 — Sunday Tacoma to Haven Lake: (near Belfair) 50 miles one way — transportation back if desired. Meet 8:00 AM at T.C.C. Bring water, food, swim suit & essentials (patch kit, etc.). Fee for non-members — Registration Deadline July 19 — call Harvey Lister at 474-2849 or 472-1374 — Anyone for a century run? (round trip!)
August 7 — Wednesday Club Board Meeting: Officers are supposed to come, but everyone is invited to come to the T.C.C. Library on the first Wednesday of each month — not just officers (they need all the help they can get) but those who are interested in the club should be here as policy decisions are made and you get to talk about bicycles too!
Thursday rides will probably continue during August unless minds change.
Still no definite schedule for racing / fast riding activities as no one agrees on time & place so far — Hope to see some Training Races and Time Trials, etc. sooner or later. Call Dave Linden at JU 8-2245.
Bicycle races (ABL of A): Saturday July 13 on Capitol Grounds in Olympia starting around 9:00 AM, and Sunday July 14 in Kirkland about the same time!
