earned on rides sponsored by
clubs affiliated with Bicycle USA

MARCH CLUB MEETING

This month’s club meeting
will be held on Tuesday March
19th at 7pm.

Terry and Lori King will discuss TOURING EQUIPMENT. Terry and Lori have presented this information to other clubs in the area. Those of us who have seen the presentation know that both the "new tourer" and the expert can benefit.

Following the King’s presentation, there will be a few bikes loaded for a weekend camping trip. You can ask questions, get differing views, and do a little "touchie-feelie" with the various equipment. This will be an excellent opportunity to review your options before buying your equipment for the 1985 touring season.

We would like to welcome the

following new members into the clubs

Thomas Hastings
Bob Stidwell
