The bicycling season is already

in full wing. If you don’t .

believe this you haven’t been on
any rides this year. The turnouts

have been overwhelming. I. have

geen some very high quality rides this season and am looking foward to many more. Finding a ride that is right for you is very simple. Just look at the ride schedule for a destination and distance that is within your ability (be daring, it’s good for the body) check the ride code for the pace, and be at the starting point on time ready to go. If you have any questions about the route, terrain, or anything else, don’t hesitate to call the ride leader or me. =

If you haven't pre-registered for
the Daffodil now is the time to

Reservations Being Taken

Make sure that you have a place to work on April 26th. This is the day of our Tenth Annual Daffodil Classic. This job won’t require the whole day. Depending on what shift that you want, you will still be able to ride either in the morning or afternoon. Call Steve Lay, 7359-1816, for available checkpoints and times.

do it. This year club members will also save a dollar for registering before April 15th. Also be sure to order your commemorative T-shirt, so that you will be assured of the proper size. These shirts are one of the best looking ones that I have seen. This is our biggest event of the year. A lot of club activities depend on the proceeds from this ride. You can help make it a success by attending yourself, bringing a friend and promoting the ride to everyone you talk to. If you need more applications you may capy them or call me and I will send you some.

Looking foward to seeing you in
the street!
