Note from the Pres.
The weather predictions seem to be more promising this week so let’s get out there and ride!The Margarita Ride returns this week with Steve, our favorite Gator, as the Ride Leader. On a side note there will be a fund raiser this Sunday the 26th at Boulder Beer to raise money for Steve’s daughter Kelsey who is preparing for a third attempt at a possible kidney transplant this summer at the Mayo clinic. See below for more.
As the number of cyclists continues to grow on each ride we will be establishing 2 groups in the future based a slower group averaging 12 to 14 mph and a faster group averaging 15 to 18 mph to better accommodate the different levels within the group.Thursday Night’s Road Bike ride is also on this week and we hope to head up to Jamestown and back. For more info contact Donald at donald@bouldercyclingclub.com. We will meet at 5:30 pm at Restaurant 4580 in North Boulder.
Volunteers — We really need folks to help out with the upcoming Bike to Work Month festivities and Ride Leaders! Email us for details.
Let’s get out there and enjoy this well deserved and warm spring weather!
See you on the bike,
Donald C.

KIDNEY FOR KELSEY PARTY – THIS SUNDAY!
|
|
 Family, friends and the wonderful folks at Boulder Beer Co. are throwing a 2nd annual party and silent auction for Kelsey Crider, a 19 year Boulder girl who suffers from a life threatening disease of her kidneys. Kelsey is the daughter of our MArgarita ride leader and club member Steve Crider. Kelsey has gone through seven surgeries and two kidney transplants over the last two years, and is currently on dialysis three times per week. She is now facing transplant number three at Mayo Clinic in MN this summer IF a living donor can be found that is a good match and is willing and able. Click here for more! Please join us April 26th at 3pm at Boulder Beer for a wonderful event and support of Kelsey in winning her battle and moving on in life. |
