The Boulder Cycling Club has embraced the idea and we will have our own spokesman available to present our concerns and ideas. A few of the ideas being discussed is more signage and possible addition of bike lanes. Also, be aware that enforcement of the laws of the road will continue by the sheriff’s department. As a club we believe in obeying the rules of the road especially speed limits and stop sign/ red light stopping. Remember it is over $100.00 ticket for rolling through a stop light or sign and you will be given one if a police officer sees you do it. The club believes in SAFETY FIRST! As our ride groups get bigger it becomes even more important to not only obey the rules of the road but to be courteous out there on the road.

Our rides do continue to draw more folks as the summer rolls on and we’ll be out again this Sunday for the Early Riser Ride. Meet at Amante’s at 7:00 am and leave by 7:30 am.This will be the last day of the Tour so get there early and get psyched up one more time! Don will be leading this week and has 2 routes selected one up into the hills and one more flat so the group that assembles that morning can choose which one they prefer. Tuesday and Thursday night rides continue and have been a blast with the evening cooler temperatures and the fun after the ride refreshments and camaraderie.
The Saturday morning ride continues to be sponsored by our friends at Bicycle Village and is always a great ride with the route changing weekly. Last week’s ride and swim out to Eldorado Springs swimming pool sounded like a great time and everyone enjoyed it. Ride meets at 9:15 am at Bicycle Village and leaves at 9:30 am.
