Spring Picnic on May 11 – Duke Island Park. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate with no rain. Weather app is currently forecasting that we will be in the 50’s at the start and 60’s when we have lunch. As always, the picnic is free (and you can bring a guest and non-club members as well), but please sign up using the form at the top of our web page so we know how many people to expect. Consider using this event as a springboard to attract new members and grow the club. There is a full ride schedule for the day of the picnic, with rides at all paces. There should be a ride for anyone who is interested and remember to sign up for the ride in addition to signing up for the picnic.
One of the club members suggested that we set up a SWAP TABLE – The swappers just need to bring their unwanted gear to sell or exchange. The individual just needs to supply a note and $ wanted. Its spring – clean out your garage and give away, swap or sell your unwanted gear.
People whose last name starts with:
| A-F | Please bring a Salad. |
| G-O | Please bring a Main Dish |
| P-Z | Please bring a Dessert. |

It was brought to my attention that Suburban Cyclists Unlimited Bike Club put together a regional calendar of cycling events. I contacted SCU and we have permission to share the link below to the calendar with our members. I think you will find it very informative.
