Hi All:

After a cold, snowy winter, we are finally beginning to see some warmer weather. Today, 31 MAFWers came out and rode out of Pluckemin. Hopefully, the weather will continue to improve for us. To get you and your bike ready to ride this spring , we are pleased to  partner again with Trek Stirling and offer their free no obligation bike inspection program on Saturday March 14, 2026 starting at 9:00 am. Safety is our number one priority and we urge to have your bike inspected.  If any service is suggested, Trek has established special pricing for MAFW members and they have reduced their Level 2 Service pricing from $189 to $139 for any member bringing their bike in for inspection next Saturday. Trek will be providing coffee and bagels during the pre ride inspection.

Our previous post inspection rides from Trek Stirling were considered too long by many of our members .  We are in the process of creating shorter rides about 30 miles long from the Trek Stirling location.   Those rides will be posted within the next few days . Please sign up for those rides so we can provide an accurate head count to Trek. We suggest you arrive 30 minutes before your ride starts for your bike inspection.  Parking will be in the Trek parking lot, the daycare next door, as well as Main Street in Stirling.  The rain date will be the following Saturday 3/21/26 at the same time starting at 9 am.  If you have any questions, please let me know .

Stay safe,
Jeff
