Monday Ride - 6PM Start at OBB

Our final Monday ride of the season will start at 6PM on Monday from Oak Bay Bikes. (http://goo.gl/maps/ioyKc) Hopefully we can get a good crowd out to celebrate the end of summer.  

There has been some discussion around having a similar ride on the weekend. The struggle with that idea is finding someone willing to act as sweeper. Typically, a sweeper is a stronger rider who is familiar with the route/area and willing to encourage and/or tow any weaker riders who are at risk of getting left behind. With limited opportunity to ride in the fall/winter, this can be a difficult role to fill. Our goal with these Monday rides is to encourage newer riders and riders intimidated by group rides, so having a sweeper is essential to achieving this goal.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to leave them here (below) or bring them to the Monday ride for discussion. Our rides have been well-received and it would be great to be able to hang on to something similar through the fall and winter.
