Howdy listhost,
If you’re one of the people who was recently added, welcome! Warning: long email ahead. Sorry, but we’ve got to cover some logistics.
We’re trying to figure out when group rides should be and have made two scheduling polls:
- For actual road biking please go here: http://whenisgood.net/799g58y
- If you want get involved in road riding but don’t have a bike (or want to explore the idea) please email uchicagovelo@gmail.com describing your situation
- For casual riding (non-road biking): http://whenisgood.net/7iq3jyt
- Casual riding refers to rides anywhere from 5-10 miles in length at a leisurely pace in normal clothes. If you’re looking for the Tour de France stuff go to that road riding poll.
Some comments:
- Before riding with the club in any capacity, you must sign the waiver.
- Link here: https://www.uchicagovelo.com/about-us/
- Don’t worry about 1-3, we really just need 4
- Risk stuff, y’know?
- How much we ride outdoors for the rest of autumn is dependent on the weather
- for casual riding that means we may not ride too often if the weather turns bad early
- We’re trying to finalize the ride schedule by next week, so we’re going to stop looking at responses at 5pm on Oct. 19
- There are a lot of random people on this listhost that aren’t undergrads. To those people: you’re welcome to join us on our rides and we hope that you do!
Finally, the Velo Club is hosting a “How to change a flat tire” session on October 22 and October 23. If you’re interested (or can help pass the event along to non-undergrads) the Facebook event link is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/348284109277071/?notif_t=plan_user_associated¬if_id=1539539418490626
For people not on Facebook:
First sesson: October 22nd, 6-7pm @ Stuart 105
Second session: October 23rd, 6-7pm @ Harper 130

Here’s to another year of riding through freezing headwind on Lakeshore!
