BIKING
UPWARDTRAILS-2002-2009!!!
By: Karen Graves - Director
General Information--
***We are a group who enjoys biking for the exercise and for socializing. We
set a casual pace and emphasize the experience of biking and enjoying the
scenery. A fast pace is not important to us, but having a good time is. If
you enjoy biking with a fun, sociable group, you are welcome to join us.
*** For your safety, helmets are required on these rides.
***You are responsible for your safety at all times. Obey all the traffic laws.
Stop at stop signs and do not run yellow lights. Wear bright colored
clothing.
***Rain will cancel these events. If the weather is questionable, we will meet
at the designated time and place and make a decision based on the consensus
of the group.
***To stay warm when biking in cooler weather you may want to consider layering.
We have found polypropylene as the first layer next to your skin to be the
most absorbent and the fastest drying. The next layer might be a biking
jersey and the outer layer a bright colored windbreaker.
***If you are uncertain what you need, please call any guide. PLEASE bring ... $4.00 carpool
money, to help the driver with expenses.....Thank you.
