Crash a TCBC ride with me

I'm going to join in on a TCBC ride. Now, one of the reasons I prefer meetup to TCBC is you can see who's going on any given ride. This will be my first TCBC outing, so here's a chance for you to attend and at least you'll know I'm there. It's $2 for non members

I AM NOT THE HOST FOR THIS RIDE! So I won't be holding the group for late comers and might be fast for some. The average will end up around 14mph so we'll be hitting 17-18 at times and it's feet up at 6

This is a B ride on their scale

B Brisk

• Social, but emphasis is on riding – A good choice for experienced group riders - generally intermediate or greater pace, terrain and distance About
  14 mph intermediate to more advanced cycling skills; spare tube, patch kit, pump About every
  15-20 miles leader helps at the rear of the riders who are riding at a B pace

TCBC Rides are open to members and non-members alike unless otherwise noted. Ride times listed are departure times. Come to the ride start location at least 15 minutes before the depart time listed on the schedule and find the ride leader (leaders usually have the back of their car open with sign up sheets in the back). Sign a waiver and the ride signup sheet, and if you're a non-member pay the leader the $2 non-member fee (no ride-fee for members). There will be maps for the ride (unless it is specified as a mapless ride on the schedule). The ride leader will also give a briefing on the route to the group, and then you'll be on your way!

TCBC rates its rides to help you pick ones that are suitable for your interests and abilities. http://www.biketcbc.net/mcalendar/images/arrow_red2.gif See Ride Key (http://biketcbc.org/key.html)
