Tour de Cypresswood Saturday Ride

Tour de Cypresswood Saturday Ride

Come out and enjoy the trails of Cypresswood with us.

Something to think about:

• " First of all, do not hang your bike up on hooks out of reach. This will make it difficult to take down and maybe an excuse not to ride'.

• Second, " Have your gear in a easy to carry tub or container in your car".

• Third, " Use a vehicle bike rack that allows you easy access to put your bike on and off."

In theory, " Remove the obstacles and gain the success."
