What we’re about
Welcome to the Lehigh Valley Cycling Club's Meetup Calendar. Here we list our cycling events, and some non-cycling fun as well. Our recreational, social rides are available at various paces and will take you mostly around the counties of Lehigh and Berks. We are blessed to experience the beauty that makes up this part of Pennsylvania.
While we are happy to see so many take an interest in our Ride Calendar, following here does not grant LVCC membership. We would be thrilled to have you all become dues paying LVCC members! Here are some of the benefits:
* We offer a full schedule of road and off-road rides for all levels.
* Bike shop discounts
* Insurance coverage for uncovered expenses if involved in a LVCC ride incident
* Monthly Grill 'n' Chill and annual Picnic
* Annual Holiday Party
* Overnight/weekend cycling trips
* Last but not least, LVCC is host to the now-famous Donut Derby!

I want to ride the 42 route that I layed out for Saturday's Veloce and looking for some riders to go with me. Average will be around 14 with about 2900 ft of climbing. Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50344676
Goal is to check out road conditions and make sure the cues are accurate. We'll stop at Wanamakers for a bite to eat.
In case of any issues, my cell number is 610 909 4679.
Check back at 8;00 before you leave for the ride in case of any changes.
Everyone must wear a helmet and individually sign the LVCC Waiver Release, which I will have with me, to ride with us. Joining Meetup and responding to this event is not a substitute for signing the waiver and if you ride more than 1 time on LVCC rides, you should formally join the club before riding again.
