A HELMET IS MANDATORY for all Let's Ride bicycle rides. Also required, a working and properly maintained bicycle that will allow you to travel the distance and pace you have elected to ride. If you need to have your bike looked over or prepped because it's been collecting dust all winter, please arrive early so you have time to get ready to ride.

As 'situational awareness' is critical to safe bicycling, EARBUDS, EARPHONES and LOUDSPEAKERS will NOT be ALLOWED on this ride.

You should also bring the normal accoutrement; (ID with Emergency Contact and insurance card(s), spare inner tube, pump, etc.), proper attire based on the weather forecast, water, sunscreen, sunglasses, money for food and/or beverage, a bicycle lock and a good attitude!

If you intend to stay after the ride, bring a lock and chain/cable, etc., to lock/secure your bike. Unattended bicycles are always a target for opportunistic thieves.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Please make certain you have "email communication turned on" in your meetup account settings.
