About us

If you enjoy exercising the body and the mind all in one fell swoop, join Books, Jogs and Chess, now Books, Cycles and Chess! Yes, I'm shifting from running to cycling as we enter the fall months. I understand that may affect people's interest, but the main focus isn't the specific type of exercise, but that it's exercise. Full stop. We'll meet at the Brittingham Park where W Washington and S Park Avenue meet in Madison. Once there, we'll set off on our bikes for a trip around the lake. Then, we'll finish off the meeting with some palaver over a good book and play some chess. Experienced to novice cyclers welcome! And you needn't know how to play chess and you needn't have a wealth of book knowledge. All you need is to have a passion for reading, and engaging the mind and the body. I see the membership base is growing which is good. Fall is here, so let us enjoy it with a few cycling trips!

Also, please RSVP!

If there are no RSVPs, I will assume that no one is attending and cancel the event. I love a good jog but I created the group in order to build a community. Three's company and all that. Thank you dearly for your understanding!
