Many of us will plan to meet at the start time regardless and we can make a call then. We've learned that the weather can change quickly, so there's not much point in canceling the run prematurely. **RSVP:** If you are interested in joining, please join the group and then sign up for this event so we know you're coming. You're welcome to bring a friend -- all guys in their 20s and 30s are welcome -- but please have them sign up through Meetup or shoot us a message so we know how many people to expect.

Start-of-season party
Start-of-season party
All members of our meetup group are invited to kick off the sailing season at a fabulous party in Alexandria, Virginia! It will be a great place to socialize and learn about club sailing. It is a great opportunity for boat owners to find potential crewmates. The club will provide grilled meats and fish and numerous libations. If you wish to bring a salad, side dish or desert that would certainly be appreciated but is not required. (Please contact the host so that any side dished or salad offering can be coordinated.). We'll also run a short meeting, discuss possible membership dues and seek new officers to lead the club. (In the past, these officers have included: Commodore, Vice Commodore, Secretary, and Treasurer.) Address will be provided once you reserve for the party. The party will take place rain or shine.

Handy Bikes | Beginners' No Drop Ride
Handy Bikes | Beginners' No Drop Ride
Meet in the parking lot of the Handy Bikes Service Center. At the start of each ride, we'll go over introductions to have a sense of participants' cycling experience. Over the course of our rides, we'll address the following: group riding dynamics; safety (ABC check & trail hazards); gear shifting; hill climbing; audible and hand communication within the group, with other trail users, and automobile drivers; what to bring on each ride; etc... Bring your questions, water & a snack. When it starts getting dark earlier, we'll need lights as well. Helmets a MUST. If you can, and especially if you've had issues with your bike, come a bit early to have it looked at ahead of the ride. PS - all levels are welcome to join, however, be mindful that if you are an experienced rider, please be prepared to ride at the pace of the newest rider in the group. Each week, depending on who's in attendance, and participants' riding ability/comfort level, we may do skills practice as a group in the parking lot or at the west end of Wheeler Ave. Once everyone is comfortable, we'll go for a ride on local trails and neighborhood streets and finish back at the shop. Happy Pedaling !! \~Maya
