A portion of the sales will goto support Greenhouse Scholars. When you register for the ride remember to (1.) use your member discount and (2.) register under Venus de Miles Bike Club 12.
There are several women interested in riding in the Venus de Miles ride in Chicago. I would love to connect us all. Reply to me if you want to be in on that list. While on that topic, several of us are riding the Santa Fe Century (25 mi, 50mi and 100mi) May 20th and the Sunrise Century June 23rd. Groups are forming for training and fun!

We received a few emails this week about safety. This reminder is not to be a downer, safe riding = fun riding. As a club we NEVER ride more then two a breast. We pass safely and use our voices to announce ourselves. To be VERY CLEAR, if you do not follow the Venus Bike Club safety rules you will be asked not to ride with the Club.
Meet at Full Cycle no later then 8:30am, we ride out at 9am sharp. You must sign annual waiver and listen, agree to and be checked off for the safety rules. On the medium and long rides you must know how to fix your own flat. On all rides you must have the items to fix your flat (tube, patch kit, tire levers (2) and a pump).
