President's Message

Greetings to all of you, hoping that you found some time to sneak out on your bike this winter in between El Nino’s drenchings. It’s shaping up to be a spectacular spring, rewarding us for our wet winter in the gym.

I look forward to a busy year as your president, and I hope that you will have a satisfying year as PWCC members and riders. By now you should have received the short on-line survey we put together. Your comments and continued feedback will help a lot as we plan the year ahead.

Rides are the heart and soul of what we do, and our goal this year is to provide more of them in frequency and diversity to serve cyclists of all levels. You’ll see some new offerings on the calendar in the next few months, from extra beginner rides to training rides.

If you haven’t come on a PWCC ride, please consider joining us. I guarantee you’ll feel welcome, you’ll learn a few bad jokes, and you’ll generally find others at your level, whether you want to poke along or hammer. Give it a try!

Speaking of group rides, later in the year we’ll put together a club trip—stay tuned for details on this web site. Last year a dozen of us enjoyed a terrific 4–day journey from Petaluma to Truckee. This year we may explore a different area. You can count on some exquisite riding and good company if you come along.

That’s about it. Get out on your bikes and enjoy the Sonoma County springtime!

Karin Burger, PWCC President

Saturday Rides— depart from different locations. The ride leader posts the ride through the email notification list.

Introductory Rides—On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, in addition to the regular ride, a ride leader will lead an introductory ride, geared for those wanting to get back into cycling, or those just beginning to cycle. Ride leaves the Applebox at the same time as the regular ride.

"B Street Riders"

PWCC member Bernie Album leads two rides per week, a short 20 mile ride on Monday, often to the private college on San Antonio Road, and a longer 35–45 mile on Thursday, often to Tomales. Riders ride their own pace, which can be slow or fast. Email Bernie at cadexbike@yahoo.com.
