FanieFiets Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Hi, from my New Balance newsletter. The more the merrier! Due to such a lot of cycling accidents I will be starting a new initiative at the NBMC Road Pack Rides. How I will implement this is not known yet, but the idea is to have a safety/backup vehicle riding behind each of our cycling groups every weekend to be a buffer between the cyclists and approaching vehicles. A captain should lead by example, so I will be fulfilling this role this coming weekend, only difference is that I will have a whip in my hand, he he. This way I hope to attract more riders to our rides as it is a safer environment to cycle in. I do not mind if non members join us at this stage, so bring your friends with.There will be 2 routes to choose from this weekend, a 50km and a 65km and the idea is to play cat and mouse and see who is home first. The 65km will be aimed at the fast and furious and the 50km will be for the fast and easy.All riders (MTB & Road) will meet at Mugg & Bean afterwards where we will have a nice chat and where I will get your feedback and ideas. I will also talk about ideas for Double Century (DC).Safe Cycling! Edited June 24, 2013 by FanieFiets r0adrunner and Micky Mouse 2
