Hello Ladies
Thank you all for making April a great month. As you may know Every April The Ladies start over with Low miles and informational Clinics, based and geared for the new rider. This April we had 20 new riders come out and join us, Thank You. It's been a great month of riding and getting to know each other. We had our First of Three Tire changing clinic which everyone did great.
In the month of May we will cover bike handling skills, how to drink from a water bottle while riding and how to be a safe cyclist. The May clinic will be held right after the Bike ride on May 21,2011 covering basic Bike Maintenance.
May will be a bit hotter than April so please take care of yourself by continuing to drink plenty of water, along with some sort of electrolyte drinks. Eat a good dinner and a light breakfast before the ride. Bring with you some sort of nutrition(power bar, Luna bar, almonds, PB&J, etc) to eat during the ride and with in 30 min to an hour after the ride eat some sort of protein. All of which will Aid in a great ride and a speedy recovery.
The ride Calendar for May is listed on the right side of the page.
Without you this ride could not be
Thank you and Have a Great Month
The Ladies

Mummy Loop to the Gate 4/30/2011
Good Morning Ladies
This Saturday Mummy Loop to the gate bike ride will leave from the Tribe on the NE side of Indian School and Miller, in the Fry's Food parking lot. Meeting at 6 am ready to ride at 6:15 am. We will have a long route and a short route. There will be a Tire changing clinic right after the bike ride, we will meet on the covered sidewalk to the left of Tribe. If you cant attend this Saturday don't worrier, we will have this clinic at least 3 times in the next few months so everyone can get comfortable changing a tire.
As we all know the temp has started to rise so please prep yourself by drinking plenty of good fluids this week and prep your water bottles by filling them 1/2 way and placing them in the freezer on a slant, then top them off the morning of the ride.. As the summer progress you may want to prep your water bottle a week in advance. why you ask? The longer the water bottle is in the freezer the more solid the ice becomes and will take longer to melt. Yes the thermal bottles can be placed in the freezer, just don't drop them frozen.. They will split. Yes you can place the camelpac water bladder in the freezer, but you have to make sure that the lid and the straw hole wont freeze.... for this Saturday fill it with Ice and place it in the freezer. Eat a good dinner and a light breakfast also bring with some sort of nutrition( luna bar, power bar, almonds, pb&j etc...) All rides are 3 to 4 hr.
If you have any questions please ask via email or phone.
See you Saturday
Have a great Week
