Cycle Claremont

It is cold and wet where I am and, from the weather reports, I understand a little wet back home in Claremont today. Clearly extended time out of state for the holidays (and by the way I hope everyone has had a terrific one thus far) and keeping up to date on all the local happenings, do not work well together. I understand there was some confusion about the December ride; by not recruiting a temporary volunteer to take over in my absence, I will have to take the blame for that one. Cycle Claremont will be undertaking a bit of reorganizing in an attempt to get more community involvement and participation – if all goes well we will put a ride together before the end of January. If you are interested in lending a hand contact Larry Scheetz, or leave a comment here. Everyone currently involved is committed to seeing this thing grow and become a positive aspect for the community and its members. Until next time, I wish everyone a Happy and Fulfilling New Year.

Pumpkin cookies and granola bars, long hair and longer beards, capes, green skin, an elegant blue gown, a witches hat, rats, a basket of brains, and ghostly chalk art. It was the October Cycle Claremont ride and clearly just in time for Halloween.

Thanks need to be made to everyone who contributed – the baker, the chalk artists, the volunteers at the sign-in table, and of course the riders for coming out. Special thanks this month to Corey and Coates Cyclery for donating prizes to the kids costume and bike decorating contest – we will hold another contest at a future ride and try for a better turnout. I really do want to hand them out, they are some great prizes, so watch for future announcements.

We keep looking for cooler weather; maybe November. It wasn’t really too warm today, unless you happened to be wearing a knee-length beard with giant spiders entangled in it. See everyone next month at the latest, and in the meantime, keep riding.

Happy Halloween, from Cycle Claremont.

Yes, homemade treats. Another reason to come out to the ride this Sunday. I just received word that there will be homemade delectables with a Halloween flavor. Miss out, and you’ll regret it.
