UPDATE: The Wednesday Night Rides now have their own web site:
http://www.wnbr.org/.
As such, you should point your browser there for the
schedules and all the latest WNR news.
About the Rides
Ride leadership is shared by group members. If you have a
questions about a ride, please call the leader for that ride. The name
and phone number are listed with the ride.
Caveat: Many of the entries in the table below are
linked to cue sheets. Each of those cue sheets might
correspond to the ride that's planned, or it might correspond to a
ride from that location that was done in years past, or it might
correspond to some other ride that happens to start from that
location. The details of each ride are up to the particular ride
leader, who almost certainly hasn't contacted us to ensure
that the linked cue sheet corresponds to the ride she has planned, and
we most certainly haven't contacted them to check for such
correspondence. The best we offer is that if we do the ride and it
differs from what was linked, we'll try to remember to change it
before next year's schedule is up-- but, of course, it might change
again next year.

Please note:
- We are an informal group of friendly bicyclists - We do not scout the routes or sweep the rides! In order to have a good time (i.e., finish
before sunset), you should be able to ride twenty hilly miles
in two hours and know how to follow a map and cue sheet, on your
own if necessary.
- For everybody's safety, please be alert when
riding in a group. Ride a straight line, and look behind you before
stopping or passing, especially at the start when everyone is
bunched together.
- On these country roads, be particularly careful
turning corners, where sand and gravel can cause you to skid.
When cars approach from ahead or behind, alert your fellow riders
and pull into single file. ("Car up!" and "Car
back!" are the standard warnings.)
Recommended equipment:
- Bicycle helmet
- Multi-speed bicycle in good condition
- Water (and maybe a little food)
- Spare inner tube, tire irons and a tire pump
- Rain gear, windbreaker or sweater depending on
the weather
- Cell Phone
- A copy of previous year's cue sheet (if you have
one).
