We have been asked to put together a couple of training rides for 12 to 15 year old&#39;s and wanted to see if there is interest from other GCC members.<div><br></div><div>The objective will be to teach them to ride properly in a group, learn rotations, how to call obstructions and general group ride etiquette.  James Thompson who leads the Developers ride has offered to teach!!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Riders should be able to ride at a steady 14+ miles per hour for about 18 (ish) miles.  They should have proper road bikes and be competent cyclists.</div><div><br></div><div>As always, helmets are obligatory and junior riders should be accompanied on the ride by a parent or guardian.  Flat repair equipment is recommended.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We propose to meet at the Rochelle Trail Head on the Hawthorne Trail at 8:30 am on August 12th.  We will ride to Hawthorne and back which is the flat part of the trail and about 18 miles round trip.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please let me know if you would be interested.</div><div><br></div><div>The ultimate objective is to form a junior MS150 team for the Cycle to the Shore event in 2013</div><div><br></div><div>Unless you have Club wide comments, please email me directly at <a target="_top" href="mailto:tony@gobikeworks.com">tony@gobikeworks.com</a></div>
