We had to cancel the Tuesday night on August 2 due to excessive heat and it will be postponed this week from August 9th to August 11th because we have a club meeting on Tuesday at 7:30 at Ballydoyles Pub in Downers.

I am not a member but I wanted to join you on July 26 and no one was at McCollum Park when I was there shortly before 6p.m. tonite. The ride was still listed on your calender. It would be nice if all the leaders for rides could leave their email addresses for contact for situations like this. are you still running the Tuesday night no-drop ride?

We do have beginner rides, if you haven't already discovered them this late in the season! There's the Sunday Joyride and the Tuesday night ride, both at slower speeds. The Joyride is particularly meant for beginners and folks who are uneasy about riding on roads with cars. We don't publish our members list but once you join, you can see everyone in our Google Group. There are some members who are visible on our Facebook page, too. We have some pix on that Facebook page as well. www.facebook.com/downersgrovebicycleclub. Hi Patty,

I haven't ridden in quite a few years so I'd like to start again slowly. Is there a list of membership benefits? Or a members list? Photos of past rides? Thanks, Patty Are there any beginner rides?

Is there a list of membership benefits? Or a members list?
Photos of past rides?

Thanks,
