Perfect temp for afternoon ride!

3-30-11: Last Sunday's afternoon ride saw perfect temps (compared to the "cool" weather the last time we rode in the afternoon). The time change certainly helped!

Check out some pixs from our FB album HERE.

We'll have TCF fliers at the Redlands Classic this weekend--at the Beaver Medical Group booth and a couple of interns will be passing out fliers during the Sat. AM public races to families to help promote the club.

CU at our next ride, APRIL 10, at 8:30 AM!

Next ride: March 27

3-6-11: Just a reminder that our next ride will be on the regularly scheduled 4th Sun., March 27, 3:30 PM, meeting at Souplantation parking lot. This is just before the Redlands Classic so get pumped up for that and ride!

3-6-11 ride with 2 new riders!

3-6-11: Had an "off-schedule" ride on the first Sun. of this month, resulting in a smaller-than-usual group but never-the-less, we still had a nice core group of people riding with us.

We also had 2 people join us for the first time, Nancy M., (left) who I used to play Ultimate Frisbee with almost 10 years ago, and David (right), who found our blog by googling us. Unfortunately, Nancy had some mechanical difficulties that were un-fixable so she had to walk back to her car (she's planning on getting a new bike now!).

Here's an interesting sign I found near Mt. Rubidoux. Gives you an idea of what destinations are on this Santa Ana bike path.

I hope we have the same gorgeous weather we had this AM for the Blue Mountain city-sponsored hike in Grand Terrace next Sun., March 13, at 8:00 AM (end of Palm Ave. and Honey Hill Dr.). Hope to see you there!

March ride dates (slight change)

3-2-11: Due to the Blue Mountain Hike (8:00 AM, Grand Terrace, corner of Palm Ave. and Honey Hill Drive) on March 13, our AM ride will be on the FIRST Sun. this month, March 6, 8:30 AM. Please note the change from our usual 2nd Sun. schedule.

Our afternoon ride will be the usual 4th Sun., March 27, 3:30 PM.

Hope you can join us on both the rides and the Blue Mountain Hike on the 13th!

1st afternoon ride!

2-27-11: Enjoyed our first afternoon ride. Great to see so many kids on this ride, even though it took a bit longer than anticipated (last group came in after sunset...brrrrr!) The brown rice and pinto bean soup at Souplantation was a great way to warm up!

Check out the short video of our ride. Enjoy and hope to see you on our next ride in March!

Jan. 16 & Feb. 13 rides

2-14-11: Had great weather for a ride yesterday! Here's a short video clip of it, along with a video clip from our Jan. 16 ride as well. Enjoy and hope to you see you on our afternoon ride, Feb. 27, 3:30 PM!

Afternoon ride rained out!

1-30-11: Our first afternoon ride was rained out! After a gorgeous week of weather, it would have to rain today. Go figure! Guess it wasn't meant to be.

I'd like to thank Ramon Gonzalez, the Operation's Manager for Cyclery USA, and his son, for showing up right on time and hanging out there till a bit after 4 PM. We talked underneath the back door of his minivan out of the rain, just in case TCF members showed up. No one did, so shortly after 4 PM, I called it cancelled and we parted ways.

We'll try again for our first afternoon ride next time, Feb. 27!

Our next ride will be the 2nd Sun. (after Superbowl Sunday), on Feb. 13, meeting at 8:30 AM and leaving for the trail at 9:00 AM. Hope you can join us and that it's nice weather!
