I am honored that you have confidence in me to represent the club and be a part of the many benefits it brings you and the community. I have benefited from my membership over the years and now it is time to return the favor. We will be busy promoting the sport of cycling with our own nationally recognized 3 State, 3 Mountain century as well as the growing Sequatchie Valley Century. We will continue to lobby local governments for safe urban road routes, encourage commuting and educate beginners and youngsters on safe riding. This year I am looking foreword to volunteering and experiencing the other side of cycling events. If you are not planning on riding these events here is a great opportunity for you to do some feel good charity work and hang with your friends at the same time. I still will be getting plenty of riding in, just look at our riding calendar there are rides going on almost every day of the year. I will be leading by example, riding and encouraging members to step it up a notch and ride farther and climb higher than before. There really is a lot to be said for the slogan made famous by Nike “JUST DO IT”. Most of us still have more upside potential in our fitness level no matter what our age. We are blessed to live in a bicycle friendly community (thanks to devoted past & present club members) with ideal cycling terrain and climate mild enough that there should be no off season. Let’s not limit our cool weather riding the weekend, put on some extra layers of clothing, hook up your lights and hit the trails and back roads and have some fun. In the words of the late Freddy Mercury “GET ON YOUR BIKE AND RIDE”
