2017 Bike Hiker Tours from Tour Director, Larry Robinson

2017 Benefit and Event Rides

Each year, a number of benefit and event rides are included in our Ride Schedule to encourage members to support our local cycling clubs (e.g.Sacramento Wheelmen) and to provide opportunities for members to participate in other organized events, set goals and challenges. To be included in our Ride Schedule, the ride must meet distance parameters of approximately no more than 100 miles from Sacramento (unless included as part of a Club Tour), be available to all members (no lotteries), no fund raising is permitted. A Sacramento Bike Hiker must serve as “sign-in leader” responsible for the sign-in roster at the event. Club members may receive club miles for participating in an event ride listed in the Ride Schedule if they register and pay the entry fee, sign-in on the club roster, and complete one of the official routes. Members are heartily encouraged to wear Bike Hiker apparel to show club affiliation.

Because of the increasing popularity of these rides, many now sell out before the ride date. To facilitate your goal planning and to give as much advance notice as possible, the following benefit and event rides have been approved for inclusion in our 2017 Ride Schedule. The following rides meet the requirements and have member support. We will continue to monitor member participation in these events to determine whether they will be included in the schedule next year. If you plan to participate, register as early as possible to ensure your ride reservation. Dates will be verified as the year progresses.

RIDE GRADING CODE

THREE FACTORS make up the ease or difficulty of a ride – not counting such chance factors as traffic, road condi-tions, and weather. These factors are important consider-ations for riders when selecting rides in which to partici-pate. No rider will knowingly be left behind alone. However, riders should NOT sign up for rides beyond their ability. Many of our rides are 30+ miles at a pace of 12+ miles per hour (mph). “Biting off more than you can chew” can result in discouragement or sore muscles, and invites accidents.

• Terrain Elevation - Represented by an alpha letterA - Steep - Mostly steep grades: strong riders onlyB - Steep/Moderate - Some relief from steep gradesC - Moderate - Hilly; a challenge for the average riderD - Moderate/Easy - Rolling hills, a challenge for beginnersE - Easy - Some gentle grades, but no problemsF - Flat - As if any route is really flat

• Distance - Represented by the actual number of miles• Pace - Will range in speed between about 12 mph to

20+ mph. Riders tend to increase their pace as they gain experience, fitness, and are challenged by dif-ficulty. Beginners and novices are strongly advised to select easy and short distance rides to start with, and progress up the grading scale with experience and capability.

Bike Hikers Meetup Group

At the May 2016 club meeting it was decided to create a Meetup.com group to let potential members know about our wonderful club’s activi-ties, and to diversify our membership so as to be able to offer a wider range of rides.What is Meetup.com? An on-line organization of over 26 million members in 250,000 groups. It was created to make it easier for people to connect with others in their commu-nity.How is it working? As of now, there are over 550 members in our Meetup.com group, including many current Bike Hiker Club members. Evaluation of the group shows that it has brought the Bike Hikers Club new members. Impact on ride attendance and the club in general is still being looked at. Assistant Organizers: Thank you to the club members who are entering rides into the site: Dave Abbott, Phil Agur, Becky Neal, Dennis Nolan, Linda Noland, Kathy Wright, and Ed Sclare. How do I Join? The quickest way to explore and join our Meetup.com group is to enter the exact url into your browser window: http://www.meetup.com/Sacramento-Bike-Hikers/ Give it a try! Please contact Jerry Beckett, the Organizer, with any comments or questions about this group:

916-214-3203 or [email protected]

We can get caught in the rain, but we don’t pur-posely start out in it. Poor visibility and slick roads make riding dangerous. And nobody likes clean-ing up a messy bike. If in doubt about a cancella-tion of a ride because of rain, call the ride leader

Message from the EditorJerry Beckett

Something to help us usher in the new quarter:

“It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels. “~ Heinz Stucke

“It never gets easier; you just go faster. "~ Greg LeMond

“No Sweep” rides designated by this symbol tell potential riders that they need to be self-suffi-cient. No one will be following behind to look out for them should they need assistance. It tells them that they shouldn’t consider this ride unless they

would probably do it on their own or with a friend. Basically it’s a ride for experienced riders.However, ride leaders are encouraged to arrange regroup points on the route to allow riders to stay together. Riders on “No Sweep” riders are encouraged to ride together and check with stopped riders to see if they need assistance. Ride leaders will still check to make sure everyone returns safely.
