Here is some info on the End of Season Pot Luck

Traditionally, the ThursdayBike End of Season get-together was a Pot Luck AND a Bike Cleaning Party. Everyone brought their bikes, cleaning rags, Windex and Simple Green to clean up their bikes before putting the bikes away for the winter season. We gathered at someone's big, clean garage (Jackie/Lloyd, Roland/Bette, Del/Marilyn, Pat/John H. have been the past hosts) and transferred the dirt and grease from the bikes to our hands and shirts. Then - the eating began.

Last year, we agreed that the eating/drinking part of the evening was less work, so we just have a policy that you must either clean your bike before the party or promise to do it soon afterwards. I will pass out copies of the "Do-it-Yourself Guide to Bike Cleaning and Inspection" if you need one for this year's chore. It just makes sense to have a clean and tidy bike, with all the parts and troubles fixed before that first beautiful day in the spring when we hit the roads again!!

So, bring yourself and a guest and a appetizer, main dish or dessert and BYOB, too (no bikes required..) to the Pot Luck this year at Leslie and Warren Schomaker's home overlooking Jackson Village and the Presidentials (Directions will be posted later).

Saturday November 21st
Ready to party at 6:00 pm

Entertainment?? This year, so many riders have taken bicycling vacations that there must be a lot of great photos out there of happy cyclists. Will you share them with everyone???? You may also just send some of you and your family/friends cycling in the valley, as we all know we live in a fantastic vacation destination.

Email your favorite photos of your trip to marianneborowski@yahoo,com and include the location, date, miles, weather, names and # of participants and any other info or photo captions. Roland will use his cinematography skills once again to organize the photos and set the whole thing to music.

I hope to see you there!!
