On Saturday, August 16th, the Roadies will ride with NCCC member Paul Hoffmann, who recently contracted ALS. Like some of you, I've had the pleasure of knowing Paul for many cycling years. We welcome all who desire to support Paul on this slower, more thoughtful ride, according to Paul's pace. The route and deets will be posted shortly on NCCC's website. We certainly hope he will return to San Diego soon and ride again with us.

When trying to join the NCCC team it asks for a password as the team is marked private.

Jim--this occurs because the option was good from April to sometime in June. It has expired.

Steve,

A quick update to my above post: I now have my fitting business up and running, so I am no longer taking volunteers. However, I will give all NCCC members a discounted price on a bike fitting. For more information, please email me at sdbikefit@gmail.com or check out my instagram page @sdbikefit.

Please send a scan of the completed waiver to:

Kay Pfeiffer - secretary@northcountycycleclub.org

If you don't have a scanner, send an email and let me know, we can meet at a Saturday start and I can retrieve from you at that time. 

As an ally to the LGBTQ community and Training Ride Leader with AIDS/Lifecycle for two years, there was only one incident I personally experienced on the 545 mile/7 Day ride when on Day 3, we were threatened with our lives by such an individual. He "wanted to kill us and hoped we die along the road". A photo of license plate was taken and given to the ride security team. In this case, we were changing a flat under a tree when this occurred. We were so taken back by the threat that we must have simply looked dumbfounded and had no response. Fortunately, this person in a truck moved on and we were able to take a photo of his license and I believe the ALC Security team reported it to the local authorities.
Fortunately, we were only a few miles from the finish for that day. This was on a route from King City to Paso Robles. On this particular day, this groups raises over $70,000 for the Bradley Elementary School who holds an event along the way, right in the heart of ranch and farming country. This group has the most amazing heart, and I can say they are not easily shaken. Best to just be dumbfounded and let them move along. These people often do carry guns. This type of hate can be very scary.     

Great Back Mount Bike Rack - I used this on my 3 Series BMW for quite a while and is in excellent condition.
$40 or Best offer. Have key and Owner's manual with Fit Guide. Kay Pfeiffer 760-670-5811

Having lived in FB for eight years, there's still plenty of red-neck mentality to be experienced by
anyone crossing this type of person's path.  Sad, but not surprised.  Probably best to ignore such
creatures.  I personally know of red-necks that carry weapons in their cars, so you don't want to
aggressively accost such individuals.  My $.02

Just a friendly reminder that all ride leaders need to have on hand a new rider waiver at the beginning
of a ride. You never know when a new rider will show up.  Thanks for your cooperation.

Steve
