NOTES:
11 folks showed up for the "meetup"
Mitch - Polka ride?
India - "Spring thaw idea
Suggested we help promote Bicycle Benefits (possibly on our posters)
Saris Gala ride - Start at Willy Bikes on W Wash & have a contest of who can be
most "Creatively Visible" w/lights (i.e. X-mas lights, other light options),
clothing, reflective stuff, etc. If you'd like to ride but not go to the Gala,
alternative route will get you to Barriques in Fitchburg (need ride leader for
alternative route).
Bike to work week - suggested that we give an award to the employer who is most
accommodating to winter cyclists (i.e. keeps the bike racks clear of snow,
provides changing area, etc.)
Bike Winter fashion show - we discussed & agreed that we need to have a fashion
show earlier in the season, to demo more practical clothing & accessories,
instead of the more fun/goofy fashion show that we may do later in the winter
in conjunction with the cyclocross championships - We need a VENUE & QUICK!
Michael - Pancake ride(s)
Good idea would be to "adopt" a bike path to help clear snow or do some other
type of community service in helping clear snow from intersections or traffic
islands that get snow plowed in, or dig out a bus stop, etc.
Upcoming events:
-Chronometro fall ride - Sat, 10/22
-Saris Gala - Sat, 11/12 (Madison Bike Winter ride starting at 5 pm from Willy
Bikes on W Wash)
