2012 Monday Night Bike Rides
Each Monday evening at 6:00 we meet to exercise, and than socialize. Each ride is sponsored by a member
who agrees to mark the route, provide maps, and a gathering place when we finish. Rides are available at
all levels from 10 to 30 miles, Helmets are mandatory as is the sign out/ sign in policy to ensure that everyone
is accounted for each evening. So plan to arrive before 6:00 to prepare your bike sign out and ride with
others.

Directions to the rides will be posted on our web site and newsletters. If you are interested in sponsoring a
ride, contact Kathy Amenta at k.pinkpanther@yahoo.com; 860-306-9902.
