The Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, BikeWalk Virginia Roanoke Chapter, RIDE Solutions, and a host of dedicated volunteers and partners are working to make Bike Month special in 2008. Look for sponsored neighborhood rides, bike clinics, helmet giveaways, and other events, including Bike to Work Day routes. Volunteers are needed to help with neighborhood rides. If you can help, contact Christine Visscher at CVisscher@goodwillvalleys.com
For a listing of BIKE MONTH events, times and locations visit either of the calendars listed below.

TAKE THE PLEDGE!
And don't forget to take the Clean Commute Pledge! If you can't celebrate Bike to Work Day, then try carpooling with a coworker, taking the bus, walking, or even telecommuting. Take the pledge at: http://www.ridesolutions.org/cleancommute/pledge.asp
RIDE LEADERS NEEDED FOR BIKE MONTH-LET'S FILL THE RIDE CALENDAR
The BRBC wants to offer a full schedule of rides for all skill levels every week in May to help promote cycling and get people riding. We want to be able to start announcing to the general public in April that the BRBC will have rides for all ages and all skill levels during Bike Month. So, we need people to go ahead and start posting rides for the month of May now. We need a good variety of ride types, from beginner to advanced; kids to older adults. You may lead any type of ride that you want. The rides should be scattered throughout the area, and may be offered any day or time of the week. Let your imagination run wild. Anything goes. The goal is to have fun, be safe and get people riding.
Submitting a ride is very easy. Simply go to the ride calendar at: http://www.brbcva.org/RideCalendar.asp
Click where it says: To add a ride to the calendar, click here for the online ride submittal.
Then fill in the ride submittal form.
It is important to try to describe your ride accurately so that there are no surprises to those that attend.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. With everyone's involvement we can make Bike Month a tremendous success and hopefully introduce some new people to the enjoyment and benefits of the wonderful world of cycling.

MS150 "TOUR DE VINE" June 7th and 8th 2008 in Charlottesville, VA
Join the team today. Right now we have 6 riders registered. With the BRBC membership approaching 400 members, we believe we can certainly put a team together of at least 12 members. This ride will have close to 800 riders on it. A large group of members all wearing the BRBC Jersey will make the club look good.
For more information, see the out of town rides section http://www.brbcva.org/OutOfTownRides.asp or contact Steve Schlafman at steve.schlafman@ge.com or phone 540-521-4559

Be sure to check out the events calendar half way down the page. It is full of exciting cycling related events you won't want to miss.
The Out of Town Rides section has lots of opportunities to explore cycling adventures with fellow cyclists.
The classifieds are a great way to sell or buy.
The forum is a limitless source of information about where to ride, advocacy & safety issues, and club discussions.
Be sure to create your own log-in and password to have access to club documents, member list, your profile and the forum. You will need to create a log-in for the forum too, but it can be the same as your member log-in.
