STCC 2014 Fresh Start Ride
Shawnee Trail Cycling Club
Its a new year and lets all kick it off with the STCC Fresh Start Ride. Once we reached a critical mass in our membership, we found that it made sense to organize a ride on New Year’s morning – to start everyone rolling with their fitness goals and to give you a chance to ride with old friends and possibly make some new. We wanted the distance to be challenging, but not overwhelming – get those legs spinning. We think you’ll enjoy the ride and it has to be warmer than last years (please)!
We’re planning three pace groups and distances. This is all about fun and participation, so if there are enough that want an additional distance at a slower pace – let us know [click here]. The routes are being…
