The Club also has scheduled rides open to
anyone. You must have an approved helmet and it is a good idea to
be self-sufficient with water, spare tube and/or patch kit, pump and whatever else you
think you may need. If you don't know the route, tell someone so you won't get
dropped in unfamiliar territory.
