Hello PCC;
I am new to Prescott and have met a few of you.
Previously is was active with the Arizona Outdoor Travel Club in Phoenix.
They have a section for biking.
Focusing specifically on Mtn Biking. Our philosophy was that you needed to
keep recruiting new folks into the group to replenish those that leave.
Since Mtn biking requires special skills and training, we did that by
conducting workshops twice a year for new riders.
Also, all rides were graded by beginner, intermediate and advanced. I
considered myself to be upper intermediate for Phoenix Mtn trails. However,
most of the rides I have joined here in Prescott have been very difficult
for me to keep pace. I would like to see PCC organize beginner and
intermediate level rides and advertise them to recruit new members. Peavine
is not a Mtn Bike ride and while it is a good place for new riders to start,
I would not consider it a beginning ride. I know the advanced riders don't
like waiting for beginners, but for the sake of growing the club they need
to slow down.
Finally, we all need to get together. There are PCC rides, and then two of
the bike stores organizing their own rides.
Just my 3 cents.
Pete

Subject: Prescott Cycling Club Is Looking For You!
Do you like to ride your bike?
Do you like to socialize with other cyclists?
Would you like to see more cycling related activities in the tri-city area?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, Prescott Cycling Club is
looking for you!
The club wants you to have all this along with others who are seeking
cycling fun in a club that wants to serve the needs of the cycling
community.
Prescott Cycling Club has a board of directors. The club is incorporated and
has by-laws. This PCC board gets to work with the club members to plan and
post cycling club activities including:
Mountain Bike Rides
Road Rides
Race training
Out of town trips
Multiple day trips like Utah, Colorado, California, etc.
Camping trips
Picnics
Trail design, building and maintenance
Social events, parties
Skull Valley Loop Challenge Road Ride
We want you to think about what you would like the club to offer. Talk to
your friends about it. Contact current board members with your ideas or if
you have questions to ask them about this. Ask to be on the ballot for the
upcoming election. You can be on the board and see your vision of the club
become reality.
Just send your name and e-mail address to me or any other current board
member. You can find the board members' e-mail addresses in the sent to list
on this e-mail.
The new board will take over in January 2010.
Think about this! You could do it and you could do it with your friends and
make this the club you have always wanted to be a part of.
