Starting September -- Second Saturday Cycling, Starting from Big Mac
Staring Saturday 13 September 2014, I'm hosting a cycling ride for everyone. Here are the specifics:

- Second Saturday every month, rain or shine or snow, holiday or not.
- Meet at MacArthur High School (Big Mac) front parking lot.
- Ride 10 miles or so. I'll post the route the night before. We'll almost always hit Keith Weiss Park, for sure.
- Open to everyone, but if someone comes under age 16, I want him to be with someone over 18 for contact purposes, etc. Anyone -- gender, nationality, ethnicity, ability, age -- is welcome and encouraged. Make friends, take pictures, burn a few calories.
- We'll stop half-way at a local business for aguas frescas or tacos or whatever, then return to Big Mac.
- Twitter, Instragram, other hashtag is #aldinecycle
Rules
- Helmets required. You can purchase inexpensive helmets at Academy Sports (a Texas company).
- Water required. Please reduce, reuse, recycle. We'll also stop to refill.
- This is not a race. Everyone starts, everyone finishes. It will be a comfortable pace and no one will be left behind.
- Bring an extra tube or patch kit.
- Wear white top because (as my 1302 civically engaged friends know) Aldine has no bike lanes.
So get your bike in order -- fix it, get the tubes patched, clean the gears and chains, maybe a old t-shirt on that old saddle. Straighten the bars. If needed, we'll have a clinic the week before to get bikes in shape. Spread the word.
NOTE
This is not sponsored by LSC-NH, LSCS, SCE, or anything else. Just friends cycling and enjoying the roads.
