FISH FRY & SWIM!!! Ride Tomorrow, Saturday, Sept 4th, 9am until....
Don't forget about the fish fry at Steve & Kelly Getts' lake house tomorrow. Meet at New Hope at 9am. Bring a dish to pass and your bathing suit. Fish, drinks and other stuff to eat if you don't like fish tableware will be provided. There will be several vehicles at New Hope at 9am to ferry the food you bring so you won't have to haul a trailer with food in it into a 20mph wind for 17 miles :-).
Apple Cider Century Registration Filling Up!!
I was informed yesterday that there is a comment on the Apple Cider Century Facebook page that they expect to have 5,000 riders registered by Labor Day, at which point they cut off registration. So if you haven't registered and plan to ride in this year's Apple Cider Century, please get your registration in as soon as possible.
Thanks!

It's Time to Register for the Apple Cider Century
Its time to register and start planning for the Apple Cider Century This year's ride is on September 26th. Some of us will get up early that morning and drive up to Three Oaks, MI, and some will spend the night Saturday night (that will be me and Tammy). Then we'll meet up on Sunday morning and ride together. Be thinking about what you'd rather do and let us know, so we can plan.
Weekly Club Ride
This is our main ride where we want everyone to come ride together. It helps keep us unified.
We do a short 5-7 mile loop at a pace everyone should be able to keep up with, even young children, followed by a longer, faster loop. The length of the second loop will be adjusted based on available light as the season progresses.
Broken Spokes Fish Fry Saturday, Sept 4th
Steve and Kelly Getts have invited Broken Spokes Bicycle Club to their place on the lake for a Fish Fry September 4th! The plan is to meet at the church at 9am for the normal Saturday morning ride, and ride to the Getts' lake cottage (it's about 17 miles from the church). If you don't want to ride, you can drive and meet us there. We'll get a map out before the date. We can swim (Bring a swimsuit. Spandex probably isn't a good idea...). Afterwards we will eat and generally do what you do at a fish fry.
1st Training Ride for Apple Cider Century
Two groups will train simultaneously. One longer (30 miles). One shorter. If you plan to try for 100 miles, do the long one. If you intend to do something shorter, do the short one. I'll lead the long one. Tammy will lead the shorter ride. We plan to do our training rides on Sunday afternoons. We'll discuss which Sundays and what time subsequent rides will take place. For those who can't make it on Sundays, Jeremiah is still planning to do rides on Saturday mornings. Watch for posts.

Broken Spokes Well-Represented at the Chamber Challenge
We appreciate everyone who was able to participate in the Chamber Olympic Challenge Ride last Friday evening. Out of roughly 20 participants, Broken Spokes accounted for 11 riders! We pretty much swept the medals in most categories simply because in many categories we had the only participants. But it was fun! We learned a few things for the next time we do an organized ride, like make the marks on the road bigger :-). And next year we'll call it a Race with UNSANCTIONED in parentheses after it.
