Monthly General Meeting Information

For 2010 we will continue the concept of holding our monthly meetings at our sponsoring bike shops. The idea has been well received by both the shops and the membership, although we would appreciate a greater number of members attending.
All 2010 meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of the month, March through October, from 7 -9 p.m.

Meeting agenda information

The GSW is looking for a Social Secretary

The Board position of Social Secretary is currently open. Could that be for you? If you think you may be interested in this position and would like to find out more about the duties involved, contact any board member or email GSW-Office@comcast.net

Turtle Leaders Needed!

Can you commit to leading Turtle riders for even only one Wednesday this coming summer? It is an important way to support and encourage these cyclists! Leaders unfamiliar with the area can choose from a variety of cue sheets to help guide their group on an appropriate route.

Eugene (a reliable turtle leader) expects to lead on Saturday mornings, but he cannot attend any Wednesday rides because of a change in his work schedule. Can you help?

Thank You!

2009 GSW Annual Banquet and Awards
Saturday, November 14th 2009

We shared good food and good company at our very enjoyable Banquet.
Special Thanks to our Banquet and Awards Chairman, Kirk Hutcheon. It was fun to get together with our cycling friends as the season ends. Our guest speaker was Marty Basch, editor of "Windswept", the quarterly bulletin of the Mt. Washington Observatory. He told us captivating stories about his bicycling adventures.
