Monthly General Meeting Information

July 13 Naults Cyclery, Manchester

August 10 Dover Cyclery Dover

For 2009 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.

Those who traveled to their local and not so local bike shops had a wonderful opportunity to meet new bicyclists, get acquainted with a new bike shop, and perhaps even better, lust over the latest bicycles and accessories. By having the meetings in various towns, we hope to attract more members, guests, and potential members while introducing more people to our sponsors.

Short programs will be offered by the sponsors, but not a “sales pitch.” On the other hand, if money is burning a hole in your pocket, they’ll be more than happy to solve that problem! Enjoyable and informative evenings are planned in a low-key bicycling environment. Since most of the shops don’t have large auditoriums, you might want to bring a folding chair if you have trouble standing. Most importantly, come and bring a friend to introduce to our wonderful world of bicycling.

All 2009 meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of the month, March through October, from 7 - 9 p.m.

Manchester Area Ride Leaders Needed

The Manchester GSW group meeting at Naults Cyclery wishes to increase the riding options for the different riding levels which are showing up for the 5:30 PM Wednesday rides. We wish to develop a series of rides along the same lines as the Concord group which has several different rides going out. We need more ride leaders for fast and slow rides.
