Ride season is fast approaching! We will start our Weekend Ride Calendar in March, and I have begun to call members who have already agreed to lead a weekend ride this year.
When I am out riding, I often get to talk to folks in and out of the club and sometimes I hear 'their rides are too hard for me' or 'I wish they would do easier social rides where I live'.
Well, of course, their and they are you and you can win up to two $50 gift certificates for Pearl Izumi goods at the Pearl Izumi Store in South Lake Tahoe this year by signing up and leading a Weekend Ride.
Rules
Signup at least two weeks in advance and Lead a Weekend Ride between March and October and get one chance (name in the hat) for the reward each time you do so. Leading a ride is so easy and I'll help you with any details. You get to choose where, when, pace, road or mountain, route... everything, and you may just meet some new ride buddies that share your riding interests.
The route should be within a reasonable distance our Tahoe/Carson Region and not one of our leaderless Show and Go Weekly rides.
How
This does not include short term Ride Board posts. To signup, call me at 775 901-6043 or email me at ridedirector@altaalpina.org. Tell me the date, and ride info, and I'll place it on the Website and Newsletter Weekend Ride Calendar for you.
The Reward
There will be two $50 rewards. One will go to the club member who leads the most Weekend Calendar Rides and in the case of a tie; a high card draw will determine the winner. The second $50 reward will be determined by a drawing at the end of the year club party. Winners need not be present but it would be great to see you there. If you lead the most rides and your name gets drawn out of the hat... you win both rewards!
Cancellations
Clearly, weather and busy schedules happen. If you find that you can't lead the ride due to other obligations, you can keep your chance to win by finding another leader. The two of you can figure out how the split reward if you win. If you can't find another leader or if weather cancels, call or email me and we will reschedule so you can keep your name in the hat.
Let's have a Great Ride Year!
