For the first time since this ride began many weeks ago, it will be canceled for Tuesday, May 15th. Assuming good weather, it’ll be back next week!
Led by Pamela Blalock, Tuesday rides are well-chosen routes so as to log scenic miles, have a nice stop for lunch and return to the Studio by 3-4 pm.

What to bring:
- Items that too often seem to get left at home:
- Helmet
- Riding shoes
- I.D.
- Appropriate clothes for changing temperatures. The difference between the beginning of the ride and end of the ride can be 10-15 degrees. Be prepared.
- Tool kit including at least one appropriate tube. A good toolkit includes: at least one tube, two tire levers, CO2 cartridge or frame pump, CO2 inflator, patch kit, and multi-tool that includes the basic five tools. While we won’t leave you behind if you get a flat or mechanical, it is good form to have the tools with you.
- PLEASE BE KIND, if the roads are wet put on a back fender that covers enough of your rear wheel so that no one has to eat liquified road grit!
Don’t forget that if you’d like any mechanical help, or service of any kind before the ride, send us an email and we’ll gladly be at the Studio early to help with anything you need on the fly.
Waiver: RSC requires a signed waiver before your first ride. We will have waivers at the Studio for you to complete and sign, and you can review a copy of our waiver here.
Parking: If you’re driving to participate in the ride, make sure that you do not park in the Lemon Grass restaurant parking lot; you will get towed. Fortunately, there is a ton of parking in the area–and it is really inexpensive.
By the way, here’s where you can find our comprehensive list of weekly rides.
We hope to see you there–or somewhere out on the road.
