RIDE MORE - RIDE BETTER PROGRAM

RECREATIONAL RIDER of the YEAR 2011

Eileen Griffiths, for leading the rides and her dedication and encouragement.
Overall winners were: Helene Motyka (3,415) and Frank Brincka (4,736).

PURPOSE

The purpose of this initiative is to provide incentives for beginner and intermediate riding members to strengthen their riding fitness and cycling skills.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

To have participating members keep a monthly log of miles ridden.
To encourage club recreational riders to ride more often.
To acknowledge club members who volunteer to lead club recreational rides.

PROGRAM GOALS

To reward club recreational rider members who record the most miles ridden each month and over the cycling year.
To recognize club members who complete charity and century rides.
To acknowledge club members who volunteer to lead club recreational rides.

PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Miles reported as ridden is underscored by the HONOR SYSTEM.
Points will be awarded for reporting the most miles ridden each month.
Only actual road or mountain bike miles ridden count (sorry, no indoor trainer miles).
You can only win two consecutive months. If you win a third month in a row, we will still log your miles for the year end award, but the gift certificate will be awarded to the person who logs the next highest monthly total. However, you will be eligible for the monthly award the following month.

AWARDS

Each month, the rider who logs the most miles will win a $25 gift card.

The rider who logs the most total miles will receive a prize at the club's Holiday Party.

SKYLANDS CLUB RECREATIONAL RIDING PROGRAM

One of the goals of the Skylands Cycling Club is to promote and provide organized rides for all member riding levels. Currently, many announced rides attract members training for the racing season. While these rides are invigorating they can be harsh on the rider just getting started or needing to build riding endurance. Voila….! enter the club's Recreational Riding Program. Rides announced under this tab are offered for members who want a more relaxed organized group ride. These rides will average 14 to 16 mls/hr. (C pace) and 16 – 18 mls/hr. (B pace). Ride distances will range from 20 to 40 miles over easy terrain.. ( as best can be found over 20 miles or so in Sussex County). Club Rec Rides will have a ride leader who will serve as a sweeper. Cue sheets will be distributed and depending on the length of the ride and group make up, a rest or food stop will be included. The purpose of the REC RIDE PROGRAM is to bring out intermediate bike riders from around Sussex County to join in on Skylands rides.

Cue sheets and google maps Kittatinny Non-boating weekend starts are from LimeCrest Road. (east side)

These will be C or B pace rides that will be good for people who, shall we say, need to regroup at the blinker light!!!

Rides may be cancelled due to bad weather. Cue sheets provided. No rider dropped.
