FLCC> trainers and lights

[Glenn Swan]

It's getting toward that time of year when you either ride with warm 
clothes and lights or you move indoors. Swan Cycles is prepared for either 
eventuality. I have just gotten a full season's worth of Night Rider lights 
and Kinetic trainers. I always have lots of cold weather clothing and 
accessories. So....if you've been thinking of getting any of these items 
you might want to stop by the bike shop next week when trainers and lights 
will be on special. I won't put prices on a public list, but it's a safe 
bet that you won't find them (new) for less anywhere. The bike shop is open 
usual hours (M-Th 6:30-9:30)  277-0495

I know the CU team has trainer sessions indoors during the winter. Other 
FLCC members sometimes organize rides with their friends indoors. There are 
the legendary Thursday Night-Club rides at Connecticut Hill, and we really 
should restart the Monday Night Mountain Bike rides on Mt. Pleasant while 
the weather is still relatively benign. Anyone interested in making these 
happen again ? (These are less "challenging" than Thursday nights and never 
get so far from civilization that you couldn't walk home if your lights or 
your bike failed.) There are "loaner lights" for those who wish to try 
night riding, but don't want to invest in a serious lighting system until 
they have tried it and find they like it. For equalizers, we give the 
fastest riders the worst lights, and the beginners the brightest lights. 
That way everybody ends up riding the same speed....Some guys have to do it 
with no lights at all so they just have to stay with everyone else...
