Safety and Etiquette for Boobs

A Word on
Safety and Etiquette

When one hears "Car Back"
the folks riding abreast must move in. 
a
An easy way to do this is for the Outside Rider to Point with Right Hand to a spot in the paceline. The Inside Rider must then Slow-Pedal (DO NOT BRAKE) allowing a gap to appear.  

The Boob on the Left
(the rider abreast)
then moves in.  

Mennonites have indeed been riding safely and with good etiquette.  
Let us do so on purpose with the grace of Gosh.

Johnny B

Iron Man 70.3 World Championship
September 2011 , Las Vegas
a
"The course was designed to be a challenge for the world championship and it certainly was. 81 degree water (no wetsuit) swim, 5000 feet of climbing on the bike, entire run uphill/downhill, and of course, sun and heat (98 degrees).

I’m really glad I had the chance to participate, it was fun being there with athletes from all over the world, and a nice way to end the season on a high note."

The Deacon - Gregg Senne from Berkeley

Greetings from the COTHP Berkeley Parish!
a
In the 50's and sunny this morning. Looking forward to 70's most of the day. Going out to look for converts soon. Anyone interested in some pictures from the Berkeley hills? Lots of cyclists out here. Fancy bikes. Roads are in ok shape. Mostly smooth, but lots of patches from construction on some parts. Hills with two digit grades.We have our own Wildcat Canyon Road. Doesn't everyone? Very close by and a good place to hook up with other riders.
a
Cheers!

Gregg
