Hey Everyone!
As the leaves turn yellow and the temperatures drop, you’ll notice that our regular rides will become more scarce, however anyone can organise a pick up ride when there isn’t a club ride. If there is enough interest, I can throw it up on strava and also see who is interested. Just propose the ride on slack or let me know and I can take care of it.

CLUB/EVENT UPDATES:
October 12: Our Croken Classic Gravel Race is back again this year and registration is now open! With the birth of Nick and Nina’s little one, we need a little extra help this year! The event needs no introduction, but in case you wanted to learn more or register, do so here: https://www.ertc.org/crokenclassic volunteer here: https://volunteersignup.org/REBH4

RIDE UPDATES:
October 3: Hill rides pushed back to 5:30PM to account for daylight. Bring lights, as there isn’t much of it left. You WILL be riding in the dark this week.
Weekend rides will now be more sporadic based on temperature and weather. Strava will always be up-to-date.

Official Rides are posted on strava. If you haven’t requested to join, please do so here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845 if you’ve applied and haven’t heard back, e-mail me, but first, make sure your strava name matches your registration name.
Day to day communication and general chatter is via slack.
