Let the rides begin! Saturday April 4th.
Hi Everyone,
Saturday, April 4th, will be our first official 2009 TriFury group bike ride.
We will meet at the Hermann Youth Center Parking Lot in North Andover Mass at 9AM. We will have a short 5 minute discussion about the ride guidelines, cycling etiquette and safety concerns before heading out.
To catch the warmer temperatures, we will start at 9AM for the first 2 weeks, then move the start time to 7:30 AM beginning Saturday April 18th
Please allow yourself plenty of time to unload your bike and be ready. Helmets are mandatory.
This normal ride route is 30.5 miles through Boxford, Georgetown and Middleton and is for all levels of riders, but there's a shortcut route that will give you either 16 or 20 miles if you're not up to going all 30 miles right away. On the other hand...with some members already gearing up for half or full ironmans early in the season you'll probably find someone at the ride that would like to go around again should you choose.
After the ride, several of us usually head over to nearby Smolak Farm after the ride for some very good fresh baked good and coffee. Please plan join us if you have time.
Click here for the route map http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ma/north-andover/593156520
NO ONE GETS DROPPED. If you haven't been on a TriFury group ride in the past, please don't feel intimidated, we're a friendly bunch of very mixed levels cyclists, our fast group averages just over 20MPH and others who are content to average anywhere from 14MPH on up at this ride. The course is reasonably flat and scenic and smooth, with only two 1/2 mile long moderate hills of reasonable challenge.
You should come equipped with your own water and flat tire repair supplies.
Directions:
Take I-495
Take exit 43 (MASS. AVE.) towards N. ANDOVER,
Continue on MASSACHUSETTS AVE - go 1.6 mi. Mass Ave becomes Salem St at the new rotary, go straight through the rotary and take a right into the first parking lot.
Arrive at 33 JOHNSON ST, NORTH ANDOVER
Please contact me if you have any questions.

| Cycling Safety Tips |
Obey traffic signs and signals - Bicycles must follow the rules of the road like other vehicles.
Never ride against traffic - Motorists aren't looking for bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the road. State law and common sense require that bicyclists drive like other vehicles.
Keep both hands ready to brake - You may not stop in time if you brake one-handed. Allow extra distance for stopping in the rain, since breaks are less efficient when wet.
Use hand signals - Hand signals tell motorists and pedestrians what you intend to do. Signal as a matter of law, of courtesy, and of self-protection.
Keep your bike in good repair - Adjust your bike to fit you and keep it working properly. Check brakes and tires regularly. Routine maintenance is simple and you can learn to do it yourself.
