May is Bike Month where local community leaders can come together and promote safe and fun ways to get out on a bicycle for exercise, pleasure, or alternative transportation. Truckee Meadows Bike Alliance (TMBA) is a collaboration between local non-profit organizations, businesses, and individuals to promote bicycling as an alternative form of transportation. The primary goals are to reduce air pollution, reduce traffic congestion, support transportation independence, and promote healthy active lifestyles. TMBA approached our club to see if they could tap into our experience running the Edible Pedal 100 to help establish a new annual family-oriented fun ride to be held in May. Although many of the original EP-100 organizers are now longer in the club, we have a substantial inventory of ride-support equipment in storage and members with strong organizing skills. On December 19 our Board of Directors voted to explore the opportunity to assist in their fun ride. Therefore, I am asking for members (and friends of the club) to step forward for the following: - Logistical planning support - This will involve periodic Zoom meetings over the next few months.
- Warehouse inventory review.
- Day of ride assistance.
Though the initial ride will likely be modest in scope, it has the possibility of growing into a very popular annual ride. Please touch base with me as to how you can contribute to ride. |
