April 2011 Newsletter

  • Well spring is finally here and we are seeing more and more bikes on the road every day. We hope that all of our Cyclefish members are finally getting some nice weather and are able to get out and ride! And if you are looking for somewhere to ride, remember to check out our Event Calendar. We now have more rides, runs and rallies than we have ever had before, and Laura (HDBeech) is working hard adding even more events every day. Don't forget to put any events that you or your group is having in our calendar as soon as possible so that our users and visitors have plenty of time to plan on attending.

     

    And speaking of events, the Redwood Run is coming and we will be having our Annual CycleFish Redwood Meet & Greet. I know for many of you who aren't out here on the west coast, that you won't be able to make it...but if you are in riding distance we would really like to see you there. We will also be at the Laughlin River Run, but can only stay for the first two days. We'll be getting in on Wednesday and we are planning a group ride on Thursday. There will be more info posted in the comments section of the event listing next week.

     

    For those that are just a little far to make it to these west coast Meet & Greets, we would like to suggest that you start a Meet & Greet in your area to get to know your friends from here on CycleFish. It doesn't have to be at a rally, or even a big planned out thing, just get together for a ride and maybe a bite to eat and some cold drinks. If you want to put together a Meet & Greet in your area...visit the CycleFish Meet & Greet forum to get started!
