| Bike To Work Day 2002 - May 13-17
 Buzz says:
Since tomorrow [April 22, 2002] is officially Earth Day, I believe this is appropriate as well for the newsletter: May 16th is National Bike to Work Day. I don't give a crap if a person is doing 250 to 300 miles a week in their training, if they don't at least try to ride to work or to the store or do their errands once in a while by bike, they're not helping the environment and in my narrow, opinionated mind, are no better than the jerk with the tricked out $55,000 SUV or pick-up that's getting 8mpg. The higher gas goes up, the less sympathy I have for people that feel they have to drive everywhere. RIDE YOUR BIKE!!! Like, it's not just for training, you know man?!

| Hemet Loop - Saturday, May 18, 2002
Another Velo Allegro out of town venture.
When May 18, 2002
Start Time: 8 AM in Hemet
Location: Gibbel Park, corner of Florida Ave. and Kirby St. in Hemet
Carpool Info: Leaves the Marina at 6:30 AM
The Ride:
A short warmup gets us to the base of the HWY 74 climb to Mountain Center. From there we follow HWY 74 to Keen Camp Summit and on through Garner Valley. We’ll turn right on HWY 371 toward Anza – great downhill! Then it’s a right on Wilson Valley Rd. to Sage Rd. – County Road R3. We’ll take R3 toward Hemet, make a couple of more turn and we’re done. Not so bad was it?
Now lets go out and do it for real! It’s about 77 miles, with approximately 5500 feet of elevation gain. Beats doin’ the same ‘ol loops on Lampson.
Give me a call or preferably e-mail to coordinate carpooling. Andy.Schafer@trw.com

| The 2nd Annual L.A. River Ride
 Buzz says:
The 2nd annual L. A. River Ride, put on by the LA Bike Coalition, is happening on Sunday, May 19th, leaving the Autrey Museum at 7:00 AM and schlepping down the river trail to the LBC Bike Station and back. Makes for a 100K (62-miler) round trip. Might be something different to offer folks. It looks like there will be plenty of signage and water stops for the Freds. There is also a 40K family ride that rolls at 9:00.
