The season is starting to wind down for some of us and for others the real season is just beginning.  There are some great events coming up in the next 45 days…. Here’s a rundown.

• 10.21 Saturday Morning MCC Ride
  The sprint ride has retired for the season but a late season MCC Group is still taking off from Velo City Cycles at 9:00am for 25-40 miles depending on the weather.  Mike Mortoff will lead the group.
• 10.28 Saturday Morning MCC Ride
  The sprint ride has retired for the season but a late season MCC Group is still taking off from Velo City Cycles at 9:00am for 25-40 miles depending on the weather.  Mike Mortoff will lead the group.
• 10.29 The immortal Pineapple Bob Ride.
  This is a great gravel/road ride.  35-40 miles on as much bad pavement and gravel road as can be found.  Cross bikes or mountain bikes are recommended but any bike is welcome.  2:00 pm at Velocity cycles.
• 11.07 MCC monthly meeting.
  8:00 pm at the MacGreenway offices.  It’s also election day so don’t forget to vote!
• 11.12 Chili-chilly Ride.
  Another great annual event.  All road 25-35 miles, varies with weather.  Chili cook off afterwards. 2:00 pm at Velocity cycles.
• 11.26 Kisscross Race at Ridge Point Church.
  MCC will host again this year a cyclocross race at Ridge Point Church.  Last year went very well and we hope to exceed that this year.  The barn will again be used and we have plans for soup/chili to be available for all who race or come to watch. Within the Kiss Cross event, MCC will have an End of Year awards and say goodbye to the season.  This will be our last big gathering so we extend an invitation to all MCC members to join the day for food and fun.  We also will be handing out some awards for members of MCC.    

  Many members have given time, energy and commitment to the club.  If you have seen a member go above the call of duty please send us that name for consideration for Member of the Year.  E-mail any nominations to this address.

  Also, please send us some fun awards ideas.
