Hello all you MCC members. The Monday Night is coming soon, this May 5th at 6:30, 6:31 and 6:32.
We have made changes for the MNR to help boost member participation. Please check out the details on the MCC homepage.www.macatawacyclingclub.org
One change is being made for the “Race” group. Some members were worried about the average mph (23) and that it was too close the Independent Ride leaving at 6:15 pm and thus we had some overlapping. So we are adjusting the Race group to average of 21 mph and wanting the Race group to stay together as much as possible. We hope this change allows more MCC’ers to try the faster group with the knowledge the Sport group is behind them if they want or need to leave the Race group, and it gives a big enough gap between the two rides so they are distinctly different.
Also, if you haven’t received a bottle/socks for joining the club either this year or in the past. I will have some of both at the MNR. Please find me and we’ll get them to you.
