Our next club meeting will take place a week later than normal due to the Presidential election.  Our November club meeting will take place on the following Tuesday, November 11 at 8:00pm. The topic for this month will be how to dress properly for cold weather riding. Our very own Mike Clark will teach you all you need to know about how to ride comfortably in cold weather. Don’t miss this informative discussion. Get out and vote next Tuesday and we will see you on November 11th!

Due to scheduling conflicts, we are canceling the final Cyclocross Clinic this Thursday. Thanks to everyone who participated in the clinics. They were a lot of fun and I think everyone learned some new skills. I encourage all participants to complete their graduation from the clinics by taking part in a race before the end of the season. Kisscross is the local race series and they offer races for most every skill set. Check them out at kisscross.com. Take care.

The club will be holding board elections in November. We will need seven board members to lead club activities for the next calendar year. Are you interested in being a board member? If you are, send me an email by no later than October 25th to have your name placed on the club elections ballot for our November election. If we get more than seven people interested in board positions, all names will be placed on the ballot and the top seven vote getters will be elected to the board. Once the board is elected, the board will choose three club officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer/Secretary).

This is your chance to help lead club activities for the coming year. Enjoy the beautiful fall riding weather.

The MCC Cylcocross Clinics will take place at Ransom Park again this week. The location turned out to be an excellent place for hosting our weekly clinics so we’ve decided to stay there for at least another week. Ransom Park is located on Holland’s northside, just east of 168th street, 10 minutes from downtown Holland. As always, we will have our cyclocross “experts” on location to answer all of your cyclocross questions and provide instruction as needed. Come out and learn about this fast growing form of cycling and get in on the fun!

Following a short break, our monthly MCC Club meetings start-up again this Tuesday night. Our October guest speaker will be our very own Mike Clark who will “tell all” about cylcocross. Its “cross” season and many of our members are interested in learning more about this fast growing type of cycling. Come to New Holland Brewery this Tuesday night at 8pm and learn everything you ever wanted to know about cyclocross. See you there!
