MCC Members,

Its that time of year when we need all members to step-up and help support the 2011 Holland 100 Bike Tour. The event is just weeks away and we need some help with registration and t-shirt sales. Here are the details:

• On Friday July 15th we will need 6 volunteers to work from 4:30-7:00 PM and 6 volunteers from 7:00-9:30 PM.
• On Saturday morning we are looking for 8 volunteers from 6:00-10:00 AM.

As always, if you volunteer for Friday, you will be allowed to ride the Holland Hundred for free!

For working on Saturday, you ride free plus you get a cool Holland 100 t-shirt and a water bottle!!!

You must sign up for a work assignment in advance. First come, first serve.

Please let me know if you can help out. E-mail me at schwarzjean9@gmail.com and give me your name and cell phone number.

Thanks,

Jean Schwarz
MCC Holland 100 Committee

Weather permitting, the first Sweet Roll Ride of the season rolls out this Saturday morning! The ride begins and ends at West Ottawa HS. Meet by the tennis courts, South Athletic Building at 8am. Ride distance is about 40 miles. Ride pace is 18mph. The ride travels to Coffee Grounds Coffee Shop in Grand Haven for sweet rolls and coffee then heads back to Holland. Come out and join us for ride along the lakeshore. See you this Saturday.

Just a quick reminder that there is no “official” Monday Night Ride this week. Typically many MNR riders due tend to show up Monday morning at 8am and organize a ride anyway. If you are looking for a more organized ride, Rock ‘n’ Road and Velocity City are offering rides as well. Enjoy the holiday weekend.

MCCers,

Before the season gets into full swing, take a few minutes to renew your MCC membership. We’ve made it easy to renew online here at the club website. Why join? Well your dues help us…

• Fund great events like the Holland 100 Bike Tour in July and the Kisscross Cyclocross Race in November.
• Your dues also help us support local charities and cycling advocacy groups like League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB) and Michigan Mountain Bike Association (MMBA).
• Your dues also helped the club make recent donations to the MMBA to build miles of new mountain bike trails at Bass River and a new pump track at Shore Acres in Saugatuck. (More details on that soon!)

Membership also gets you access to great guest speakers at our monthly membership meetings, admission to “club only” parties and rides, and official club clothing. So help us support cycling in West Michigan by renewing today.

Thanks for your support.
