New Forum for Posting Info About Weekly / Ad Hoc Rides

We can all agree that we need to ride more!  If you have a plan to go for a ride, etc., post in the Let's Ride! forum, so other X-Riders can join you!

Put Some More Miles On Your Bike -- Do the Charity Stops!

Pay $20 to participate.  Ride to as many of the designated locations, all over the state, as you can.  Take a picture of yourself and your bike (or just your bike, if you're solo) at each one and either post on the site or submit them for posting.  For each 5 stops you hit, you get an entry in the raffle at the end of the season.  50% of the pot will go to the Ride for Kids, 30% to first raffle winner, and 20% to the second winner.  See this thread for more information and a map of all the stops!

The Charity Ride will give you plenty of new places to see on your X!

Meeting Minutes Are Back!
