Tailwind Ride
April 26th, 2008
Ride like the wind. It's fun and very rewarding to ride 100 miles with the wind at your back. A bus will take riders out 100 miles and we will ride back to the Quad-Cites. Rain date is Sunday, April 27th, rain or shine.
Sign up early as the ride is limited to the first 94 people. Deadline to register is April 12th. You must be prepared to ride the entire 100 miles as we do not offer SAG services. We'll bicycle from one of four locations, depending on which way the wind is blowing.
Bicycles will be loaded onto a truck between 5:00 and 5:30 am and everyone needs to be on the bus for a departure time of 6:00 am. We will leave from one of two locations, Ben Butterworth Parking Lot near Case IH in East Moline or Scott Community College in Bettendorf. Please bring a blanket to protect your bicycle during transportation. You can reclaim your blanket and any other personal items at the end of your ride. Remove all personal items from the bus. Anything you plan on leaving behind (at the start of the ride) needs to be put on the bike transportation truck. This year, to provide greater security, we will provide a locked trailer for your items at the end of the ride. The combination for the locked trailer will be on your cue sheet.
How do we know where to meet? The information will be posted on the QCBC website: www.qcbc.org after 5:00 pm on Friday, April 25th. Or you can call 563-359-8350 for a recorded message. If the ride is postponed to a Sunday departure, this information may be obtained in the same manner.
Be sure you are on the bus by 6:00 am for a prompt departure. We will be traveling approximately two hours. A morning snack will be provided during the bus ride. We should arrive at our destination around 8:00 am. Cue Sheets will be passed out on the bus. Please check your Cue Sheet for the lunch location and serving times. A nice lunch will be provided at approximately the half-way point. Also, check your Cue Sheets for emergency telephone numbers.
The cost for the ride is $22.00 per person. Make your check out to Quad Cities Bicycle Club and mail, along with your signed waiver, to John Wessel, 333 - 9th Street, Moline, IL 61265. Any questions can be addressed to Jewel Bryan at 309-762-4762 or jewel@wpcco.com<
Your Committee of Charles Curry, Dave Georlett and John Wessel are hoping you will join them for this fun ride.
