CFBC Tuesday Stress Relief Ride

Type
Road, No Drop
Level
Novice
Rides suitable for cyclists who are new to the sport (or who have not been on a bike for some years), family-friendly rides or any riders that feel a need for some mentoring. Note: please note that minors under the age of 16 cannot participate in rides unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Families with children should, in any event, confirm with the ride leader ahead of time that the ride will be suitable for their needs.

Intermediate
Targeted towards riders who have a few years in the saddle, who have developed some riding confidence and fitness and feel ready to move to the next level. Could attract more experienced riders who are looking for a relaxed or less aggressive ride.

Advanced
Limited to experienced riders with superior bike handling skills and who are comfortable with a fast pace (probably including single and/or double pace-line riding) and/or hilly terrain, and the possibility of heavily trafficked roads. Advanced rides are less likely to be "no-drop" unless identified as such.

Description
On our Tuesday/Thursday Stress Relief evening rides, lights are no longer required as long you will be able to finish within 2.5 hours / before sunset. The pace will be modified as more riders decide to join breaking into two groups (Swifty 17/18 mph plus to that of the slowest rider following the “No Rider Left Behind” mantra.

Just remember to bring bike, helmet, nutrition, fluids, tool kit(with tools, spare tube(s) or patch kit), tire inflator, good spirit and the willingness to have fun (maybe suffer a little) while riding off the day’s stresses, building new friendships, and learning/perfecting your cycling skills. Just remember that everyone is responsible for his/her own actions and to abide by local, state, and federal non-motorized vehicle rules.

Meet in front of the main plant Bldg 200 in front of the flagpoles.

Please note that you must have a Lockheed-Martin badge to enter the compound.
Others need to make arrangements with the ride organizers (Will F, 817-763-7409 or Jim W 817-763-6287) to join the group outside the compound.
Several have been joining us near the corner of Clifford & Bomber Road. Parking is available at Veterans Park.

Thanks, Will F

CLEAR FORK BICYCLE CLUB MISSION STATEMENT Promote North Texas bicycling and community involvement while advancing cycling safety and health benefits.... more

Increase safe routes and trails within local communities by advocating for off-road trail creation, public right-of-way signage and bicycle route creation on new/existing roadways.

WHAT IS THE CLEAR FORK BICYCLE CLUB?

The Clear Fork Bicycle Club is an independent not-for-profit organization in Fort Worth, Texas. Our club is named after the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, the area where many of our rides begin. We were founded in 2004 as a bicycle activity under the parent organizations Lockheed-Martin Recreation Association, subsequently Corporate Employees Recreation Association, then became independent in 2016.

Our name and affiliation have changed over the years, but our mission has not.

WHO ARE THE CLEAR FORK BICYCLE CLUB MEMBERS?

People who bicycle or want to bicycle!
Our club is a diverse group of cyclists from Cruisers (10-12 mph average) to Pacers (13-16mph) to Swiftys (17+ mph).
We have brand-new-to-the-sport smiling cyclists, current and former racers, road cyclists, mountain bikers and all those in between.
Our members include young to more experienced men, women and families.
We are cyclists who now know other cyclists to ride with, to share experiences with and to learn from.
We do organized club rides (breakfast rides, after-work rides, weekend rides) and impromptu rides with other club members. Club participation in local charity organized rides has raised thousands of dollars for area and state charities.

We are cyclists riding with, helping and organizing other cyclists. Come join us.
