Greetings and Happy Spring to fellow cycling enthusiasts! Please read on for important updates regarding our MCC 2021 riding season.
The Maine Cycling Club board met last evening to discuss and make a decision on plans for this coming season. We are happy to share that we will support rides with the caveat that plans could alter to accommodate the ever-changing pandemic climate (more restrictions with less opportunities, or less restrictions with more opportunities). At this time, rides are open to members and non-members alike.
Beginning on May 3rd, weekly rides will be as follows:
1. Monday 6pm, D pace ride leaving from Lewiston/Auburn Airport
2. Wednesday 6pm, multiple paces (dependent on attendees, D pace minimum), leaving from Geiger School in Lewiston
3. Friday 9am, D pace ride, leaving from Lewiston/Auburn Airport
4. Saturday 9am, B/C pace ride, leaving from Rainbow Bicycle
We may also post an ad-hoc women's ride for Saturday mornings, and may consider a weekly beginner-only ride later in the season.
Now for the safety information. Due to the current COVID situation, we are requesting that all ride attendees carry a mask on their person and utilize the mask when congregating during pre/post-ride time, or during a mechanical issue. Please adhere to social distancing recommendations, and other precautions set forth by the Maine CDC. We will try to limit congregating at intersections, and keep the groups small (10 or less).
Should the group sizes become unmanageable, we reserve the right to restrict MCC hosted rides to members only. Though not required at this time, we encourage all riders to become a member of Maine Cycling Club and support our efforts toward motorist/cyclist education, and many other community projects.
Membership fee is discounted until May 1st. Become a member today! www.mainecyclingclub.com/join-today-2/
Hey, did anyone else see that there's new pavement going down on Plains Rd in Poland?!
I also hear that Auburn is putting new pavement down on Hardscrabble Rd.
How awesome is that? New PRs coming soon, maybe!
No ride this evening, obviously. We are hoping for a dry Wednesday ride, leaving from Geiger school at 6pm.

Hi folks,
Just a reminder that our club is starting our weekly group rides [today], June 22. There will be 3 weekly group rides to start. We'll reassess our ride schedule in a month or so after we see how well attended these group rides are...
MONDAY 6 pm: Meet at Lewiston-Auburn Airport parking lot. 14 mph all-group ride (as we've always done on Mondays!)
WEDNESDAY 6 pm: Meet at Geiger School in Lewiston. Different groups sorted by predicted pace...A,B, C, and D pace rides.
FRIDAY 9 am: Meet at Lewiston-Auburn Airport parking lot. C or D paced ride depending on who attends. We will utilize different courses each week.
Remember, please attend only if you are feeling healthy and have NOT knowingly come in contact with a Covid 19 positive individual recently. Bring your mask for pre- and post-ride socializing, but masks will not be required during the ride, unless we group together to assist in a tire or mechanical repair.
See you on the road!
The MCC Board
