(If you're a member, and have a pic that you think represents the club, send it along for consideration. We might post it!)
We offered over 1000 rides per year in each of the past three years for cyclists at all levels, and have
over 1500 routes available in the PFW Route Library. 60 of our active members lead rides (many of them do so regularly), and over 40 act as "sweeps", ensuring that the people at the back of our groups are attended to. Feel free to check our ride calendar to review current ride listings. Nonmembers are invited to join our rides, but insurance requirements allow one ride before joining the club. Annual membership fees are $35 for individuals and $50 for families. Note that helmets are required and your bike must be in good working condition. Members also are invited to attend several social events that occur throughout the year, and have access to the PFW Route Library (email the
PFW Webguy if you are a member who would like the invitation).
