Tortoises Turn Four!
Four year's ago, Janie and Stu Goldenberg decided they would try out a new ride for those that really didn't want to ride too far or too fast -- the rule for the ride was no more than 10 miles and a pace of 10 mph. There were a total of five people on that first ride. Since then the group has grown so that there have been dozens of club members that have riden with the group. Below are some photos from their recent birthday party.

SLOBC Trikes
Four club members showed off their trikes at the club meeting last night after Frank Mullin presented an overview of the "trike decision" -- factors to consider if you're thinking of switching to a trike. All four presenters were strong advocates of riding a trike. (Go to presentation).
To find out more about trikes and trike buying choices, visit Will Benedict's website (note the trike related links in the right column).

Ride Calendar Changes
The following changes have been made to the Ride Calendar and take effect immediately (that is, your newsletter is no longer accurate for these rides).
- The SLO Velo ride will now begin at 8:30 each Saturday rather than 9:00
- There is a new group in North County -- the Scramblers. It follows the pattern of the Ramblers (departing Mondays from Atascadero, Wednesdays from Templeton and Fridays from Paso Robles) but is at a somewhat slower pace and shorter distance. Find out more in the Ride Calendar area.

Blood Bank Ride
On Sunday, September 5, we are coordinating with the United Blood Services, our local blood bank, to do a short bicycle ride. This will be followed my FOOD, and an opportunity to learn more about our local blood bank. Larry Fredericks, who owes his life to blood banks, will be present to ride with us and also promote the benefits of donating blood. This is a community ride, or at least what has been mentioned to this point is for the community. A longer ride may follow afterwards.
This is still in the planning stages. If you are interested in helping, please contact me, Stu Goldenberg, or Mona Kleman (543-4290) mkleman@bloodsystems.org.

SLOBC Hoedown
Recently Gil Pitt saw a letter in the Tribune about a group of 5th grade kids that were riding monthly from their school to ice cream in Arroyo Grande. As a result, Gil and Sandy organized a special trip in which club members gave the kids safety inspections and tips in exchange to free ice cream (on the club). In total, over 25 kids participated (on separate rides for the boys and girls). Some great photos were taken (visit girls photos and boys photos to see them). Look to the newsletter for a more complete description of this activity.
