Thanks to all who turned out for the Artie Ride this past Sunday, about 150 of you! That makes this year's Artie one of the best attended to date. The weather was perfect, cooler temps and no rain. We had tons of positive feedback on the beautiful route, the cheap entry fee, the simplicity of an out and back route, and how fast a century it is - thanks to the lack of any big mountains.
Roanoke County Parks and Rec has asked us to return to Walrond park again next year for the ride start. They were impressed with how organized and respectful we cyclists were. I think we were one of the best events they have allowed to use the Park.
A very special thanks to all who volunteered to make this year's Artie run smoothly.
We would appreciate feedback from our members since we know there is always room for improvement. Plese send your comments to the board@brbcva.org

Just as ride leaders have a responsibility for the rides and riders they lead, riders have a responsibility to both the ride leader and the cycling community at large to ride in a responsible manner. This includes:
-Read the ride description and be familiar with the basics of the route
-Be able to ride at the posted average pace
-Communicate any issues you may have in regards to the route, or needing to cut off early, etc. prior to the ride
-Bring proper tools to take care of common on the ride issues (pump, spare tube, tire levers, etc)
-Point out road hazards to your fellow riders whether through hand signals or voice communication
-Follow traffic laws in a safe manner:
—Ride no more than double file and move into single file when there’s traffic behind
—Yield to traffic behind
—Don't run stoplights and stop signs
—Don't ride the wrong way down one way streets
“RIDE VEHICULARLY”
