Cycling Tips & Stories

[Heather] Jordan, who planned the two-day Memorial weekend event, likes to take some of the warier beginning riders to places where they won't experience the difficulties of chaotic city biking. "Jamesport is one of those areas," she says. "I can't think of an area that is more bicycle-friendly. The cars are used to topping a hill and having a buggy there." . . .

The club encourages nonmembers to come to riding events like this one (and the weekly rides in Kansas City locations) to see if it's something they might enjoy. Bikers feel comfortable splitting up and going at their own speeds -- Jordan and her husband often ride with separate groups because they enjoy biking different distances.
