Almaden Cycle Touring Club

ACTC Ride Calendar for August 2003

Any Day Spare the Air Ride

Any Time, Any Miles, Any Pace
Substitute a bike trip for a car trip, or make a utility trip on your bike (commuting, shopping, errands (not an ACTC social ride), etc.) on a "Spare the Air Day" and get club credit for your miles. For spare the air announcements check out www.sparetheair.org or call 1-800-HELP-AIR. I'll e-mail announcements to the club list when I get them, too. Call or e-mail me with your mileage and I'll compile the list for the ride coordinator.

One of my favorite rides has been the one that goes past Calero Dam. It may not be the prettiest, it may not be the most level, but something about it has always attracted me.
