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.
