Great Falls Bicycle Club meets Thursday, Sept. 2

The session starts at 6:30 p.m. Erin and Cameron's house, 1109 3rd Ave. N. Feel free to bring a bike and take a spin around the pump track.

Agenda will include:

• National Public Lands Day, which is Sept. 25.
• Preliminary race planning. We'd really like to get a race or two organized for next season.

If there's anything else you'd like to discuss, send Erin a note or just bring it up at the meeting.

GFBC Classifications and Rules for Club Rides

Classifications – All rides will be given a classification of "A" to "D" based on the pace of the ride and the frequency of stops to regroup. "A" rides are slowest; "A" and "B" rides have frequent to semi-frequent stops. On "C" and "D" rides there is no obligation to wait for slower riders if route directions are given.

All riders must have a signed club-membership form and a helmet to participate in a club ride! Membership forms will be available at each ride.
