Two local programs receive awards for contributions to cycling

by Victoria Brown on Dec, 12 2016

Two Donald L. Stathos awards were presented at the Siskiyou Velo Holiday party on Dec. 10, 2016 at 2 Hawk Winery. Kate Alftine and Valley School were recognized for their middle school bike program which involves teaching students basic bike maintenance, group and individual riding skills and participating in group rides. Club members donated three boxes of bike parts and accessories to this program which operates with donated bikes and supplies. The second award went to Ellen Werner, Trish Doerr and Helman School for their elemenatry school program. This program involves teaching 3-5th grade students bike safety and individual and group riding skills. The school maintains a fleet of bikes large enough for one classroom at a time to take field trips and outings together by bicycle. Great work by these teachers and schools to be leading the way in developing a new generation who enjoy cycling and do it safely.

 {"id":674,"title":"Brisk Ride","description":"Brisk rides are for strong riders who want to ride at a brisk *average pace, with occasional sprints, and brisk climbs. The route and starting point will vary - expect some climbing and, in fact, on most days, a lot. Riders should know how to make repairs. Riders are expected to review online and understand the planned route. The Brisk group is NOT a no-drop group, slower riders are discouraged. \r\n*Average Speeds \u2013 The speeds listed are average speeds maintained for the entire ride, not the minimum or maximum speeds. To maintain the average ride speed, riders will ride far faster and far slower at times. While not required, a cycle-computer is helpful to judge average speed. In some situations, leaders may feel the conditions justify a slower average minimum speed.","start_location":"Start Location Varies","unprefixed_start_location":"Start Location Varies","pace":"Brisk (>18 mph)","terrain":"Hilly","distance":"50+","ride_leader":"Dennis Cramer","phone_number":"541-773-5804 ","email":"scramer5804@charter.net","time":"Start time Varies","date":{"timestamp":1642924740,"formatted":"Saturday, Jan 22","midnightTimestamp":1642838400,"dayOfWeek":"Saturday"}}
