Stopping
Did you happen to read the blog post on this topic in the sidebar “Blogs and News?” If not, you can catch it HERE. In Oregon bicyclists must stop at stop signs and traffic lights when red; i.e. cease forward motion. The law doesn’t require that you put a foot down but that’s prudent behavior if you are at a four-way stop and a law enforcement officer is stopped at another leg of the intersection. Otherwise, a trackstand works and avoids having to clip-out and clip back in. The nice thing about stop signs is that they offer an opportunity to work on a cycling skill that, otherwise, you seldom use. Check out this LINK to learn how!

{"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. <br \/>\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"}}
