2278.0. "Beginner rides" by RANGER::EOS (ingenieur illogique) Fri May 15 1992 17:25

    
    Anyone who is new to the sport might want to make
    the trip to West Boylston Sat mornings at 9AM to
    ride with Gene Murphy.  He really is a wealth of
    information ... and he plans his ride so that a
    new beginner can just go a few miles while others
    can continue.  I was fortunate enough to get some
    extra time with him last week because it was
    drizzling and nobody else showed up.  He leant me
    a copy of "Street smarts" and took time to look over
    my bike with suggestions for improvement, then
    gave safety and cadence tips as we rode.  He
    is an excellent teacher.
    
    Gene is a member of Seven Hills Wheelmen out of
    Worcester - see one of the previous notes about family
    rides for their list of upcoming events.
    
    I wanted to place this separately under the topic
    "beginner" for those who were new to the sport.
    Please move this, moderator, if there is a more
    appropriate place.
