GABA Rides

GABA, the Greater Arizona Bicycle Association, is a great supporter of our team, and it is because of them that we get to go on so many fun overnight bike rides.

To make such events financialy available to us they have allowed us to do worktrade to participate. The deal is we have to do 2 hours of worktrade for every one day ride we want to do.

So for one person to ride in a three day tour that person needs to put in 6 hours.

The worktrade opportunities do not come up all too often so I am going to try very hard to let everyone know when things come up.

One re-occuring thing though that we can do and should be on top of is, attending their monthly meetings on the first Monday of every month. We can do WT there. Mostly just helping set the meeting hall up and taking it down.

I know there are some of you that really enjoy the GABA rides and others of you that have them as your big yearly goal. Daniela and I will be attending the meeting this February 1st. They are held at a random office at Grant and Rosemont and they start at 7pm. More info can be found at www.bikegaba.org.

Note: Bike valeting at the swap meet counts as hours, and hours are cumulative. So as a group we can accumulate hours. So in theory Julia could do all the hours for the whole team to go on a trip.

Thanks Julia,

Ignacio
