3. Transfer of officers. Tom Chandler was applauded for his work as our charter president. Tom offered his services to continue to help the club maintain our mail list and any other technical assistance we may need. At this point Tom turned the meeting over to our 2006 club President, Mike Read

4. Last call for the jersey order. Several more jerseys were ordered and we should have close to the 15 pieces required minimum. The club will buy jerseys for future sales to make up any difference to meet the minimum.

5. After lengthy discussions about how we can better serve the diverse interests and abilities of the members of our club on club sanctioned rides we came up with the following plans:

• All Tuesday and Thursday evening rides will have three group leaders, one leader for each of three levels of abilities and interests of riders.
• The group leaders will appoint a group sweep rider. The sweep will vary from week to week so that not one person will have the same responsibility every week. The sweep will be responsible for the safe return to the start of all riders in the group, particularly the riders that may be riding over their ability.
• Every active member of the club should make and effort to host/lead a weekends ride. We encourage the ride leader to organize a sag wagon for any of the long (60 mile or more) rides. By having a sag available, riders that are uncertain of their capabilities can join for the rides and not worry about being left on the road or a burden to the other riders.

6. Ride level definitions:

• ‘A’ An ‘A’ rider should be comfortable riding in a tight group pace line at a near race pace of 21 mph for 30 or more miles.
• ‘B’ A ‘B’ rider should be comfortable riding in a tight group pace line at a strenuous pace of 18 mph for 30 or more miles.
• ‘C’ riders ride in a less formal formation and pace line riding ability is not essential. As with any group all riders are expected to ride safely and communicate with voice and hand signals any intentions. Visit our group riding etiquette page.

7. Group Leaders

• Tuesday evening group leaders:

‘A’ Cliff Thomas with assistance from Mike Ruffner and Ron Fritzke

‘B’ Pete Eddy

‘C’ Patti Hickman with assistance from Ted Palfini

• Thursday evening group leaders:

8. Tom Chandler presented to the group the possibility of our club helping with the lunch stop for the Summit Century. There is some club interest and Tom will get back with us after the Summit Century Meeting on March 28^th if they want our help.
