The Bicycle Club for Metro Milwaukee

 


   

2011 Ride Schedule

  Cream City Cycle Club strongly promotes the following SAFETY POLICY:

1.       Learn and practice safe bicycling skills.

2.       Learn the rights and responsibilities of bicyclists and practice what you learn.

3.       Always wear a correctly fitted CPSC approved helmet that is in good condition.

  IMPORTANT! Ride start times vary throughout the year so check them carefully. Please be advised that you will need to arrive 20 minutes prior to listed start time, so you will be able to set up your bicycle and take care of any necessary preliminaries (Non-members need to sign-in and sign a liability waiver).  We do our best to make sure every ride goes on as scheduled, However, start times, locations and actual rides may be changed or canceled For the latest updates, call the HOTLINE at 414-299-9398, box 1.

Rides are open to the public without charge.

This page was last updated on 10/09/11.

Mileage options highlighted in red do NOT have a ride leader as of this update. If you can volunteer to lead a ride, please call the HOTLINE at 414-299-9398.  If there is not a ride leader for all distances the ride will be canceled. All in RED means no ride if under a week till the ride. All RIDES are NOW FILLED

 

Things to remember about CCCC weekend rides

  • Check the bicycle to ensure that it is in good working condition. If you need adjustments, you can correct them prior to the ride. It will make the ride an enjoyable one.

  • Show up promptly. Plan to arrive 20-30 minutes prior to the published ride start time. The ride leader will make his or her announcements 5 minutes prior to the published ride start time. Showing up early will allow you to set up your bicycle and sign in and get situated. One late arrival will prevent all riders from leaving on time.

  • Look at the driving directions listed above. Be familiar with the turns and street to get to the ride start.

  • Always be prepared. Remember to bring biking accessories. Things like extra tubes, patch kit, pump, tire levers, tool kit, and wrenches are necessary. Cell phones are encouraged, but not necessary in case you are stranded with no ability to continue the ride. You are on your own for repairs, so being prepared will make your bicycling experience more enjoyable. Without the proper tools, it can make your ride a miserable one.

  • Be prepared to adapt to different weather conditions. Things like wind, rain, sleet, and temperature changes will occur during the ride. A good quality rain jacket or windbreaker will help ease the discomfort of the ride. If you don’t bring it, you can’t wear it.

  • The ride leader(s) are the last one on the route. They will follow or ride with the last rider on the ride.

  • Bring a clip to fasten the route sheet on your bike. Make sure to review the ride sheet prior to the ride to familiarize yourself with the area you will be riding into.

  • Make sure your water bottles are full. This is common sense but some of us need reminders, especially on hot summer rides. Dehydration can sneak up on you very quickly without you knowing it. Drink and drink often.

  • Use hand signals. No one can read a rider’s thoughts. Letting other bicyclists and motorists know will earn respect with bicycles and cars. Don’t yell “clear” because it will set up a trap for other bicyclists. A safe rider is a smart rider. Caution should always be considered at intersections.

  • Always choose a route within your own cycling ability. Do not try to ride more than you think you can. There are no sags on our rides. It will make the bicycling experience more memorable.

  • Most of all have fun. That’s what we’re all about.

After-Ride Socials

 

Watch for rides designated for After-Ride Socials.  Once each month, we're planning an after-ride social.  Just bring a lawn chair, a few snacks and a cooler with your favorite after-ride beverage.  We'll just hang out at the start point for the ride and welcome fellow riders as they come in.  Good chance to socialize and catch up with others on the ride.  Plan to hang out and join in the fun!





CCCC Camping Rides



PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL RIDES IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE YOUR TENT SPACE.

When space is limited, priority will be given to club members up to 2 weeks before the trip. So, don’t be disappointed. Call the trip leader in advance. Call the Cream City Cycle Club Hotline at 414-299-9398 Box 3 prior to all rides.



The cost for the camp site will be $5 per person per night for all participants. A two night minimum charge will be required, accept for the Self-contained riders.



Ride types

Looped: Also known as car camping. Drive a car or carpool to the chosen campground and put up your tent for the weekend. All Cream City rides start at the campground and loop back to the start.

Self-contained: Carry all your gear with you on the ride to the campground. Everything, clothing, tent, etc. you need for yourself is contained on your bike. (No sags here)
