Winter Reflection & TRIRI - Submitted by Ed Gootee

It is a cold and damp morning as I look at my backyard. As I stare at the leafless trees and fluffed up wrens I am warmed by the coffee and memories of last summer. One ride comes to mind, the TRIRI bike rally that was held at Spring Mill SP last June. It was a 4 day event.... READ MORE HERE



Remember, our SIW membership directory is available in the members area (log-in at left).

It's up to YOU; however, to keep it up-to-date! Please review the directory and add or update whatever info you wish to make available to your fellow SIW members.

If you need the password for the members' area, please contact any club officer for assistance.



If the temperature is below 40 degrees, ride captains are NOT guaranteed (and, you had better be dressed appropriately for the weather!)

Per club by-laws: A ride may be cancelled at the discretion of the ride captain, or a vote of the members present.

In the case of a vote, the ride captain has one vote, and his/her vote is decisive in the case of a tie.

Mileage is awarded as 25% of the listed mileage, but in no case would accredited mileage be less than 10 miles nor more than 25 miles.


If you have ANY questions about a ride, always feel free to call the ride captain.
