Ride Schedule Changes

In the picture you see Gabe, Louie, and Derek who rode with Fernando (took picture) about 41 miles including 10 miles up Catalina Highway 5/19/09.

WOOOHOOO !!! Praises be to our Heavenly Father. We had out first Mid-town Saturday morning ride. What a blessing to be able to bring the SE and NW riders together to one ride. We rode a hilly course along the foothills.

On Tuesdays at 6:00am Derek and Fernando are going to lead a ride starting 6/2/2009. They are going to meet at the Starbucks on Broadway and Kolb. Derek had the following information about the ride: "The ride will be 30 to 35 miles with C+/B pace. One of our goals is to make it to the top of Mt Lemmon. We are working on that by going a little farther up each time. When we don't climb that mountain, we will shoot Northwest toward Vistoso or Southeast to Colossal Cave."

Just to be sure, check out our calendar for any changes or updates on ride information or for any other ride or event information.

Ride of Silence Follow Up

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:15-17 NASU

Indeed our prayers are effective and draw people closer to our Father in heaven, and our presence at the Ride of Silence and other community events facilitates this. We had a good club turnout for the Ride of Silence yesterday and were able to hang out and talk with participants after the ride. It was great to talk with people whom the Lord is touching and changing. There were at least a couple hundred people riding in the event. The group took up a good 1/4 to 1/2 mile of roadway taking up the bike lane plus one to two traffic lanes (with sheriff escorts of course) . Besides a couple of small wrecks; the ride went smoothly along the 9 mile course.

It is exciting that our group can encourage and build the faith of others as we grow and are able to spread the influence of the love of God amongst the biking community of Tucson. The key to all this is prayer and thanksgiving for all the Lord has done for us so that we can be led by Him to touch others. So, I pray that we all would draw near to the Lord and hear from Him how we can be used this year to draw others into a relationship with Jesus.

First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Tim 2:1-4 NASU

(Hi Corbett Field Tucson Arizona (Ramada #31))

Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20 kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways. We are using this as a ministry opportunity to reach those who have been insured or family and friends who mourn the loss of a loved one that never returned from their ride. Check out the Ride of Silence web site.

Honor

The purpose of this ride is to honor bicyclists who have been injured or killed on our roads.

Awareness

We are working to raise awareness that cyclists are here and have the legal right to the road.

Share the Road

We ask that everyone share the road with respect for the law and each other.

Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion."

Psalm 56:8 "You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?"
