West Sound Cycling Club Saturday’s Ride
As a lung patient and physically challenged person I'm an avid fan of the recumbent trike for good health, safe exercise, fun and cycling in general. That said, I volunteered to sub publicity for our local club, West Sound Cycling, while Charlie Michel the regular publicity person is out of town doing a long cycling tour. I am late sending information about the club's weekly Saturday (tomorrow) ride. So I'm announcing it here in the wrong place for strictly sports but the right place for folks who want to ride with a congenial group of neat people. *** " Jim Llewellyn will be leading this Saturday's ride starting at 9 am from The St. Charles Anglican Church in Poulsbo. The route will cross over the Hood Canal Bridge to the Toandos Peninsula and back http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/30286988 Jim can be reached at 206-450-0101 or at jim.llewellyn47@gmail.com Daylight savings time has come and now spring is here. Time to get out those bikes and ride. Mark your calendars for the April 10th Daffodil classic. There will also be Tuesday evening rides available starting in Brownsville. Consult your club website calendar for other riding opportunities. Note: Bill, Mandy and Leo are working on rider certification through LAB and plan to be offering classes soon. If you have an interest in becoming certified in the 101 or advanced program or teaching these classes, please contact one of them or myself and I will get you the contact information.

Exercise is the key to building up your lungs and great for the emotions as well. Keep up the good work. Its people like you guys that show others even with a disability you can still live a full filling life.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I do have an opinion about the word, ‘disabled.’
Physically challenged folks are those people who figure out how to adjust to their changed circumstances and keep on going.
“Disabled’ folks are those folks with or without a physical challenge who seem to drift in life and don’t get involved in anything.
That is a shame and waste…’disabled.’
Thanks again… Sharon
Cycling is fantastic exercise that most people can enjoy. I agree with your ‘disabled’ comment.
