[SDCBC] June Road 1 course - DEADLINE!

[Jim Baross]

Gerry, Mary, Elaine, Rose, Christine, Rob, Deborah, and Biren... and 
any others interested:

I'm afraid that I must hear firm commitments from a sufficient number 
of people before I can confirm at this late date a Road 1 course 
offering that qualifies for the SDCBC grant funding - a free to you 
class. Instruction that does not qualify would normally include a fee 
per student of approximately $50 determined by the number of 
students. I hope you understand.

So, please contact me by 4 PM today, June 12th to confirm your 
attendance. I will reply to each of you to confirm the whether we 
will have a class or not.

Based on responses so far and on my willingness/availability to 
prepare and provide the course.... here's what I am offering.

Friday the 13th 6:30 PM to approximately 9:30 PM
Sunday the 22nd 9 AM to approximately 3 PM with "working"-lunch break

Related information about the course:
For Friday, 6:30 PM, all you will need is yourself. We will provide 
all materials necessary... LAB workbooks, Street Smarts booklet, 
Regional Bike maps, PowerPoint presentation, LAB DVD or Video 
"Effective Cycling", and "expert trainer"/me.

For the ride/workshop day, 9 AM - bring your bicycle ready to ride, 
your bicycling helmet, clothing for the weather both for 
outdoor/indoor stationary workshop/class activities and for roadway 
riding. All riding will be leisurely paced on neighborhood and local 
arterial roadways... maybe five miles total. We will break for lunch. 
You may bring your lunch or use a local eatery... we may ride to some 
if everyone agrees.

The course is to be provided in the Normal Heights area of San Diego, 
south of I-8, north of Adams Ave, between I-15 and 805. Specific 
location will be provided to confirmed participants.

Yes, if/when we meet the minimum number of students, the grant picks 
up the costs... it's free. Otherwise $50 each for six or more.
