Greetings Spinners,

Here are the "Early Bird" Spinners on the 1st Ride of the Season on a clear, crisp evening with very little wind.



Spinner Bikers that rode on Tuesday gathered with others @ G 5 Brewery to "re-hydrate" after our Ride & to support Meals on Wheels.



SAFETY TIP:

As a side note to the ride last Tuesday, a friend of mine while driving East on Stateline Rd. about the time that several Spinners were going North on Gateway Blvd., observed them as they totally "blew through a stop sign" at the Stateline Road intersection. Yes, they were counting on others to obey the 4 way stop but last year an inattentive driver in Rockford also blew through a stop sign at a 4 way stop and unfortunately hit a bicyclist. The moral of the story is that even though it is a 4 way stop please STOP and observe other vehicles who may not be attentive and observant of stop signs.
 



"How to Ride Safely Amid Coronavirus Concerns" from Bicycling magazine. Read for information on whether it's safe and how to minimize risk for yourself and others.
 

Here is a message from the Secretary of Beloit College, Dan Schooff to Jeff Johnson reg the March 19th Rock Trail Coalition gathering that was supposed to be at the new Power House on the campus of Beloit College.
 
Jeff -


The coronavirus has thrown a wrench in our plans:  https://www.beloit.edu/offices/health-wellness-center/covid-19-information/ 

We will not be able to host the event on Wednesday March 19th - and most public health experts suggest not having large gatherings at this time.
