Ah, 2020... What a Ride It’s like being told you’re going on a coffee ride, only to watch guys sprinting for every signpost… while you’re collecting goathead flats off the back! This year isn’t what we expected. We’ve all been forced to deal with serious economic and health challenges as we navigate the pandemic. It’s been a long haul, and – let’s face it – we still have miles to go before we can return to some semblance of normalcy. From the club’s perspective, we painfully miss our regularly scheduled rides. We know that our group rollouts are a major reason why many of you are members. We grapple with our desire to ride together, knowing that we must respect the state’s mandates intended to keep us healthy and safe.
Your Membership Status You are important to the club. That’s why the board of Swami’s Cycling Club has made a major decision regarding your membership. Effective immediately you -- and all other Gurus -- have received a 6-month extension to your club membership at no additional cost. For example if your membership was scheduled to renew on October 1, 2020, then the renewal date has been pushed forward to April 1, 2021. Returning to Group Rides During these next few months, we’ll continue to carefully monitor the situation and take our direction from California health authorities. Of course, we plan to return to group rides as soon as we possibly can. Meanwhile, please accept your 6-month membership extension and help us stay on course.
Guru Strong Despite the suspension of group rides, Swami’s Cycling Club remains healthy and active. In the coming weeks, we have exciting announcements regarding 2021 team kits and other activities & promotions. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please reach out directly to Head Guru Ryan Meskimen (president@swamis.org) or any other member of Swami’s leadership.
Thanks for being a Guru!
