    Hey cool! I am a new group leader too! A friend of mine started a Women Only Wednesday (WOW) ride from one of the LBS and I have been helping from the start. One of us takes the faster gals and the other the beginners. Well, this week is the last one she will be here for the summer so I am taking over the reins!

    Sounds like fun! That discount sounds dangerous, though. I'd wind up spending more than I made!

    Congratulation!!

    Do you print out a route sheet for your ride?
    Do you do an impromptu fix-a-flat clinic on the ride when someone gets a flat?
    Or do some simple mechanical fix during the ride? e.g. broken spokes, readjusting brakes to stop rubbing against a rim, temporary fix to a blown out tire.

    If you thought of these things, fantastic!! If not then a suggestion to make it more rider friendly.

    temporary fix to a blown tire. If its small enough, you can stuff a folded up dollar bill over the hole from the inside or better yet, if you have a large patch, usually patch kit will have one that is fairly large, and patch the tire casing from the inside.

    They have not been printing out route sheets - that's kind of been the problem. It hasn't been very well attended or promoted. That's where I come in. I plan on posting the routes on the blog once it's created.
    One of the employee riders is a mechanic, and did do an impromptu fix of a chain that got caught in a gal's rear derailer.
    Thanks, and I welcome any suggestions you all may have!

    Fun, and congrats! Are these rides out of Centennial? I haven't done any group rides yet but thinking about it.
