General Club Ride Information

This section gives information about how we organize and conduct our local club rides. Please read the information below. We have about 10 local ride routes at locations all over the greater San Antonio area and we attempt to alternate these rides each weekend so that no one club member has to drive across town to get to a ride location. If you have any ideas about a ride route please let us know.
 

All rides to be led by the ride organizer (R/O) listed below each scheduled ride above. Please contact the R/O directly if you have any questions prior to a ride.

Ride Lengths:

Although a ride length may be listed on the ride schedule, it’s only a guideline of distances designed to give newer riders a logical progression and a gradually increasing degree of difficulty (more hills!). The R/O for each ride may decide on a shorter or less difficult ride depending upon the experience levels of riders who show-up for that ride. Bottom line…If you want to do a shorter ride, we’ll accommodate you one way or another! Likewise, if you want to go farther then we will have somebody go with you…Nobody ever says “I want to do more hills" - If you do, we’ll refer you to a good Psychiatrist!

Weather:

Sunny – Rides are always a “go”;
Light rain – Rides are a “go”;
Heavy / steady rain – ride is most likely cancelled, call R/O to be sure; Wind – no problem!;
Snow, golf ball size hail, ice storm, tornado, meteor shower, or other abnormal event – consider ride cancelled and take shelter!!!

Safety & Equipment:

The Cool Cats are all about safety. You must were a helmet and ride in a safe and responsible manner. If you’re a new rider we’ll teach you the Texas traffic laws as they pertain to cyclists and also the hand/arm signals and verbal commands to warn other road users and cyclists or your intentions and road hazards, etc. (for more on this see our Safety Stuff page). Carry at least one (two recommended) water bottles and a spare inner tube. In the summer months wearing a good sunblock and sport sunglasses is also a good idea. If you don’t know how to fix flats don’t worry, our experienced riders will help you!
