Dear Parent
We would like to introduce you to a special RAC rider. Meet John.
John is training with his grandkids Jane and Peter.
Like all of you, he is riding with us at least once a month.
Except that John flies in from Salt Lake City once a month to fulfill his riding requirement
We applaud John’s dedication to his family and we are so impressed

FROM OUR BOARD PRESIDENT. Kate’s Notes
RAC Riders can only pass two riders at a time. Volunteers are the only riders allowed to pass more than two riders.
Do not use your phone while you are riding. This is dangerous for you and others around you.
When SAFETY comes first, Fun will follow.

MEET THE VOLUNTEERS: Joe Leventhal
2019: Rode his first RAC with oldest daughter Grace (far right) who is now Youth Support co-leader
2020: Trained for the RAC with second oldest daughter Laurel (holding the dog) but that RAC was canceled.
2022: Rode this third RAC with youngest child Jake and because Laurel (the Covid Generation) was allowed to ride that year and because Grace was Youth Support, Joe got to ride with all of his three kids.
Also pictured: Joe’s spouse Erin
Joe is Youth Support leader.
In his other life, he is a lawyer and also volunteers with a number of other non-profits.

PLANNING AHEAD
Sunday, December 3
15 miles | 224 feet
2688 E Mission Bay Drive
3:15 pm. We begin promptly at 3:30 pm
Decorate your bikes with lights and join us for a glittering ride around Mission Bay
Lights can be fancy (Amazon sells kits) or a simple battery-operated string of lights around your handlebars.
Please make sure that every rider carries some form of light.
By the time we get back to the parking lot, it will be dark.
In past years, this ride has not counted towards your “one monthly ride with us” because it was too short.
This year it counts because we made the ride longer.
This ride is gorgeous. We will be gorgeous. Take many pictures (but not while riding). Below are some pics from previous years.
