*Plan for 2024
TNW
-We will be sending out our Tuesday night worlds route schedule for both A and B riders as normal here in the coming weeks. It will be slightly different as we will be adding four race style rides to the calendar that will have a result. At end of the TNW schedule for the year there will be both an A and B rider champion crowned for 2024.
Saturday Group rides
-We will be bringing back Saturday morning community group rides. There will four routes that change based on which Saturday of the month it is. We are planning on starting these in the early spring and I will send the GPX file of each ride here in the next few weeks.
DWC community evening get togethers
-There will be four quarterly evening get togethers spread between MBS and Toms Deli. This will be an opportunity for everyone to come together off the bike and talk about how much we like biking.
Membership price
-To join DWC for 2024 we are kindly asking for $60.
-This will enter you in the competition for best overall A and B rider in TNW, an invite to our quarterly get togethers, allow you access to buy the DWC custom kit, and hopefully if we get enough funding we will be bringing some local juniors to stage races such as Valley of the sun and Tucson bicycle classic.
