Rider and Ride Leader Seminar                       

 As the title suggests, this event is for riders and ride leaders and will present information of interest to both groups.

Our featured speaker will be Ken Knabe who with Parker Mulholland are the authors of the book "Cycling Rights" which is an "expansive overview of the rapidly evolving landscape of Ohio bike law, bike infrastructure, and what it means legally and practically for cyclist, pedestrians and motorists" and is available through Barnes and Noble. Ken is a long-time cyclist with an impressive biking resume, and a cycling advocate with connections to a number of cycling organizations including a membership to our club. When not cycling Ken is an attorney and owner of Knabe Law Firm and has represented numerous cyclists injured in bike crashes.

Additionally, there will also be an exploration on our recently rewritten "Ride Posting Procedures," a review of the club's "Ride Leader Guidelines," a review on signing in to the club's RWGPS site, and a presentation of what to do until the EMTs arrive after a serious accident.  Beverages and light snacks will be available. Hope to see everyone there.     

First Church in Oberlin does not require masks but  recommends they be worn. The club will abide by First Church's policy. If you are more comfortable wearing a mask by all means do so. If not, you may attend maskless. There will be a limited supply of masks at the seminar available to club members. 

Parking is north of the First Church. There is a large parking lot which should be almost empty. Access it with the Lorain Ave. (Rt 511) entrance. There is parking beside the church which you may also use if it is available.  The entrance to the fellowship hall is on the NW corner of the building. You will pass two sets of doors on the right before you get to it. There will be a group ahead of us who will be vacating the hall at 9:30. Hopefully they will be out of there on time and we will be able to start promptly but it may be a little after 10 if they are not.
