NEWS: October 2006
Spooks & Spokes: Halloween Ride Returns on October 28
BOO! Join us October 28 for the TCBC Halloween Ride. This fantastic tradition is a great way to end your riding year, celebrating the season with your cycling friends.
We’ll be holding a leader briefing and fashion show starting at 11 AM at Bunker Hills Activity Center, 550 Bunker Lake Blvd NW in Andover.
Afterwards, our social route will take us through the northern suburbs, with a refreshment stop hosted by TCBC member Joe Hays and sponsored by TCBC. Our 25-30 mile route is mostly flat, and will be led at a social pace – all riders are welcome. When we return to the park, we will have more snacks, and a possible bonfire!
Halloween costumes are encouraged, but not required. Check out the TCBC website to look for pictures from past years to start your creativity flowing. Remember, Halloween can be foul or fair – if the weather looks suspicious, the food, fire and fun will still happen, but the ride may not involve bicycles.
See you on October 28!
2006 TCBC Board Candidates
The members of this year’s nominating committee; Marina Lim, Richard Franco, Kristine Poelzer, Garry Glubka, Kelly Hazel, and Michael McNutt are happy to announce the candidates for TCBC Board of Directors. Three of the candidates are running for re-election. Scott Larson will not be running for re-election, which leaves his seat open for a new person to fill. The Board thanks Scott for his years of dedication and service to the club. There were two people who put their names forward for the open seat. It was a tough decision, as both individuals were highly qualified and motivated. The nominating committee chose Thomas Lenzmeier to recommend to the club because of his interest in helping the Board and club with our information technology (IT) resources. The final vote on the nominations will be taken at the November Annual Membership Meeting on Sunday, November 5.
PAUL HUNTINGTON (incumbent). Paul started riding with TCBC 4 years ago on a Target mountain bike. He credits ride leaders like LeAnn Plinske and Carolyn Caswell with helping him to develop as a rider. In August of 2004 he bought his first road bike. He became a ride leader in the spring of 2004 to give something back to the club, and has primarily led C rides. Paul’s previous volunteer experience includes reading stories to children at a crisis nursery and volunteering at the Aliveness Project. Paul feels a critical issue for the club is how new riders coming into the club are treated. “If we don’t make their first few rides with the club a good experience, they’ll get turned off to biking and we’ll probably never see them again.” This year Paul spearheaded the “FAMILY BICYCLING SERIES” to help more families get involved in biking. With help of other bike leaders Kristine Poelzer, Deb Matchinski, and Catherine Roach, they taught the families about rider safety and rider education for both on the trails and road.
PETE HAWKINS (incumbent). Pete has 30 years of cycling experience with TCBC and its predecessor, AYH. Pete served as president of the TCBC Board for two years after the club became independent of AYH. This will be Pete's third consecutive Board term, after which he must be off the Board for at least one year according to the TCBC bylaws. Obviously, one of the main benefits Pete has to offer the club is his historical perspective. In that regard, he offers this comment: "Looking at the history of TCBC and other volunteer-based organizations, I think we need to be ever watchful that we do not become the victim of our success by ignoring the changing needs of our membership and not responding to them thoughtfully." He's also focused on the safety and community involvement efforts of TCBC: "We need to find new ways of promoting bicycle safety both within our club and the greater cycling community."
KATIE ANGLE (incumbent). I am an avid cyclist with TCBC, a ride leader, and one of the many Watermelon volunteers. I have served on the Board for two years, currently as secretary. My goals as a Board member are: to continue to support a variety of safe rides for the many kinds of cyclists that are members of TCBC; to support rides starting in different locations of the metro area and beyond for transportation ease as well as scenic beauty; to promote a harmonious relationship of cyclists with the greater community of people - in their vehicles, as pedestrians, and in their governing bodies.
THOMAS LENZMEIER: Thomas developed his enjoyment of cycling back when he was a teenager. He recalled that his friends and he would take day trips all over Chanhassen. “It seemed like my Schwinn Continental took me wherever I wanted to go.” His interest in cycling reappeared in his late twenties when he did two of the AIDS rides from Minneapolis to Chicago. Both of those trips were great experiences. He has been a member of TCBC for three years; this year has been his most active. He rides a San Lorenzo and is particularly fond of racing bikes. He has worked to raise his conditioning level to the point where he can comfortably ride on A/B rides and keep up with all but the speediest of riders. “I love the challenge of pushing myself on the bike. Cycling is something I absolutely enjoy. Riding with the club has been a tremendous boon to my riding experience!”
He has volunteered in many groups in which he has interest: church, MN Nature Photography, MN Aquarium Society, to name a few. “I believe that helping support an organization by pitching in is essential to the success of any organization…new blood helps to maintain the continuity of the organization.” He has served on organizing committees that put on annual shows/events. “My experience in the IT area is largely limited to information management and development of applications (databases) that manage an organization’s information needs. I have limited knowledge when it comes to web-based applications, but I’m confident in learning whatever needs to be learned to help!”
He feels the critical issues for TCBC are to sustain the membership and to continue to emphasize the need for safety on club rides. “Quite frankly, I think the club is thriving at the moment, based on what I’ve seen in the past several years. The ride leaders are excellent. The choices available for rides are extensive. Insofar as sustaining membership or growing it, I think that maintaining/developing relationships with the various cycling retailers in the metro area would be a good way to ensure that people know about us. This year I noticed that Erik’s had a lot more visibility on the website. I think it would be interesting to explore how this type of relationship could be expanded. Safety on rides is always addressed before each ride I’ve attended. Sometimes I think that other members of the club are reluctant to raise the issue while on a ride. Consideration of how safety can be emphasized by members who look out for other members is worth exploring.”
“I think one of the key qualifications for serving on the Board is a commitment to share time and talent in whatever manner is needed. Time is a precious commodity for most of us, so committing one’s self to service on behalf of the club necessarily involves taking the time to fulfill it. Another key qualification in my mind is to foster an openness to new ideas and to stay focused on what’s working and, finally, reflecting on where more work could take place.”
How to Dress for Cold Weather Riding
by Marina Lim
Do you want to do some riding this fall and winter but don’t know what to wear? In the summer, the outfit is obvious -- if it’s 85F you wear cycling shorts, a short sleeve or sleeveless jersey, and a lot of sunscreen. Cold weather riding is a bit different. You need to be warm, avoid frostbite and windburn, and not get overheated when you ride.
To start with, if it is 60F wear a short sleeve jersey with arm warmers or a long sleeve jersey. For your lower half wear tights, or shorts with leg warmers. The advantage of using arm and leg warmers is that you can take them off when you warm up or the sun comes out and it gets too hot. Warmers are small enough to fit into a jersey pocket. Wear knee warmers over the tights if you are prone to knee joint problems. Tights and leg warmers with zippers at the ankle are a plus since they are easier and faster to remove. If needed, a vest or jacket can be worn. There are some jackets in which the sleeves zip off, and the jacket becomes a vest. They cost more, but you get 2 items instead of one, plus the versatility when riding.
At 50F in addition to the above, wear booties over your summer cycling shoes to keep the cold wind off your toes. If you use mountain bike shoes, the booties may have to be a size larger to fit over the shoes. Some riders wear wool socks and cycling sandals with booties over them as an alternative. Waterproof socks are on the market now for those who ride in the rain. Headbands keep your ears warm. Skull caps keep your head warm. (A skull cap is worn under your helmet). About 80% of your body heat is lost through an uncovered head. A helmet by itself may retain a small amount of heat.
When it is 32F or below, all exposed skin must be covered, or your skin will get burnt from the cold air. This means wearing a balaclava on your head (not to be confused with baklava at the coffee shop). A balaclava keeps your ears, head and neck covered. (The scuba diver look is all the rage now, anyway). Full finger gloves or split gloves with three fingers (think Spock from Star Trek), base layer, winter weight jersey, and wind jacket are a must. Eyes need to be protected with sunglasses or goggles. Keep in mind that the speed at which you ride adds to the wind chill factor.
Each of us tolerates cold at different levels. You may have to experiment a little to see what clothing combinations work best for you. For example, when riding in 45F a friend of mine never wears a wind jacket. He says it is way too hot so he dons a vest. At that temperature I am freezing cold with only a vest so I prefer a jacket.
Dress warmly and keep riding this winter.Recognition Corner

In Brief
NEXT ACTIVITY NEWS DEADLINE will be Monday, October 9. This will be for the combined Nov/Dec issue. Please try to plan events through at least early January if possible.
TCBC ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING will be Sunday, November 5, at the same location as the past couple of years, Brooklyn Center Community Center, just off 694. Dessert potluck will be at 5:30 and the meeting will be from 6-7:30 PM. Join us and discuss the past, the future, and vote for Board members.
BIKING ON THE MIGHTY MISS: A 70-year-old from White Bear Lake named Jim Muellner, and his nephew, Christopher Murphy, biked from St. Paul to St. Louis. In 23 days, they covered 660 miles – on the Mississippi, on a homemade water bike mounted on floatation devices and powered by pedals attached to 8-inch propellers. Each day they pedaled about 10 hours. Navigation proved challenging. Sometime in the future, they plan to travel from St. Louis to New Orleans, on a modified, lighter, faster vehicle.
Ride E'm Texas Hills in January
Howdy pardners! Time to saddle up and ride the roads of the Texas Hill Country. Our 5th annual bike trip is again headquartered out of Marble Falls, Texas, about 50 miles west of Austin. We will be offering 8 days of riding, commencing the morning of Friday, January 5th, and ending the afternoon of Friday, January 12th. There are no upfront costs. You will be responsible for your own transportation, accommodations and meals.
This will be a regular TCBC A/B ride. Self-sufficient B riders are welcome to join us. Our routes will vary in length from 30-65 miles per day and will depart around 10:30 AM. Some routes will leave directly from the Best Western Motel in Marble Falls, whereas some start destinations will necessitate a short drive. Routes will not have been previewed or ridden since last year, so you must possess a "go with the flow" attitude. There is no sag service. Also, be sure that your bike is in good working order, as the closet bike shop is in Austin, 50 miles away.
January is traditionally the coldest time of the year in Minnesota, making it the perfect time for a getaway. Come join us on the quiet, rolling rural roads of the Texas Hill Country. You won't find the terrain as steep as some of the Wisconsin hills, but it's not flat, hence the name. You will find courteous drivers, acres of cattle ranches, horses, and maybe you will spot an armadillo. Most of all, you'll find good biking with good people. Good Times - Yee Haw.
You have several options for transportation: You can drive from Minneapolis to Marble Falls (1100 miles). Fly into Dallas (3 hours away), San Antonio (1 1/2 hours away) or Austin (1 hour away), rent a car and drive to Marble Falls. As for accommodations, Best Western (830-693-5122). Rides will start at the Best Western. Quality Inn (830-693-7531). Both motels offer room-side parking, plus a small fridge and microwave in the room. Hill Country Inn (slightly less, for the budget inclined). All three motels are within a few blocks of each other.

Sideways Solvang Bike Tour in March 2007
Join us in March for the 3rd annual Solvang, California bike ride. We will ride from Sunday, March 11th, through Saturday, March 17th. We will have a group dinner Sunday evening the 11th.
Solvang is located about 43 miles north of Santa Barbara. The movie "Sideways" was filmed there. If you are the least bit interested in this ride, you really must see the movie first. It will give you an idea of the beautiful countryside in and around Solvang. It is dotted with horses, wineries, nice restaurants, and lovely green hills. Above all, there is wonderful biking on good country roads. Did I mention the wineries? We will be headquartered at the Svendsgaard's Danish Lodge in Solvang, where some of the daily rides will start. Some start destinations will necessitate a short drive.
These will be regular TCBC A/B rides of 30 to 60 miles. Of course, self-sufficient B riders are welcome to join us. The only upfront cost will be $10.00 per participant to cover miscellaneous leader expenses, such as gas for previewing the bike routes. You will be responsible for your own transportation, lodging and meals. You have the option of flying into Santa Barbara via connecting flights, or you can fly direct into Los Angeles and drive up from there. There are bike shops in the Solvang and Santa Barbara area where you can ship your bike. Last year we had a wonderful time on this ride.
To reserve your spot, send $10.00 to Susan Evan, 5716 - 19th Avenue South, Minneapolis MN 55417. We are limiting this trip to 25 participants. Trip Leaders: Susan Evan, 612-729-1441, bikersusan@hotmail.com Sue Blum, 651-690-2100, sueblum@earthlink.net
BIKE TRAILS AND ROUTES NEWS
GREENWAY PHASE 3 OPEN: Now there is a direct paved bike route from Hopkins all the way to the Mississippi. The final section of the Greenway, from Hiawatha Ave in Minneapolis to West River Pkwy on the river, 1.5 miles, opened in early September. Here are some observations: There is now an all-way traffic stop at 27th Street East and West River Pkwy, which improves safety for trail users. The trail starts there and winds up a ramp to the railroad right of way, going west. A fence separates the trail from the active railroad line just north of the trail. There are one-way lanes next to each other, with another lane for non-wheeled trail users. The trail passes Brackett Park and goes through an industrial area, crossing four streets at grade, with stop signs. The trail jogs north half a block to go straight across Minnehaha, which will be a challenge at rush hour. The trail reaches Hiawatha, where hopefully a trail bridge will be built next year. For now, there is a stop light to cross busy Hiawatha with a 30-second WALK button, which is helpful. I saw lots of commuters and neighborhood folks using the trail at rush hour. Unfortunately, the majority were not wearing helmets.
PARTS OF GATEWAY TRAIL CLOSED: This isn’t news now. Hopefully it will be done in October or early November. The Gateway was closed from the Hadley Avenue trailhead in Oakdale to Jamaica Avenue east of Mahtomedi, because a trail tunnel is being built under County 12. Also, the trail is closed from County 12 to County 15 for a widening-repaving project. The DNR had no good detour to recommend so trail users have needed to be creative! This will be outstanding and somewhat safer when this work is done.
A NICE ARTICLE IN THE PIONEER PRESS recently declared that “St. Paul aims to become the state’s bicycling capital.” It detailed the bike paths and projects that are scheduled for the next few years, and quoted TCBCer Steve Scholl, a bike commuter. Millions of dollars will be spent on bicycling infrastructure, much of it from federal funds. For 2007: 3 miles of new trails in Como Park, a trail along Ayd Mill Road between Victoria and Hamline, and 1.5 miles connecting the Bruce Vento Regional Trail to the Vento Nature Sanctuary and connecting Lowertown to Mounds Park. Many areas are planned to be connected by trails, lanes, and shoulders in the long term.
DOUGLAS TRAIL near Rochester: parts of this trail, one of the state’s oldest, will be repaved this fall.

The Bike Encounter by Marina Lim
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, on Kelly and Jim’s B’ Dam’d ‘N Back B/C ride at the rest stop that I encountered my old bike. I rode with the first group of five riders who pushed 19 miles an hour to get to the Coon Rapids Dam rest stop. I could barely keep up, speeding around every turn several car lengths behind the group. I tried to keep them in sight so I would not get lost, AGAIN. We finally arrived at the dam. The rest stop area and building was nearly empty. I desperately hoped the slower group had yet to arrive because I knew I could only finish the ride at their speed, and not with the fast group. I made a beeline to the empty restroom.
Sweaty from the ride, I waltzed out of the ladies room and saw, leaning against the outside wall of the white building a curiously shiny Trek 5500, in Postal Team colors of silver and blue. It looked a lot like the bike I traded into the store this spring. It had the same black 120mm Forgie stem. I could not estimate what the frame size was. The black Selle Italia saddle seemed vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t remember what my saddle looked like. Gackkkkk! The Continental Grand Prix 3000 tires had faded pink sidewalls. It WAS my former steed. No one else would have placed a special order for magenta tires and put them on that bike.
I didn’t touch it, but I gazed at it longingly. It was an old friend and I began to remember the rides we went on. For a moment I thought of my early days joining TCBC. I could hardly ride and keep up with anybody and I knew almost no one. It is all different now, three years later. The club has become my social network and I lead some rides -- a task I never dreamed of.
The nostalgia bubble popped in the sun’s blinding rays. The bike! I glanced around wildly, looking for the owner of the bike. A man sitting nearby said it belonged to his sister. “What’s her name? Did she buy it used from County Cycles?” I demanded, almost shouting. “I dunno. She bought it this spring. She’s inside.” He pointed calmly at the building, all the while staring at me as if I came from the moon. I lurched to the rest room and found her.
With a grand smile I introduced myself as her bike’s former owner as if it were a really big deal. Luckily she was happy to meet me and we were both excited. I was thrilled that she liked the bike a lot and there were no mechanical problems. She was relieved that I really did not want to take it back.
We talked about the extensive bike shopping effort she made, going from store to store and how someone told her that when she found the right bike she’d know it. It was an issue of bike fit. As we talked I looked her over carefully and saw we were the same height, with proportionally long torsos and short legs. She weighed about 20 pounds less than me and for a few minutes I felt like a beached whale. Perhaps the tires would wear longer for her. I explained that when I first bought the bike I went through two stem changes to get it to fit me correctly. She said the back of her neck immediately got sore from riding other bikes, until she test rode this one.
It was just a bicycle, but suddenly the world seemed smaller. I was glad the second bike in my life went to a serious rider who appreciated it. It wasn’t as if I put my child up for adoption or anything like that (some pet breeders feel that way about the animals they sell). In an attempt to live a clutter-free life I don’t keep things I don’t use, such as extra bikes. This one made its way to someone who really needed it, and that’s part of the fun of cycling. We’ll see each other on the road.
Ride Review -- Strawberry Fields Forever
Quite a few people showed up for the SFF #2 ride on July 8. Most were returning riders anticipating the joy of feasting on strawberry shortcake at the rest stop. At 10:15 it rained and we all crawled into our cars for shelter, leaving the poor bikes out to get wet. By 10:30 it stopped, right on schedule for the ride start and we split into A/B and B groups. About seven people took the 34-mile B route and rode on the Gateway Trail.
The hot sun came out and three groups of cyclists arrived at the Pine Tree Apple Orchard a few minutes apart from each other. At this time the orchard staff played a strange game in which they claimed to have run out of whatever you ordered . Group 1 couldn’t buy ice cream sundaes or the highly desired I’ve-waited-all-week-to-get-this strawberry shortcake since the bakery was out of ice cream. Next, groups 2 and 3 arrived and two people bought sundaes. Someone from the first group went back in to get a sundae and was told the kitchen was once again out of ice cream. One sundae customer was accused of having called in earlier to preorder a sundae. “ Not so!” claimed the rider, chowing down the delicious cold ice cream in front of everyone. “ I really wanted shortcake, but they said they were out of cake.”
Next came the strawberry donut incident. A rider bought two strawberry donuts to bring home to her child. Everyone else said the donuts would get smashed and be all crumbs by the end of the ride. Others figured she was really going to eat them during the ride since each jersey pocket held a donut. That never happened. After leaving the rest stop, two blocks into the ride, a bee flew into an air vent of the rider’s helmet, stinging her head. A ride leader used a driver’s license to flick off the stinger and a homemade cold compress (ice water on a cycling glove) took care of the problem . We all rode back to the Mahtomedi High School parking lot craving vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce. We hope for better luck next summer.
