Happy Halloween TBN'ers! 
Welcome to Fall and the winding down of our cycling program. Wednesday Wheelies are still going strong, but all the other rides are now unofficial so keep checking the events calendar and Forum for possible rides. In fact, all members are welcome to organize an unofficial ride and post the details to the Forum and on the TBN Facebook page.
Fall also means the beginning of many other programs. Hiking and City Walks are off to a great start, and spinning, skating and cross country skiing are soon to follow. The first of many winter getaway weekends is already on sale - see sidebar - with others soon to be announced. Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend. Fall back an hour.
The signature event of the season is just over a week away and is already close to selling out:

The winning design - as voted by TBN members - will be submitted to a top quality manufacturer of cycling jerseys and then go on sale to members. The Board has decided to subsidize the cost, so you will have an added incentive to buy at least one jersey in time for the start of the 2014 season. Details to be announced by end of year.
Upcoming Events Both City Walks and Hiking continue weekly on Sundays. Spinning classes begin Nov 13. Check out the upcoming calendar of events and remember to check regularly for updates and new events.
