The 20th annual Rhody Tour is Sunday, May 13th (Mothers' Day) with new sponsors, new routes, new swag, and online registration: check it all out and SIGN UP on our Rhody Tour Page.  This event raises the funds we use throughout the year to support cycling in our community.  Yay! 

Check out our monthly newsletter page, under the "Home" section of the links to right.  Here's a quick link to the April 2012 newsletter, hot off the press.

Hood Canal Funding -- Take Action! Because of WSDOT’s concern over the increased cost of the project and the uncertainty over the additional funding needed, design work on the project has stopped and will not resume until such time the project engineer is advised that more funding is available to complete this project. Now is the time to ask WSDOT for the funding to fix the Hood Canal Bridge’s safety issues for bicycles before more cyclists are injured. Read more >>

Next monthly meeting: 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16th at the Pizza Factory's meeting room in downtown PT.  If you are a member and you attend a meeting, you will receive a discount card good for 10% off at The Broken Spoke and PT Cyclery, and a corporate membership rate at Port Townsend Athletic Club.  If you want to know more about us or just stay in touch by joining our mailing list, contact Lillian at pres[at]ptbikes.org

Be sure to check out our Rides & Events page for other upcoming rides. W'd love to have more ride leaders so if you want to create a ride let us know and we'll get it on the calendar! Here's the PTBA calendar of events.

We have also have a facebook page! www.facebook.com/ptbikes  It's kinda lame but it's a start, right?

Sunday Rides - Join PTBA club riders for a moderately paced ride taking us out into rural Jefferson County. This is a chance to make new riding friends and/or catch up with old ones. Meet at the Port Townsend Food Coop on Kearney St; the ride will leave at 9:30. Check our PTBA site on Yahoo for day of ride information or the PTBA calendar of events. Please wear a helmet. We are trying to have a ride leader for each Sunday.
