(1/22/12 update):
For the Western Wheelers, Steve Chapel, Dave Fitch, Mike Harding and Paul Melville will rotate leading the ride. For ACTC, Brian Chun and Troy Folkner may be able to list the ride and share leading it. Thanks, guys!
(Original post):
I've led Hills R Us since late 2004, initially in alternation with Van Whitis, then solo—albeit with help from many others who filled in while I was away working. With my elderly parents now requiring more attention, as well as more challenges in the bike tour business resulting from the global economic situation, I feel it's time for me to pass on the leadership of Hills R Us.
I'm retiring effective February 1, 2012, and asking for anyone interested in leading Hills R Us to let me know at
hillsrus@dorkypantsr.us. I'll still be available to post rides weekly to this blog and may still ride an occasional Hills R Us ride (or parts of them) as time permits.
I've already informed Patrice Carney, ACTC Ride Chair, that I won't be listing Hills R Us past January. I'll be informing the Western Wheelers Ride Chairs shortly of my retirement.
Thanks to all who've stepped up to lead Hills R Us as substitute leaders (you know who you are), and to everyone who does the rides, which is what made leading them worthwhile.
Ride bike!
