Ride Leaders Needed for the Following Rides FCC Members, I'll be off the bike until mid-November for medical reasons. We'll need some leaders to volunteer to lead weekend rides between now and then. The following  Saturday (and 1 holiday ride) rides are at risk of cancellation if we don't have ride leaders.  Below is a link to a spreadsheet with the upcoming rides. Each ride requires a leader. If a ride does not have a leader, the ride will be canceled the Thursday prior to the ride. To volunteer, click on the link below, review the rides that need a leader and if you can enter your name in the "leader" column on the row of the selected ride. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z1INMmicq64FjtvAjLse7EX9Gq14pwiaWIVqytrq7dg/edit?gid=1390840290#gid=1390840290 If you have issues accessing the spreadsheet or entering your name, please let me know at: brian@coxintl.com -- ----------------------------------------------------   http://www.foothillcycle.or...
